The New York City metro area is projected to receive some rain on Wednesday, so Delta Air Lines proactively issued a travel waiver for passengers whose itineraries involve several potentially affected airports.
The waiver is in effect for Delta travel occurring Wednesday, June 22.
- Newark (EWR)
- New York – Kennedy (JFK)
- New York – LaGuardia (LGA)
- White Plains (HPN)
Delta will waive any applicable fare difference (within the same cabin originally booked) for those folks whose travel takes them rebooked travel must take place June 25, 2022 or sooner.
The airline permanently waived change fees for most domestic tickets long ago. If your ticket somehow doesn’t qualify for free changes, this could give you a little extra protection.
Be Proactive
If you’re really concerned, you might want to start making flight changes now before the ticketing lines (phone and in-person) get extra, extra, extra busy.
Remember that airlines generally don’t pay for any expenses (hotels, meals, ground transport, etc.) if you’re delayed due to weather. I hope you booked with a credit card offering good trip delay coverage or you hold travel insurance. (Or both!)
Contact Delta Air Lines for Rebooking Help
If you have questions or need to rebook travel, contact Delta Air Lines directly (not “Delta Airlines”) or the provider through whom you originally purchased travel.

A fare difference may apply??? If they cancel your flights that should not happen???
As a side note, I got impacted slightly by the Seattle storms a couple weeks ago. My morning flight got cancelled so I got rebooked to a flight 4 hours later. I made no stink about it but Delta sent me an email apologizing and then a few days later both my wife and I saw 10,000 points put into our account. I’m a Diamond medallion member. Obviously I do a lot of traveling as a Diamond but I’ve been extremely lucky rarely ever getting impacted by delays or cancellations so curious if this is normal.
Maybe it was a proactive show of goodwill because of weather — or a staffing issue.
Winter storms are not named. Pls don’t fall for the WeatherChannel hype/marketing
Wrong dates. Feb 24-25.
%$&#! Thanks.
Remember when a snowstorm was just a “snowstorm” and not a “bomb cyclone”.
I should start naming storms after readers. Just because. Like, “Thunderstorm DaninMCI.” Why let The Weather Channel have all the fun of naming storms that aren’t tropical? 🙂
Non-hysterical weather forecast for Providence, Rhode Island on Saturday, March 12. High of 47°, heavy rain changing to snow and windy .
Nearly an inch of rain and a whopping ….. TRACE of snow possible. Winds gusting up to 39mph!!!! (We all know March is typically 70° and sunny with quiet winds in Providence)
The BOMB CYCLONE (!) channel…er….Weather Channel is absolutely the worst thing to ever happen to weather forecasting.
They will do anything to get eyes on the screen and terrify people.
