Here's a link to the waiver: https://www.united.com/CMS/en-US/tra...eptionPolicies
Looks like a wide range of Colorado airports, for flights on 3/31 or 4/1, reschedule through 4/5.

Storm coming in Friday night into Saturday but I haven't seen any reports of major accumulation. Just a typical spring storm for Denver.
Could be a blizzard or just a couple of flakes - hard to tell what we're going to get.

I'm scheduled to fly to DEN-IAH-LHR departing on Saturday afternoon but really not sure what to do at this point. As usual our spring storms are extremely unpredictable and temperature is going to play a big role in whether this is rain or snow. They are saying lows from anywhere from 32-34 on Friday night so hard to tell if things will really accumulate.

Oh, I'm well aware of what could happen. And I LOVE snow so I'm really sad to be leaving so I can't enjoy it. Fortunately, I've already built in a 1 day buffer before my critical meetings. I'm going to see what the forecast looks like tomorrow but might just see if I can get on an early flight to Houston so that I can absorb departure delays there.

I'm flying BWI-DEN-LAX-MEL on Friday. I got the email about the waiver, but just tried to go and look at changes, and they're not free! Thanks, United!
I'd like to be able to maybe fly out of IAD instead of BWI, but I'm guessing that isn't possible. I'm stuck on the 4:10pm from BWI-DEN, and if I get stuck in DEN, so be it. I just hope I'm not stuck in BWI. Ugh.

This weekend storm looks like a non-event for Denver. The mountains could be a different story however.

Actually, checking the current forecast for Aspen and Gypsum (EGE), these airports will mostly see rain with minimal snow accumulation. The thing to watch for however with ASE and EGE is going to be the visibility and cloud ceiling. It doesn't have to be snowing to get flights into these two airport significantly delayed or outright cancelled.
Temperatures throughout the state are currently forecasted to be on the warm side, so this latest storm does not look like it will be a significant snow event. If the models aren't handling the temperatures right and it winds up being colder, then it will be a lot different.

I'm flying out Saturday morning (DEN-IAH-MCO). I don't have a lot of choice on dates, so I'm not planning on changing anything. I do think this will be a non-event. if not, I'll just have to wing it. At least I'll be home if there are any delays.
