Major Carriers Offer Travel Waivers Amid Widespread Snow and Ice
Airlines in the US, including Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, and United Airlines, are preparing for major disruptions due to Winter Storm Fern, a massive winter storm expected to hit parts of the South, Midwest, and Northeast. The storm, which is expected to begin arriving on January 23, 2026, and continue until January 26, 2026, has prompted the airlines to offer alternative travel arrangements with no change fees. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has warned that the weather will become ’nasty’ on January 24, 2026, and ’turn into a full-blown ice storm’ in parts of the country on January 25, 2026. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
