Airlines cancel flights as storm nears

Airlines are proactively canceling flights as a massive winter storm approaches. On January 23, over 560 flights were canceled, with nearly 2,400 more expected on January 24 and 1,600 on January 25. These cancellations allow airlines to position crews and aircraft for quick recovery after the storm.

Travel waivers are available for those impacted, letting customers rebook without penalties. Passengers should prepare for disruptions, monitor airline updates, and explore rebooking options early. Packing extra essentials is advisable.

In case of cancellations or delays, airlines will typically rebook customers on alternative flights and provide accommodations if delays are within their control.
