A winter storm is en route to parts of the southeast United States and Delta Air Lines issued a weather waiver for several destinations — including fortress hub Atlanta.
Here are the affected airports:
- Georgia
- Atlanta, GA (ATL)
- North Carolina
- Charlotte, NC (CLT)
- Fayetteville, NC (FAY)
- Greensboro, NC (GSO)
- Raleigh, NC (RDU)
- South Carolina
- Columbia, SC (CAE)
- Greenville, SC (GSP)
- Virginia
- Charlottesville, VA (CHO)
- Norfolk, VA (ORF)
- Richmond, VA (RIC)
- Roanoke, VA (ROA)
- Tennessee
- Chattanooga, TN (CHA)
Like the other effective weather waiver, this could affect people traveling to the Cotton Bowl game in Dallas.
The affected travel dates are Friday, January 10, through Saturday, January 11. Tickets must be rebooked by Wednesday, January 15. Rebooked travel must commence no later than January 15, as well. Here’s the waiver’s official page on Delta.com.
Any applicable fare differences should be waived, provided you rebook in the originally ticketed cabin of service (i.e., Main Cabin).
Be Proactive
If you’re concerned, you might want to start making flight changes now before the ticketing lines (phone and in-person) get especially 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.
