Not enough space for the United waivers in the OP (7500 character limit hit), but it's all of the midwest and the central areas such as Chicago, Aspen, Wyoming, etc. If anyone has United questions feel free to post here

Teddy- Southwest has the waiver, try and rebook through ATL now

Ya those flights were full before the waiver even issued. There's only so many ways to Richmond.

We're going to fly up Christmas Day via ATL for family clout

Glad you were able to rebook to flights you wanted

Almost every airport outside of the southwest and Florida has a waiver for the next few days, I'm expecting this thread to get busy tomorrow and Friday.

Good morning Cuse! Woke up to bid offer on the United app for UA2355 landing in Houston tonight at 8:50pm. We should beat the weather but I get nervous anytime I see an offer with incentive to change flights.

Morning! 2355 is showing as J0 Y0 so they aren't selling any seats. Everything out of Phoenix is sold out on United today, they're selling 4 seats on the 5am tomorrow morning. Did you put in to volunteer for an obnoxious amount of money? Tis the season to make $$$

No I'm checked in and going back to the wife and kids! I wouldn't stay an extra day for a grand at this point. Weather and Christmas coming. Merry Christmas and thanks for always helping out on the board.

Have tickets on SW120 from KC-Baltimore both today and tomorrow. Showing on time tonight at this time. Not hopeful with how many flights SW is canceling.

Your plane is coming from Washington DC (DCA), main thing I'd be worried about today is the wind. I see the snow is already hitting Kansas City and DC has rain issues starting so expect delays

Keep an eye on this link and watch where the inbound plane is coming from. You'll be able to tell if the flights going to be delayed by seeing any inbound flight delays

Yeah I’ve been keeping track on Flightaware. Thinking we may get lucky. Snow has mostly stopped in KC. Just needs winds to stay reasonable.

Update on the flight cancellations today-

Southwest leading with 729
SkyWest (regional carrier for Aa, DL, UA) in second with 213
United jumped up to third with 132
Delta with 127
American with 120

Brutal travel day today and tomorrow is likely going to be worse

Keeping this going with updates for Friday 12/23

NYC area was a mess last night and is getting snow and wind today, expect the same today
Seattle is currently getting freezing rain/ice while it's 26F outside so nothing is taking off or landing (lots of diversions to Salt Lake or Spokane)
Chicago and the midwest has the wind today
South Florida having some lightning storms this morning near Ft Lauderdale and Miami

Airline cancellations-
Southwest 797
Sky West 295
Alaska 298
American 251
Delta 190
United 195

Flight already delayed an hour, not looking forward to this. Flying MCO-MSY. Plane is stopping in Norfolk so we shall see if that leaves on time.

I see your plane went through Midway, that was your problem. Hope things are only delayed an hour tonight for you

Welp the board at MCO looked like someone stabbed it. Everything cancelled, and no rebookings until Sunday. What a shite show. Reminder of why I avoid Southwest.

No, they cancelled on you?!? frick man, need any help tonight? I'm still up and can look from Orlando, Tampa, and ft Lauderdale if you want

Nonstop out of Tampa tomorrow night at 7:35pm, SWA flight 410. Gets to nola at 8:15pm

Nonstop out of Ft Lauderdale tomorrow night at 7:25pm, SWA flight 1615. Gets to nola at 8:35pm. Much much further drive than Tampa.

One seat left out of Ft. Myers at 2:10pm, connects in Houston, gets to Nola at 5:40pm

Buy a one-way ticket on spirit for $183 late tomorrow night LINK

Or pay the $278 and connect through Charlotte on American

9am to Baton Rouge on Delta through Atlanta for $264 LINK

Honestly, I'd probably just drive if you can find a rental car. If not, rebook to another airline to get out of there tomorrow and get the full refund with Southwest

One more option for Gainesville to Baton Rouge at noon LINK

Thanks for all the help but that’s what we ended up doing. Didn’t trust any airline with all the cancellations. My mother in law lives about 10 minutes from MCO so easy place to stay the night.

Was the craziest thing, they made no announcements until about 8:35 and a random gate worker said “plane is here and crew will be here at 9:20 and they have time left so will be good to go.” Then at about 9:30 just came on the intercom and said cancelled.

Merry Christmas, and always appreciate the flight info you provide the board.
