Snowstorm Halts 11,000 US Flights, Britons Down

Winter Storm Fern slammed across the United States on the weekend of 23‑24 January 2026, scrambling more than 11,000 domestic and international flights and upending travel plans for thousands of British holidaymakers. Major hubs such as New York‑JFK, Miami, and Los Angeles recorded dozens of cancellations, while regional carriers also grounded schedules. The sudden weather surge forced airlines to cancel or reschedule flights arriving from or heading to the U.K., leaving travelers with missed connections, hotel delays, and extended layovers. President Donald Trump famously called the storm ‘historic’, underscoring its severity and the nationwide transport disruption it caused.
