My question: New Jersey is pretty close to Washington DC, So why fly? Isn't land travel any fun at all? Doesn't the AMTRAK train go there from NYC or Philly? Airplanes are used way too much for transportation. Just earlier today a Brazilian airliner hit a gas staton and blew up killing more than 200 people.. I never use airplanes unless crossing a huge body of water, and even then I'd use a ship if they were available.. Land travel is INTERESTING, anyway, albeit always less convenient.

you can call your airline carrier and they have automated flight information that can be emailed to you, phoned to your home or cell phone. call your carrier. they will alert you of any changes asap. you can also go online and check the status of your flight by typing in your flight number at your airlines carrier website.

It may not be cancelled, but it could be severely delayed and put you up against a long frustrating day. I would also recommend Amtrak if it's not a financial burden to pay for another ticket. If you don't use your airline ticket you can have it reissued for another trip and pay an additional $25-$50 to do so. The time frame is usually within one year. A round trip from Newark, which is probably closest, is $190 and takes 3 hours. You can arrive 10-15 minutes before your train leaves, and print your internet reservations from a ticketing kiosk at the station. Also you'll arrive at Union Station in the heart of DC so you won't have to worry about getting into the city...
