If you're a passenger, here's what to know about what to do if you get stranded while trying to celebrate the holidays. If you're heading to the airport or already there, it might be worrying to watch the wave of cancellations. The key to knowing if your flight will go out involves taking a systemwide look at the weather: Even if the skies are clear at your departure location and it's perfect weather at your arriving airport, that might not be enough.
In cases where a delay or cancellation is the fault of an airline, most airlines will provide compensation or services like meals and a hotel for the night. Airlines are offering full storm waivers, which allows travelers to rebook flights at a later date or get a full refund with no financial penalties, but at this point, it's unlikely that air travel will be back to normal by Christmas morning.
"American, Delta, United, they've all got offices around the world," Keyes said."You can call any one of those international offices and get through to an agent who can help get you rebooked, just the same as a U.S.-based agent can but with a fraction of the wait time that you'd be facing if you called the main U.S. hotline."
