Flight Tracker: Nationwide delays and cancellations amid major winter storm
A major nor'easter is causing widespread flight disruptions with daily data showing thousands of delays and cancellations nationwide, impacting major airlines and traveler rights.
- On Feb. 22, 2026, the Get the Facts Data Team reports more than 2,700 U.S. flights canceled and over 700 delayed as of 7:45 a.m. ET, tracked via FlightAware.
- A major nor'easter will bring blizzard conditions, heavy snow and damaging winds to sections of the northeastern United States Sunday into Monday, dumping about 20 inches of snow in some areas.
- DOT rules state airlines must offer refunds for canceled flights and full refunds for 3-hour domestic or 6-hour international delays, while travel waivers generally allow penalty-free rebooking or flight credit.
- Because weather is outside airline control, airlines must transport passengers but owe no extra compensation; most cover hotel stay and ground transportation only if cancellations are their fault.
- The Get the Facts Data Team reports that American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines and United Airlines are monitored, and travelers are advised to pack essentials and request baggage refund for more than 12 hours delays.
