4,000 Flights Have Been Canceled Due to Winter Storm Grayson. Here’s What to Do If Yours Was One

With Winter Storm Grayson sending snow, wind and arctic temperatures up and down the East Coast this week, travelers are facing delays and cancelations at some of the country’s largest airports.

More than 3,300 flights traveling into, within or out of the U.S. have been canceled Thursday, according to FlightAware, while another 1,100 have been delayed. That’s on top of the roughly 650 that were canceled and the 5,600 that were delayed on Wednesday, according to the site. Travel headaches are particularly severe Thursday in New York and Boston, according to the site’s MiseryMap.

If you’re among the unlucky travelers dealing with cancelations, here’s what to do.

American Airlines

Flights must have been booked before Jan. 2, and must be rescheduled to depart by Jan. 8. Passengers must select the same ticket class and travel between the same cities – or pay the difference.
