Weathering the Storm

Thousands of flights all over the country were cancelled as storms clobbered the Northeast this week. If you are worried about a flight cancellation at any time, here are a few tips:

Sign up online for flight notifications by text or email. Check the status of your flight before you head to the airport. Load phone numbers for the airlines you travel on from this list at www.airlinenumbers.com.

If your trip is canceled while you are at the airport, get in line and on the phone to rebook. You can also try to get help on the airline’s Twitter account.
