Delta cancels 1100 flights as winter storm impacts Atlanta hub

Delta Air Lines canceled 1,100 flights on Friday due to a winter storm affecting Atlanta, its main hub. The airline is working to restore normal operations and has advised passengers to arrive three hours early due to longer security wait times. As of Saturday noon, about 375 flights were still canceled. Delta is waiving checked baggage fees through Saturday and has implemented a travel waiver for select Southeast destinations, allowing customers to change or cancel flights without penalty. Passengers facing delays can adjust their itineraries via the Fly Delta app or website. Delta offers full refunds for significant delays or canceled flights, and customers are encouraged to contact customer service for assistance with rebooking.
