LAS VEGAS \u2014 A sprawling and intense winter storm set the stage for a brutal travel day Sunday, with airlines warning of widespread cancellations and delays at some of the nation\u2019s busiest airports.<\/p>\n

Widespread snow, sleet and freezing rain threatened nearly 180 million people \u2014 more than half the U.S. population \u2014 in a path stretching from the southern Rocky Mountains to New England, the National Weather Service said Saturday night. After sweeping through the South, forecasters said the storm was expected to move into the Northeast, dumping about 1 to 2 feet of snow from Washington through New York and Boston.<\/p>\n

More than 14,100 flights have been canceled across the U.S. since Saturday, according to flight-tracking site FlightAware. Over 10,000 of those were scheduled for Sunday.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia International Airport said that Sunday, TSA will not operate the following checkpoints at A-West, B and C.\u00a0Guests can use the TSA checkpoints for A-East, D\/E and F.<\/p>\n

As of 6 am, there were 624 cancelled flights into\/out of PHL today. \u00a0Flight cancellations and delays can be tracked here: https:\/\/www.flightaware.com\/live\/cancelled\/today\/KPHL<\/a>.<\/p>\n

PHL reminds all passengers to check with their airlines for the latest flight information and to be safe when traveling to and from the airport.<\/p>\n

Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport warned travelers on its website of widespread flight cancellations. Nearly all of its departing flights scheduled for the day \u2014 420 flights, or 99% \u2014 have been canceled.<\/p>\n

Significant disruptions have hit major airport hubs in Dallas-Fort Worth, Charlotte, Philadelphia and Atlanta, home to the nation\u2019s busiest airport, as well as New York\u2019s John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport.<\/p>\n

American Airlines had canceled over 1,400 flights for Sunday, about 45% of its scheduled flights for Sunday, according to FlightAware. Delta Air Lines and Southwest Airlines each reported over 1,200 cancellations for the day, while United Airlines had more than 860. JetBlue had more than 570 canceled flights, accounting for roughly 71% of its schedule for the day.<\/p>\n

\u2022 My flight was canceled, now what?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re already at the airport, get in line to speak to a customer service representative. If you\u2019re still at home or at your hotel, call or go online to connect to your airline\u2019s reservations staff. Either way, it helps to also research alternate flights while you wait to talk to an agent.<\/p>\n

Most airlines will rebook you on a later flight for no additional charge, but it depends on the availability of open seats.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Can I get booked on another airline?<\/p>\n

You can, but airlines aren\u2019t required to put you on another carrier\u2019s flight. Some airlines, including most of the biggest carriers, say they can put you on a partner airline, but even then, it can be a hit or miss.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Am I owed a refund?<\/p>\n

If your flight was canceled and you no longer want to take the trip, or you\u2019ve found another way to get to your destination, the airline is legally required to refund your money \u2014 even if you bought a non-refundable ticket. It doesn\u2019t matter why the flight was canceled.<\/p>\n

The airline might offer you a travel credit, but you are entitled to a full refund. You are also entitled to a refund of any bag fees, seat upgrades or other extras that you didn\u2019t get to use.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, power outage numbers remain low in Delaware County at 10 a.m. Sunday, just a few dozen.<\/p>\n
