Spring snowstorm snarls air travel in the Northeast
Airlines canceled or delayed thousands of flights Wednesday as another storm developed along the Mid-Atlantic coast, bringing a combination of rain, sleet and snow. On Tuesday more than 700 flights within the U.S. were canceled, many because of the storm. "The entire region should expect disruptions Wednesday morning, including school closings, a difficult commute, and air travel delays and cancellations," said Jason Samenow, chief meteorologist at The Washington Post. The Philadelphia hub had roughly 600 canceled flights and the three Washington-area airports had 550 flights canceled as of early Wednesday. The nation's four biggest carriers - American, Delta, United and Southwest - have flexible change policies for travelers in the Northeast.
