Holiday Travel: Coping with Planes, Trains, and a Hurricane

by Carolyn W. Paddock

Traveling can always be a volatile proposition, but with the holiday weekend approaching and hurricane Earl churning up the east coast– checking on your flight staus before heading out to the airport is a necessity.

Your flight can still be impacted – even if you are nowhere near a troubled area. This is the travel ripple effect that can send shockwaves through the most well-planned trip. When a flight is cancelled, it doesn’t just impact the first destination, it cancels every subsequent flight that plane was to make throughout the day.

So what can you do? At this point, gathering information is critical and the In-Flight Insider has some valuable tips that can help you salvage your trip before it breaks down:

  1. Be proactive – with the looming hurricane make sure to have alternative travel plans.
  2. Schedule flights early in the day, so even if there are cancellations, you have more flight options to choose from.
  3. Be prepared to stay longer than your trip lasts - Take extra clothes, extra medication and other necessities. And if you check your bags, keep essential items (such as your medication) in a bag with you onboard.
  4. Know what is and what is not covered with your travel insurance in case your flights are canceled.

Following these simple steps and staying well informed can transform a nightmare travel scenario into a successful trip where you know your options and strategies beforehand.
