Flights in Florida and many Gulf states were canceled due to Hurricane Milton.

According to tracking software FlightAware, over 2,270 flights had been canceled as of Thursday.

According to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), some airports remained closed Thursday due to the storm. Storm surge warnings remain in effect in the affected areas.

When Hurricane Milton made landfall in western Florida on Wednesday evening, winds reached speeds of 120 miles per hour. Milton also caused at least three tornadoes in South Florida.

Tampa International Airport was the hardest hit, with 380 flights canceled as of Thursday.

If your flight is canceled, you are entitled to a full refund using the same payment method, according to the Department of Transportation. This also applies to “non-refundable” tickets.

While airlines often automatically rebook travelers when flights are canceled, given the widespread outages caused by Hurricane Milton, it is recommended that you call your airline's international help desk instead.

Additionally, tagging an airline on a social media platform like X can sometimes attract the attention of representatives who can quickly rebook passengers.

The 2024 hurricane season lasts about eight weeks and officially ends on November 30th.
