Alaska Airlines, Sea-Tac’s biggest carrier, canceled 47 flights Saturday and today to and from Seattle, Portland, Ore., and Vancouver, B.C. More cancellations or delays are possible, the airline said. Delta and United Airlines could also rescind some flights today, said Sea-Tac spokesman Perry Cooper.

Storms in other parts of the country delayed many flights arriving into Seattle Saturday. Most airlines are offering passengers the chance to rebook travel with no penalties, but with many planes flying nearly full in the next few days, it may be hard to find an open residence. The policies usually only apply to flights leaving in the nearest day or two.

Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air are allowing passengers scheduled to excursion out of Seattle, Spokane or Portland from one side today to reschedule from one side December 28. Call 800-252-7522.
