My daughter has a SW flight changing at BWI tomorrow (arriving 1:10pm, departing 2:20 pm). With the expected snow, is that likely to cancel her flights?

But, in general, my experience is that SWA cancels all flights out of a station more quickly than other airlines. I think tomorrow should be fine though. drvance Jan 10, 11, 9:00 am I appreciate the input. Ocn Vw 1K Jan 10, 11, 2:48 pm drvance, welcome to FlyerTalk.

There's calling for 2-4 inches right now that is supposed to start in the afternoon. I'm staying optimistic. goalie Jan 10, 11, 2:53 pm Right now, it looks like only DCA & JFK have delays-but they're not due to weather http://www.fly.faa.gov/flyfaa/usmap.jsp ColumbiaPete Jan 10, 11, 7:33 pm It's not supposed to be much of anything at BWI tomorrow, just snow showers. But it's not so much how BWI handles snow as it is about aircraft positioning. Southwest could cancel flights in advance of a storm if the forecast changes. Or the aircraft your daughter is scheduled to connect to could be stuck in another city somewhere with bad weather and unable to leave. Lots of factors come into play, but at least as of now it doesn't look like snow at BWI will be one of them. |
