  • 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.
