Tips for Canceled Flights |
With all the canceled flights hitting travelers this week due to increased security inspections, I thought it would be a good time to highlight some past posts I've written about handling unexpected flight cancellations:
Call Airline, Then Stand in Line
Passenger Strategies for Canceled Flights
At the end of the day, there is no magic solution when a flight suddenly gets canceled. Whenever I'm stuck in that situation, I have a three-pronged attack:
1. First, I call the airline immediately with my re-booking request
2. While still on the phone, I hustle to the customer service/re-booking desk
3. Lastly, I embrace distraction. They won't get you on the next flight, but a traveler should never underestimate the soothing power of some trashy magazines, a laptop, airport nachos and - let's get real here - draaanks in the terminal's watering hole.
