Nearly 700 flights within, into or out of the U.S. have been canceled Monday, with another 4,800 delayed, due to winter weather impacts being felt across the Midwest and Northeast, according to flight-tracking website FlightAware.com.

Airports being hit the hardest as of Monday afternoon include Atlanta, Buffalo, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and Minneapolis, among others. For example, Chicago's O'Hare International Airport has reported more than 650 flight delays, while more than half of Buffalo Niagara International Airport's Monday schedule has been scrapped as of 2 p.m. ET.

After prompting more than 9,200 flight delays and another 1,700 cancellations within, into and out of the U.S. on Friday, winter weather continues to hamper travel in some parts of the country on Saturday.
According to flight-tracking website FlightAware.com, nearly 660 flights have been canceled for Saturday, while another 2,700 are experiencing delays as of 9:50 a.m. ET.
Most of these headaches are being felt at airports in the Northeast, including Newark, JFK, LaGuardia, Philadelphia and Boston Logan, among others.
One in five flights at JFK and LaGuardia have been canceled Saturday, with nearly two out of 10 being delayed.
Airlines have responded to the inclement weather by waiving change fees for impacted customers. Travelers should check their flight status with their airline before arriving at the airport this weekend.
Right in the midst of the U.S.’s year-end holiday rush, Winter Storm Devin is churning through the mid-Atlantic states and New England, bringing up to 10 inches of snow in parts of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. Accumulations of ice may make both driving and flying conditions more dangerous through Saturday.
While the Hudson Valley is expected to bear the brunt of Devin, other areas will be affected, including Philadelphia, with 1 to 3 inches of sleet and snow; and Baltimore, with icy conditions expected. New Jersey is already under a state of emergency because of the storm.
CNBC reported that airlines have already cancelled more than 1,200 flights out of an abundance of caution ahead of the storm. 52 million passengers are expected to fly in this busy time period between December 19 and January 5, according to Airlines for America, the industry lobbying group.
And as of Friday afternoon, more than 4,600 flights had been delayed because of the weather conditions.
The National Weather Service has stated that Devin, “will cause hazardous travel conditions for the Great Lakes into the northern Mid-Atlantic and southern New England today through Saturday morning.”
FlightAware reports that 1,804 flights have been cancelled on Friday as of mid-afternoon, including 244 at Newark’s Liberty International Airport, 369 at New York’s JFK, 235 at New York’s LaGuardia, 143 at Philadelphia International Airport, 97 at Baltimore/Washington International, and 11 at Hartford Bradley International.
JetBlue had been the most affected airline thus far, with 227 flights cancelled on Friday.
