East Coast storm expected to affect flights in Oklahoma

According to the Weather Channel, people in Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, and NY should brace for blizzard conditions with snowfall totals expected to be over two feet in some areas. The first flakes began falling there at 1 p.m. Further south, heavy snow blanketed parts of Tennessee, and the Associated Press reported several deaths on the icy roads of North Carolina. The waivers allow passengers to change flights without paying fees, reports WTOP.

If you’re planning on traveling with Delta Airlines or Delta Connections this week, you’ll have an a la carte menu to choose from should your flight be heading straight for the snowstorm.

United Airlines will not charge change fees for flights departing out of these cities between January 20-27.

The Chicago Department of Aviation said late Friday morning that there were 155 flights canceled at O’Hare International Airport with delays of up to 15 minutes.

Fortuna will be out of the area in time, but others flying into the mid-Atlantic from Rochester on Friday and Saturday may not be so lucky. “If you’re holding tickets for those days, contact your airline immediately to change your plans”.

Air Canada passengers set to fly Sunday are warned their flights may be delayed or canceled.

A number of airlines, including American, Delta, Southwest and JetBlue, are already issuing travel waivers in the expectation that the weather may snag many Americans’ travel plans.

If you’re planning on traveling to the East Coast this weekend, you may want to think again. Chris Martin is the director of Airline Affairs and Airport Operations at Eppley Airfield in Omaha and says American Airlines announced daily non-stop flights to Los Angeles starting on June 2nd. “We’ve seen that in storms in the past”.
