Delta Air Lines : manages holiday travel amid winter storm, waivers in effect for Northeast, Midwest (Article)

Delta meteorologists in the airline's Operations & Customer Center continue to monitor a winter storm moving out of the Great Lakes region into the Northeast Sunday, as travelers head home from the holiday.

A travel waiver was issued for customers traveling to, through or from 22 cities in the Northeast Sunday and Monday, while a waiver for those flying through the Midwest remains in effect through Sunday. Both waivers allow customers with flexibility in their travel plans to make a one-time change to their itinerary without incurring a change fee.

Ahead of the winter weather expected in New England Sunday afternoon, the airline proactively cancelled 70 Delta Connection regional flights scheduled to operate through Boston.

Approximately 160 Delta Connection flights have been proactively or tactically cancelled as a result of the winter storm Saturday into Sunday morning with additional schedule adjustments possible as the storm moves into the Northeast through the day.

As always, customers are encouraged to check their flight status on Delta.com or the Fly Delta Mobile App. Customers can also get updates sent directly to their mobile device or by email with One-Time Flight Notification.
