U.S. Winter Storms and Travel Disruptions

Significant winter weather conditions currently affecting travel across the United States.

A powerful winter storm and nor’easter/blizzard system is impacting major travel hubs (particularly along the U.S. Northeast and Mid-Atlantic), bringing heavy snow, high winds and hazardous conditions.

As a result:

  • Thousands of flights have been cancelled or delayed at major airports including New York (JFK, LaGuardia, Newark), Boston Logan and Philadelphia.

  • Airlines are implementing travel waivers, schedule changes and operational adjustments that may affect your itinerary.

  • Road and rail services are also disrupted in many affected regions.

What You Should Do Now

Check your flight status directly with your airline before departing for the airport.
Allow extra time for travel to and from airports, and be prepared for possible re-bookings or delays.
Stay informed of weather and travel advisories from local authorities and carriers.
✔ If your itinerary may be impacted, consider adjusting plans where possible.
