Tropical Storm Nicole (which is forecast to become a hurricane later today) is set to make landfall along Florida’s east coast overnight, and it’s already causing headaches at airports in the state.

By 5 p.m. ET on Wednesday, more than 950 U.S. flights had been canceled, according to flight tracking website FlightAware, with hundreds of those scheduled to depart or arrive from Orlando International Airport. 

The National Hurricane Center expects Nicole to move northwest across Florida on Thursday, before turning north and losing strength over Georgia and the Carolinas on Friday.

Air travelers headed to or from Florida and the southeast over the next few days should keep an eye on their flight status, and remember that they’re entitled to a full refund, even on nonrefundable tickets, if the airline cancels their flight. 

Know your rights: What you’re owed when your flight is canceled, delayed

What am I entitled to if an airline cancels my flight?

If an airline cancels your flight, you’re entitled to a full refund even if you purchased a nonrefundable ticket. The Department of Transportation recently introduced a dashboard that outlines what major airlines offer passengers in the event of a delay or cancellation. 

In general, experts also recommend purchasing travel insurance for every trip, which can help you recoup some costs if something goes wrong. 

Are Florida airports open? 

Orlando International Airport (MCO), Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) and Melbourne Orlando International Airport (MLB) are all closed to commercial flights until further notice, according to the airports’ websites and social media accounts.

Change of plans: Tropical Storm Nicole disrupts major cruise line itineraries

Other airports in the state, including Miami (MIA), Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and Tampa (TPA) said they are monitoring the situation and advised passengers to check with their airline for the most up-to-date information.
