The blizzard has brought the nation’s aviation network to its knees, with 7,300 U.S. flights already disrupted as of Sunday morning.
Mass cancellations are piling up across the Northeast, with over 6,630 flights scrapped through Tuesday as airports in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia prepare for a total whiteout.
Airlines have effectively surrendered to the blizzard’s 70 mph gusts, grounding fleets to prevent planes and crews from being stranded in the jackpot zones of the I-95 corridor.
Major carriers including American, Delta, United, Southwest, and JetBlue have proactively issued travel waivers for the Northeast ahead of the storm.
These alerts cover a broad range of airports from D.C. to Boston, allowing passengers scheduled to fly on Sunday, February 22, and Monday, February 23, to rebook their flights without paying change fees or fare differences.
If you have travel plans through the middle of the week, the message is clear: check your app, stay home, and prepare for a long road to recovery once the snow finally stops.
