If your flight is canceled, check your airline’s website or app for rebooking options. Most airlines cover travel through mid to late January. Delta and Southwest waive fees for flights until January 22. Spirit and JetBlue offer similar policies. Review these waivers and act quickly to secure new travel plans.

The storm disrupts major travel hubs, causing flight cancellations and delays. Thousands of flights canceled and many more delayed, stranding travelers. Airlines issue waivers, but passengers must stay updated on weather conditions and flight statuses to manage this chaos.

If your flight is canceled, you can get a refund if you don’t travel. Airlines must offer a refund for delays in some cases. Weather-related disruptions fall outside the airline’s control, so compensation is limited. Travelers should know their rights under the Department of Transportation’s policies regarding cancellations and delays.
