I'm not sure, but chances aren't likely. Most likely is probably you'll get transferred to another flight, or you'll get a refund. BTW, isn't Ike still in the Caribbean? It shouldn't cancel you flight in Dallas if it's still in the Caribbean. Hope this helped! Jerry C.

It shouldn't cancel you flight in Dallas if it's still in the Caribbean. Ike is by Cuba at the moment, but it should be the weekend visitor here in Texas this weekend

Unfortunately, airlines tend to wait until the last minute to cancel or change flights. I'm afraid, based on current projections, a Dallas flight on Sunday might very well be affected. It's up to you to decide if you want to deal with flight delays or if you are willing to pay for the guarantee (if such a thing exists) that you won't have one.

Flights into Dallas will not be cancelled due to Ike. It's a long way from the coast. There might be problems with flights to or from Florida, but Dallas will not be affected.
5 :
It all just depends on how bad Ike is when it hits and how much it dies off by the time it reaches Dallas... Also realize that one delayed or canceled flight affects the whole entire nation. For instance if the plane you are supposed to be on comes from Houston and Houston has closed their airports, your flight will most likely be canceled as well because most airlines don't have the fleet numbers to have extra planes just lying around at every airport. and their may be delays because Dallas will most likely be taking planes from airports along the coast and holding people. If you need to get somewhere by a certain date, be prepared to make other travel arrangements just in case (bus, rental car, etc). Dallas won't know if they close until the last minute. FAA makes the call and it all depends on wind. Planes can land and take off in rain and lightening (granted I wouldn't want to be in a big metal object during a lightening storm) but if the winds are too bad planes can't take off or land, its not safe. And Dallas could very well have very high winds and even tornadoes spun off from Ike. As for the above poster not understanding how it can be a tropical storm by the time it reaches Dallas, in 2005 when Rita came through it was expected to be a Hurricane 3 or 4 when it hit Dallas, and there have also been incidents of category 2 hurricanes hitting Dallas from the Coast. It all depends and the strength of the hurricane when it hits land and how much it slows down. Winds could very well affect flights, and like I stated earlier, remember it takes one delayed or canceled flight to affect the rest of the thousands of flights. So if anywhere along the coast has issues, chances are the rest of the nation will have delays or cancellations as well... this could especially affect Southwest, Continental, and American since they all have hubs in the Texas area. (Southwest and Continental particularly because both of their hubs are in Houston.)
