My flight is on Wednesday out of Norfolk, landing in Newark at 10pm for layover to go to Buffalo and land there around midnight.
As I was just recently there, and flights back on the weekend were very expensive, we decided to fly back Friday afternoon. A quick turnaround trip to see the folks on thanksgiving.
The concern is the weather in Newark. Yes, I've looked at the weather channel, but they are known for fear mongering.
Normally this would be easy. Just go and see what happens. But if it gets canceled when I'm there, they just put you on "the next available flight." If I cancel now, I get $400 of my $800 back (two tickets, my wife and I).
United said they MIGHT offer full refunds starting Wednesday morning if the weather gets VERY bad, but if they don't, that is then out of the cancel window for any $ back.
So, any of you up in NJ, NYC, Philly, etc have a better feel for what's really going to go down on Wednesday/Thursday. I just know, Murphy's law, if I go, I'll get stuck. If I dont, I'll track the flight and it'll be fine.
