Some U.S. airlines are allowing free flight changes amid weather delays. What to know if you're traveling Wednesday and Thursday.
Over 2,500 flights are delayed, with nearly 500 canceled within the U.S. on Wednesday. Some major U.S. airlines are allowing passengers traveling to, from or through specific airports in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic this week to change their flights free of charge due to expected delays from forecasted weather conditions. 'A large area of warm and moist air already present across the eastern U.S and into [the] Deep South will be an ingredient for scattered showers and thunderstorms that are expected to be most active from late afternoon into the evening hours,' the National Weather Service said in a Wednesday update. 'Heavy rain can be expected to accompany the stronger storms through the next couple of days in these areas.' As of 1 p.m. ET Wednesday, there were over 2,500 total flight delays, and nearly 500 were canceled, flying into, within or out of the U.S., according to data from FlightAware. Delta, JetBlue, and Southwest airlines issued travel advisories on Wednesday, alerting passengers that their flights in and out of certain hubs could be delayed, diverted or canceled and offered customers the opportunity to change their flights at no extra cost. Travelers can monitor their flight status through their airline's app, or they can enter their flight information into FlightAware to see if it's on time or delayed. Here's what else to know for each of those airlines: Delta The airline issued a travel advisory on Aug. 13 for flights traveling to, from and through the following cities: Baltimore, Md.

Snack On Crunchyroll Anime On Your Next Delta Flight
In-flight entertainment has improved by leaps and bounds over the years. We've come a long way from everyone having to watch the same bad movie to individual touchscreens with Bluetooth integration and viewing options from numerous streaming services. CNET reports that in addition to popular options like Spotify and Paramount Plus, Delta will soon bring anime to the skies, courtesy of Crunchyroll. Anime fans already know about Crunchyroll, but for everyone else, it's an all-anime streaming service, featuring everything from classics like "Akira" and "Initial D" to original content of inconsistent quality. It's essentially the Netflix of anime. With over 50,000 movies and TV shows available according to Polygon, there's bound to be something for everybody in Crunchyroll's vast collection. Only a portion of this vast library will be available through Delta. Neither Delta nor Crunchyroll has announced exactly what feast of anime specials you'll be able to dine on at 35,000 feet, but Anime News Network says it will be a selection of 50,000 episodes from 2,000 titles. We'll find out more later this year. Read more: Save Your Engine: 5 Tips For Preventing And Cleaning Carbon Buildup Anime In The Air This partnership will bring anime to 169,000 seatback screens across Delta's fleet. If you connect your device to in-flight Wi-Fi, a 24-hour Crunchyroll trial will also be available. CNET says this option will only be available to SkyMiles members, while other sites report no such limitation. Either way, no membership is necessary to enjoy Crunchyroll on the in-flight entertainment system. Flying on Delta just became a whole lot more fun. It could be an opportunity to binge-watch "Wangan Midnight" to see if it's as good as everyone thinks it is. Perhaps you could solve the mystery of exactly which dual-sport motorcycle keeps popping up in everything from "Kill la Kill" to "Final Fantasy VII Remake." Or maybe you could see just how closely "éX-Driver" predicted the reality of driverless cars running amok. Whatever your preferences in the vast genre of anime, it will be great to pass the hours of your flight catching up with or rewatching some of your favorites. It sure beats in-flight gambling.
