All flights from Reagan National Airport and most from Dulles International Airport have been canceled today (Sunday) due to the ongoing Winter Storm Fern.
According to a 7 a.m. update, snow began to fall at Dulles around midnight, and the airport has a snow team working to keep at least one runway open, though most flight activity has been suspended.
“Check with your airline to confirm or rebook,” the airport said. “During inclement weather events, most airlines waive change fees. Use your airline’s website, app, chat function or customer service contact to make changes from the comfort of your home or hotel.”
