How will this effect PHL?? Will the winds cause delays on Thursday? Will it cascade in to Friday?
The current thread can be read here.

Even Accuweather can’t precict with 100% certainty. The AA policy and other resources linked to in the Wikipost at the top of the page can at least help you see what is occurring - and the AA policy is critical for those originating, ending or connecting in affected airports.

On award business award saver ticket scheduled to fly from LHR-PHL-DFW during current travel advisory, Winter Storm Grayson. I’d really like to get direct LHR-DFW in business. Of course there’s no business saver seats available on direct (AA51/AA81).
I believe they won’t make the change unless one of my original flights is canceled right?
Anyone have experiences with AA changing business class award seats to direct without award fare difference (57.5k vs 110k)?

Joe Brancatelli warns, in part:
+ After nearly 1,000 cancellations and 7,000 delays today--mostly in Southern and Southeastern states--the airlines have already cancelled more than 2,800 flight tomorrow.
+ New York's LaGuardia Airport says 90 percent of the flights there have already been scrubbed.
+ American Airlines says it has cancelled the Boston-New York-Washington Shuttle and dumped flights at its Philadelphia and New York/Kennedy hub. Boston flights are off tomorrow until at least 9:30pm. Hartford flights are off until after 7pm tomorrow and Providence flights are off until at least 9:30pm.

Why me?
ok so, I get there is a blizzard on the way to CT but I was on a day trip BDL-MIA for business and was waiting in the airport at MIA when I got the dreaded cancelation notice. Luckily I have family in the area so I'm housed, fed, and warm. However, AA decided to fly their CLT-BDL last night. Why?
im supposed to be on that flight tonight and I also have a spirit flight as a contingency. Why would AA cancel one flight and not the other despite the fact thst their entire morning bank sans two regional flights was canceled? How does that bode for my flight tonight assuming the plane from last night is stuck?
more importantly, and I'm in my own for this one...what do I tell work?
for the first time in my 30 years of life, I finally had a canceled flight, so my completion percentage is good at least!

yeah, the business was potential future business...not my current job. And all of my winter clothes are in a hotel room at BDL right now...not cool. When I left at 5am, they said 1-3 inches...now its like 10-15. Amazing what happens in 12 hours.

Does your credit card offer trip delay coverage? I now only book my trips with cards that include delayed baggage and trip delay coverage. Work will cover some stuff, but I don't want to ask them to cover my extra underwear when my bags are delayed. It also covers everything I could want ($300-500/claim, depending on card and which category it falls into) on personal trips that are delayed. Also, if you have AAA premier/plus, they offer trip interruption if you're more than 100 driving miles from home. AAA doesn't say you must be driving, from what I see, so they should cover expenses.

AA award CX flight cancelled
My HKG-JFK Cathay flight canceled due to winter storm...I booked J using AA miles, and CX agents are telling me it’s AA’s problem because I booked using AA miles (and issue is weather related), but AA is telling me it’s CX’s problem.
Any advice on who is responsible for reaccommodating me (plus wife and toddler on same ticket)? I’ve given up on retaining my CX business class...I just need a flight home.

Does not look like any HKG-JFK flights were cancelled. Also try to ask for EWR as well.

My issue is exacerbated by my wife's visa status (7-day stay in HK only and expires in 3 days), so not only do I have to sort out this multi-day extension but also have to go to HK immigration to hopefully get her visa extended. Assume that at least shouldn't be an issue given extenuating (and probably not uncommon) circumstances.
