Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is preparing for the weather expected this weekend. “We have plans in place to address inclement weather and we are monitoring approaching weather systems closely,” according to Hartsfield-Jackson spokesman Reese McCranie.

 

Both Delta Air Lines and Southwest Airlines are warning that flights to Atlanta and other cities in the Southeast may be impacted by the weather.

 

Atlanta-based Delta is waiving certain change fees for those with flights booked Jan. 6-7 to, from or through Atlanta, Asheville; Birmingham; Charlotte; Chattanooga; Columbia; Fayetteville; Greensboro; Greenville/Spartanburg; Huntsville; Jacksonville; Knoxville; Nashville; New Bern, N.C.; Newport News; Norfolk; Raleigh-Durham; Tri-Cities, Tenn.; and Wilmington, N.C.

 

Those whose flights are cancelled or significantly delayed are entitled to a refund. Delta said its teams are preparing for de-icing and snow preparations.

 

Dallas-based Southwest warned that its flights Jan. 6-7 to or from Atlanta, Birmingham, Charlotte, Greenville/Spartanburg, Nashville, Norfolk and Raleigh/Durham may be delayed, diverted or cancelled. Passengers with flights booked for those dates can rebook or travel standby without paying any additional charge, according to Southwest.

 

Travellers still planning to fly over the weekend should check their flight status frequently for updates.
