The Rebooking Race
When a massive storm hits a hub like O'Hare or Atlanta, thousands of flights are cancelled. The airlines always announce these cancellations in batches. If you wait for the official notification, you will be stuck in line with hundreds of other angry passengers trying to get the last seat on the next flight out.
Reading the Leading Indicators
You can predict cancellations hours before they happen.
- FAA Ground Stops: Track the official FAA status page for sudden halts in operations.
- Inbound Aircraft Tracking: Monitor where your plane is coming from. If it's grounded elsewhere, you aren't flying.
