A pair of weekend storms is disrupting travel, as airlines cancelled additional flights scheduled for Saturday, bringing to nearly 800 the number of flights scrapped over a two-day period, with 7,000 more delayed.
Airlines had been proactively waiving change and cancellations fees due to the early spring weather.
Flight Cancellations, Delays
As of 9pm ET Saturday, carriers had cancelled 271 flights for the day, according to FlightAware; another 2,246 were listed as delayed.
That comes after 522 flights within, to, or from the United States were scrapped Friday; 4,713 additional flights were delayed.
On Friday, the weather caused the greatest impact among major airports at New York’s LaGuardia (LGA) airport, where 32% of all flights were delayed, and New Jersey’s Newark (EWR), where 37% of flights—more than one out of every three—were late.
