Air travel this weekend may face disruptions due to winter storms affecting various parts of the United States. The Northeast is expected to experience wintry weather on Sunday, which could lead to air traffic issues. A second storm system is brewing off the Texas coast and might affect the Deep South by Monday, potentially impacting areas that rarely see snow.

According to the National Weather Service, snow accumulation in New York and New England could reach up to half a foot inland. Major airlines have issued travel advisories for several airports in these regions, including those in New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C., allowing travelers flexibility in changing their tickets.

Travelers should prepare for possible delays at LaGuardia Airport (LGA), Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), and John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey advises checking with airlines and planning extra time for airport travel.

In Washington D.C., Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) faces additional challenges due to a heating system outage as cold temperatures approach ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration.

The potential for further disruptions exists next week as another storm could impact parts of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and possibly Florida. United Airlines has issued a travel waiver covering southern airports such as Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH).

Airlines including American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Frontier Airlines, JetBlue, and Spirit Airlines have all issued alerts related to these weather systems.

Passengers are encouraged to monitor airline apps for updates on flight status or cancellations. If rebooking options arise during delays or cancellations via the app or through customer service desks at airline lounges can save time. Travelers should also review refund rights under U.S. Department of Transportation policy if flights are canceled or significantly delayed.
