OK DDF, how would you improve this chart?

https://www.dansdeals.com/points-travel/airlines/airline-news/master-chart-comparing-new-airline-change-fee-waivers/

Are you able to make each column the same width, not the width of the airline name?

Because now if multiple airlines have the same policy on one row, the format makes it look like they're different options until you read each one.

Alaska and jetblue have an extra period on the first row.

"no value is ever lost.."

Piddling points about wording:

If a fee has been eliminated, then it can't be waived, can it?  It no longer exists.
So maybe where fee is permanently eliminated, it should say "No change fee", and use "Change fees waived" only if it's temporary, and the fee will be un-waived in the future.

"No fee waiver" is confusing, kinda like a double negative. 
Is it "no fee-waiver", that is, the fee is not waived, and must be paid? 
Or "no-fee waiver", that is, one gets a waiver that says "No fee for you!"
Maybe better to phrase this positively, like "Change fees are charged" or something like that.  If that's what's implied.

But don't go by me.

About the ticket type column.
Is there a point of pointing 2020 and 2021/ in the same chart? It adds a lot to the box and makes it more confusing. A separate chart for 2020 and 2021 would be more practically helpful.

It looks like there are 3 variables in the type: payment, class, and place of travel.
Is there a way to color code each variable, or something along those lines, for better readability and contrasting?

I know you only asked for input on the chart, but it's not going to stop me from offering a suggestion to the headline.

I think the headline is a little confusing and will only be understood by DDFers. "Master Chart"? Only people familiar with Master Threads will know what that means. Also, "New Airline Change Fee Waivers" can mean fee waivers of newly established airlines.

How about something like: "Changing a ticket? How much will that cost you on each airline in the age of COVID." Or "Changing a ticket? Which airlines will waive your fees because of COVID," or something along those lines.

Master chart is obviously systemic racism

Noticed a change, but it didn't help for the above mentioned.

The three say the same thing yet are uneven

I did their suggestion for even columns, not sure what else to try.

.tablepress-id-150 .column-1,
.tablepress-id-150 .column-2,
.tablepress-id-150 .column-3,

Strange, I wonder if there's a different padding width

Didn't change anything, I believe specifically the delta collum is narrower
