US EditionAirlines cancel hundreds of flights as massive winter storm sweeps across U.S.
More than 1,200 flights canceled by major U.S. airlines as Winter Storm Fern brings snow, ice, and bitter cold across eastern two-thirds of the country, affecting key air hubs.
- On Friday, major U.S. carriers canceled more than 1,300 flights and waived change and cancellation fees for tickets to and from more than 40 airports.
- The National Weather Service forecasts a massive winter system will impact 240 million people across more than 40 states, bringing heavy snow, ice and freezing rain from Texas to the Carolinas.
- To help reduce disruption, carriers are repositioning planes and increasing airport staffing and deicing support teams, while Delta Air Lines urges travelers to verify flight status before arriving.
- Travelers should note that the U.S. Department of Transportation says passengers can get refunds for canceled or delayed flights, but waivers apply only to 35 eligible airports from Jan. 23 to Jan. 25 with purchase deadlines on Jan. 19 and change deadlines on Jan. 25.
- Notably, airlines are extending waivers to cover basic-economy tickets and FlightAware reported 11,351 delays Friday as travel experts urged quick rebooking and seat-sharing with competing airlines.
