I would wait and see what AA does. They may issue a weather waiver which gives you free rebooking. The key in Charlotte is will there be freezing rain in the morning. If so it’s certainly going to slow things down. If it’s a rain only event you will be fine. Current low temp forecast is 31 on the weather channel but 33 for the airport.

I am in the “ always have plan B “ camp also .
If the money difference is not a fortune I would look at Miami. Also agree tho that if the weather window 24 hours out with AA is questionable they should be able to change/ help .
…but that said I worry about the young girlfriend travelling for the first time outside US. …the best part tho is the reward being on Virgin Gorda in the end will be totally worth all the worrying.
Hard decision …frigging stupid weather this time of year eh?
We will be on Virgin Gorda the month of May and can’t wait

8 am Aviation weather update has minimum temp at CLT as 35 at 4am and 36 at 7am. I think you will be fine. The only thing better than having GeorgeC1 giving a weather/ airline prediction is to be having him be your pilot and flying you to BVI!

Forecast for JFK on Sunday has changed with a bit of snow around 1PM as the tail end of the storm moves through. Still don’t see it as causing major issues. Charlotte looks ok. Rainy and cold But no snow or ice. Maybe some delays but the flights should go.

As scheduled the aircraft for your JFK flight comes off flight 1889 from ATL. I would check the status of that flight the morning you leave. Delta has 3 flights inbound from the US to STT. 2 come from ATL and 1 from JFK. Once all 3 flights are airborne from the US you can feel reasonably assured they will make the return from STT. I don’t think you will know that by 8:30 but you could check at that point and if they all show ontime departures scheduled at least have a good idea.

They are only calling for 1 to 2 inches of snow at JFK. You can sit on it until about 9 pm tonight. If Delta thins flights you will know at that point if it operates. I suspect the flight will be fine. It’s the drive that would worry me. That is an area where you will know far more than me. I do think the flights will operate normally. They thin the regional jets first and then flights with easy alternative bookings. STT would have a high priority.

Right now everything looks good. All 3 flights are planned to operate and the weather at JFK should be passable tomorrow. Just North of NYC looks a bit ugly!

Will be following along and May need George’s advice in March . Flying from Boston /JFK to Europe for a stretch then to STT onward to VG via ferries end of April. Always a gamble with East coast storms in March .
