The cancellations are “an effort to minimize the storm’s effect on operations at the world’s busiest hub,” according to Delta.

Passengers whose flights are canceled or significantly delayed are entitled to refunds.

Delta is waiving certain change fees for travelers who want to change their plans to avoid the effects of the storm and the risk of their flights being canceled.
