Experiencing an
airport delay might happen to anyone. There are various of reasons why a
flight may not take place at the scheduled time. It could be a
technical or a security issue, a weather problem and others. Though
they do not happen every time, you should also anticipate and think of
alternatives. Apart from that, you should also know your rights,
especially if you are a regular passenger. Below are some tips to help
you in coping with airport delays.
Reservations.
When making a hotel reservation, make sure that you are aware of the
cancellation policies. You need this if in case you do not make it on
time due to your delayed or cancelled flight. It is better if your
hotel does not require advance payment.
Weather.
This is one of the most common causes of delayed flights. You should be
aware and know the weather conditions. In doing so, you will be able
to determine whether you need to so some sorts of adjustments.
Web site.
Even before your flight, see to it that you are checking your airline's
website once in a while. Most airline companies post updates, alerts
and information through their website.
Call. The
best way to confirm whether there will be an issue regarding your
flight is to call the airline prior to your flight. Most airlines do not
proactively call passengers to inform about an issue since as much as
possible, they would like to have their passengers to show up during
their scheduled flight.
Alternatives.
Save contact numbers on your phone. This includes the phone numbers
of airline companies, hotels and other reservation sites. Familiarize
yourself with the sites of airline companies and check in advance which
companies provide the best flights. That would be useful if in case you
need to resort to a different option.
