Winter travel can be unpredictable, with weather-related delays often wreaking havoc on even the best-laid plans. As the holiday season approaches, airports across the country brace for an uptick in travel volume—and with that comes the inevitable risk of delays, especially during inclement weather.

In this article, we’ll highlight the airports most susceptible to weather-related disruptions and show how partnering with INTT Advisor and utilizing the Global Airfare Control Center (GACC) can help travel advisors provide proactive solutions for clients facing winter weather challenges.

The Most Weather-Delayed Airports This Winter

The following airports have proven to be especially vulnerable to weather delays during the winter months, making them key points of concern for holiday travelers:

• San Francisco International (SFO): Over the last five years, 42.3% of delays at SFO were weather-related, with December being particularly problematic (50.5% of delays).
• Newark Liberty International (EWR): Weather disruptions cause 42.1% of delays, with the airport bearing the brunt of winter storms on the East Coast.
• LaGuardia Airport (LGA): With 38.3% of delays caused by weather, LaGuardia is another major East Coast airport impacted by winter storms.
• Seattle-Tacoma International (SEA): Seattle’s fog and rain, particularly in November, contribute to nearly 38.1% of weather-related delays.
• Logan International Airport (BOS): Boston sees 31.3% of delays stemming from weather, a common issue for the Northeast during the winter months.

Other perennial delay-prone airports include Chicago O’Hare (ORD) and Houston International (IAH), both of which frequently experience weather-induced disruptions year-round. Knowing which airports are most susceptible to delays gives travelers a heads-up to prepare for setbacks, and it is essential for travel advisors to be ready to offer actionable solutions when these disruptions occur.
