We can't control things that are out of our control. Although you may not think of New York City as an outdoor destination, you should expect to spend a good portion of your visit outside, usually walking. Some airlines have taken a proactive approach by canceling routes now, but with the unpredictability of the weather, it is a bit like using a Magic 8 Ball to make major decisions.
You can expect rain for roughly half of the. And as experts have warned, this summer will be especially precarious, with one even describing it as likely to be "chaotic" season for traveling due to other issues, such as staffing shortages and the surge in demand for air travel, which can compound the scheduling issues. New York in May is experiencing low temperatures as 53F and high of 68F. With a better understanding of this matrix of schedules, it is more understandable how a storm in Toronto could end up canceling your flight out of Philadelphia. And these days, there aren't a lot of spare pilots available. This means the flight to the third destination would have to be canceled if there isn't another pilot to fly there. So, if a pilot on a flight out of one location is experiencing a significant delay, such as that time sitting on the tarmac, which still factors into their consecutive hours, or if they land at the next destination, with a flight to a third destination scheduled, but they will exceed their flying hours by the completion of that last flight, they won't be able to fly. Flight crews, especially pilots, are only allowed to fly for a certain number of consecutive hours before taking a mandatory break for safety reasons, which federal and workplace policies reinforce. "If you don't have airplanes in the right place, you don't have crews in the right place," he said.įlight schedules are essentially a very complex Jenga structure, and if one piece falls, say a significant hub like Atlanta or New York has delays due to inclement weather, the entire thing can crumble. "If you have nowhere to send airplanes, you have to stop the airplanes from taking off," Robert Mann, an aviation consultant, told TPG. The Points Guy spoke to industry experts to determine why your flight to Houston out of New York might get canceled, even though the bad weather is in Atlanta. It isn't some grand conspiracy, and the weather isn't a scapegoat for other issues. Other times, when you look outside and see sunny skies and know your destination has pleasant weather, too, you might be wondering what gives. And when you can see dark storm clouds churning or puffs of snow swirling, that makes perfect sense. Often, bad weather gets blamed for mass cancellations. If you've ever stood in a crowded airport and watched as dozens of flights on the board flicker from "On Time" to "Canceled," you know it feels slightly apocalyptic.
