Airlines Issue Travel Alerts Ahead of Predicted Winter Storm in the Northeast
05.01.2024 - 15:49 / travelandleisure.com / Kathy Hochul / Winter Storm
A winter storm is preparing to pelt the East Coast with snow, ice, and rain this weekend, and airlines are preparing by issuing travel alerts.
The worst of the storm is likely to hit north of New York City with areas into the Hudson Valley and along the Connecticut coast expected to receive up to 10 inches of snow, CNN reported. In Boston, residents may see 4 to 7 inches of snow from late Saturday through Sunday night, and areas like Worcester, Massachusetts, may see as much as 6 to 12 inches.
Several airlines were preparing for the storm by proactively issuing travel advisories for large swaths of the Northeast. Delta Air Lines issued an alert for cities as far south as Roanoke, Virginia, and as far north as Maine for travel on Saturday and Sunday. Similarly, United Airlines, American Airlines, JetBlue, and Spirit Airlines each issued weekend alerts for states including New York, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, and beyond.
Airlines that issue these travel alerts waive change fees and fare differences so passengers can reschedule their flights around the storm.
Flight disruptions were possible over the weekend, but travel on Friday was relatively smooth with about 700 delays within, into, or out of the United States as of Friday morning and about 30 cancellations recorded, according to flight tracker FlightAware.
In New York, Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement the state was monitoring the forecast, but urged people “to be vigilant” as she expected “heavy, wet snowfall across various regions, potentially causing power outages and hazardous travel.”
While winter storms present travel challenges, one group was ready to welcome the snow: New York’s snow-starved ski resorts. Belleayre Mountain in New York’s Catskill Mountains wrote it was “intently” watching the forecast, and Hunter Mountain wrote it was “gearing up” for the storm.
