The 2013 Nemo blizzard is threatening to bring more than two feet of snow and gale-force winds to much of the Northeast on Feb. 8, 2013, forcing massive airline delays and flight cancelations on Friday.
More than 2,400 flights have already been canceled. Airlines including Southwest Airlines, Jet Blue, American Airlines, US Airways, Delta Airlines are posting delays, cancellations, and ticket change policies for flights in and out of Boston Logan, T.F. Green, Laguardia and JFK airports.
It is important to check with your airline for the latest information on cancelations and delays during the snowstorm. Change fees have been waived by most airlines due to the massive snowfall amounts expected during Winter Storm Nemo.
