Winter Storm Fern: Delta's Plan to Keep You Safe and Moving

Ice and Snow Expected in Atlanta and the Northeast

Delta is taking precautionary measures to ensure passenger safety as Winter Storm Fern approaches. The airline has begun canceling flights in anticipation of severe weather conditions.

Travel Advisory for the Weekend

If you have travel plans this weekend, Delta recommends reviewing and possibly changing your itinerary. The airline has implemented waivers until Monday, Jan. 26, allowing passengers to adjust their flights without incurring additional fees. Changes can be made conveniently through the Delta app or their website.

Delta's Preparedness Efforts

To maintain smooth operations, Delta is:

• Adding extra staff, including pilots and flight attendants.
• Deploying experts from colder regions to assist with deicing and baggage handling in Southern airports.
• Minimizing plane exposure to frozen precipitation to expedite recovery once the weather clears.

What to Do if Your Flight is Affected

• Delta will automatically rebook passengers on the next available flight if theirs is canceled or delayed.
• If you prefer an alternative option, contact Delta for assistance in finding another flight.
• If your flight is delayed for more than three hours domestically or six hours internationally, you are eligible for a full refund for the unused portion of your ticket.

Stay Informed

Delta is committed to keeping passengers informed. Updates will be sent via phone or email, so check your flight status regularly. Additionally, Delta advises passengers to verify their flight status before heading to the airport.
