Most of the recent flight cancellations have been weather-related, haven't they? I agree it makes sense to wait until the last minute, but I think the airlines are unlikely to cancel unless there is a big storm or some other reason why they have no choice.Just a note for those of you who are canceling flights. If you cancel your plane ticket you’re probably only entitled to a credit for future travel. If the airline cancels your flight you’re entitled to a refund. There’s been a lot of cancellations over the last week so if I was going to cancel the ticket I would wait until about the day before to see if there’s a chance I can get a refund. If you’ve already canceled and your flight is subsequently canceled it won’t , matter you made the decision before the airline did so you just get the credit. that’s why you want to wait
