Storm cancels more flights at O'Hare, Midway
Travelers heading to the east coast are being stranded at Chicago area airports due to a massive blizzard blanketing states from New York through Maine.
280 flights at O'Hare International Airport to the east coast have been canceled, according to the Chicago Department of Aviation. Midway Airport has reported 45 flight cancellations.
Those cancellations are on top of the 220 flights canceled from both airports on Monday.
Nationwide, United Airlines canceled flights into Boston, New York and Philadelphia. JetBlue, which serves the Northeast, canceled about one-third of its entire schedule.
Most major airlines are allowing customers whose flights are canceled in the next few days to book new flights without paying a penalty. Customers ticketed on flights to dozens of Eastern airports are generally eligible for the allowance, though specific terms vary by airline.
