The rules
- Watch for travel waivers — airlines will often allow free changes 24–72 hours ahead of major storms.
- Move proactively during the waiver window, not after.
- Avoid hub-to-hub during the storm — choose origin-to-destination via an unaffected airport if possible.
- Earlier departures survive the day; the daily delay accumulates.
- Day-of: be at the airport with your phone open to the app + FlightyFlow.
