/REBOOKING

Delta has issued a weather waiver for nine Northeast airports for August 6-7, covering BOS, JFK, LGA, HPN, EWR, PHL, BWI, DCA, and IAD. Rebook in the same cabin by August 10 and fare differences are waived — though deep discount fares may still trigger a charge. The broad list, including non-Delta hubs like PHL and BWI, signals airspace-wide ATC delays rather than just Delta's own operation. Move now via the Fly Delta app or delta.com before phone lines jam up.

WestJet's flight attendant strike as of August 2 has grounded virtually all mainline flights, but Canadian law requires the airline to rebook you on the next available flight, even on another carrier. However, with peak summer travel, finding seats is tough. The government may intervene as it did with Air Canada last year, but no guarantee. Know your rights and options.
