Yesterday, Amtrak released a news alert, thereby revealing the termination of train services in the Midwest and across country, due to inclement weather. Amtrak also revealed its decision was made after convening with state transportation departments, weather forecasters, and other officials.
The winter storms arriving and to come are so terrible that multiple US airlines already took the liberty of giving passengers travel waivers. These waivers will allow passengers to reschedule their flights once the weather permits travel.
What Americans should know going forward
Like this year, the 2021 Christmas travel season also saw significant delays and cancellations of travel services, owing to winter storms. However, this does not mean people have to be completely helpless to the whims of the weather.
The days leading up to Christmas serve as the most frequent time period for travelers to get on the road or in the air. However, it may advisable for travelers to consider leaving a little earlier.
