So far, over 3,200 flights have been cancelled across the U.S. including flights from New York City, Boston, and Washington D.C.

Over a third of flights flying in and out of LaGuardia, JFK, Newark, Philadelphia, Reagan National, Washington Dulles, and Logan airports have been cancelled.

Passengers travelling to JFK should allow extra travel time as the AirTrain has been suspended due to a fire. Free shuttle buses are being provided but will take much longer to get to terminals.

In addition to the cancellations, thousands of flights have been delayed.
