The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has announced that over 600 flights have been preemptively cancelled across major airports in New York, Washington, Boston, as severe snow and icy conditions disrupt operations.
Air travel disruptions are expected to continue into the week due to a second storm system targeting the Deep South by Monday and Tuesday. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) warns of potential delays at airports in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, and Florida.
DOT reminds travelers of their rights under federal law, which mandates refunds for canceled flights, even when weather is the cause. Passengers are advised to monitor airline travel advisories, use mobile apps to rebook flights, and plan ahead, allowing extra time and staying informed about potential delays through official websites and social media channels.
Transportation agencies and airport authorities urge travelers to stay vigilant and prepare for potential disruptions. The second storm system may impact airports such as Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL).
