What happens if my flight is cancelled due to weather?
I had booked a flight to New York but because of the weather I think there is a good chance it will be cancelled. What happens then and what should I do? If it does gets cancelled I think all the flights around that time will be too, so it's not like they can re-book me into the next flight.
By the way, this flight is booked with points so my credit card flight delay/cancellation insurance doesn't apply. I have to rely on AA to resolve it for me.

Your other option would be to cancel the booking and just get your miles back in account.

Just because your flight is cancelled doesn't necessarily mean the next one will be.
With the conditions right now, they are just reducing the number of planes that are coming into JFK/NYC/etc. Flights are still going, but there aren't enough seats because of the decrease in flights.
You should have still paid taxes with a credit card, so insurance may still apply.
