Winter weather, omicron variant impact holiday flight schedule

A combination of issues, including but not limited to inclement weather in some areas of the country and the impact of the omicron variant, are driving cancellations that are expected throughout the weekend.

As winter weather impacts the northwest and northeast U.S. the omicron variant continues to surge, Delta teams exhausted all options and resources before canceling around 158 flights in Friday’s nearly 3,100-flight schedule.

We apologize to our customers for the delay in their holiday travel plans. Delta people are working together around the clock to reroute and substitute aircraft and crews to get customers where they need to be as quickly and as safely as possible. When that’s not possible, Delta Reservations specialists coordinate with our Operations and Customer Center to get those impacted on the next available flight.

A combination of issues, including but not limited to inclement weather in some areas of the country and the impact of the omicron variant, are driving cancellations and potential delays. Upwards of 150 cancels per day are expected both Saturday and Sunday.

Customers are encouraged to check their flight status and manage their rebooking via Delta.com or the Fly Delta mobile app. Updates can also be sent directly to a mobile device or by email.
