Travel Trouble Pt. 1: Flight Cancellation
We’ve experienced many types of travel trouble, but it never ceases to be annoying, no matter how prepared you are.
This week we’ve run into flight cancellations, effectively grounding us in Florida for while longer. So here’s what to do:
- Never lose your cool. Travel is like water - sometimes it flows, sometimes it falls, sometimes it sits still. Getting irritated is normal, but you gotta tough it out and roll with it the best you can.
- See if you can pull some perks. Any credit, voucher, refund, travel protection you can swing, get it. Sometimes it takes a quick call if you can’t get through via app.
- Make a plan. Get a hotel room one if you need one, and reorganize your travel plan, new flights, planes, trains, car trips. Maybe a little extra time isn’t so bad, and you can make the most of it.
- Set yourself up for success. This is where planning comes into play - make sure your work is at least somewhat mobile and available to you, and prioritize finding a stable place, internet connection to work.
- Get to it! You've got a place to be, a new itinerary, and a workaround. Stay focused and keep an eye out for any updates.
