Storm Gianna Triggers 3,700+ Cancellations Across East Coast Flights

Winter Storm Gianna disrupted East Coast air travel this weekend, prompting about 3,700 flight cancellations as major hubs like CLT and ATL faced heavy disruption; American led with 425 Sunday cancellations (about 13% of its schedule), Delta canceled 500 on Saturday but rebounded on Sunday, and Raleigh-Durham was also hit hard. Travelers are advised to use airline waivers and apps to rebook, monitor forecasts, and be aware of DOT refund rights for cancellations and significant delays; weather-related disruptions often don’t qualify for vouchers, though travel insurance or card protections may help cover related costs.
