How to Check to See If Your Flight Is Delayed
[/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1578469013387{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Checking to see if your flight has been delayed is an important thing to do before you get in the car to drive to the airport. Most airports update their websites with flight departure schedules, and there are some free apps that will help you find out if your flight is running on time.
You should be able to find this information before you start traveling to the airport, so you will be able to make new plans if your flight is canceled. Instead of feeling pressured at the airport, it’s easier to make arrangements in the comfort of your own home.[/vc_column_text][mk_divider][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_padding_divider][mk_image src=”https://www.creativetravelguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/what-to-do-when-a-flight-is-cancelled4.jpg” image_size=”full”][mk_padding_divider][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_fancy_title font_family=”none”]
The Fine Print on Airline Tickets
[/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1578469044992{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Something that everyone buying plane tickets online should understand is the importance of reading the fine print regarding their purchases. Many travel agencies do not take responsibility for canceled or delayed flights. However, many agencies do offer travel insurance to help cover costs of finding a new flight.
If you didn’t purchase travel insurance, you should still be able to get back your money from a cancelled flight. However, you will need to contact the card company that issued your payment.[/vc_column_text][mk_divider][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_padding_divider][mk_image src=”https://www.creativetravelguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/what-to-do-when-a-flight-is-cancelled1.jpg” image_size=”full”][mk_padding_divider][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_fancy_title font_family=”none”]
What to Do When Things Go Wrong With Your Flight
[/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1595299736522{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]The first thing to do is to contact the airline to see if they can assist you in finding another flight. When you speak to a representative, it’s important to remain calm; they didn’t cancel your flight, so don’t take out your anger on them. If they can’t help you, try speaking with the agency that made your reservation.
When your plan is settled, you might need to talk to your bank to get a reimbursement in the form of flight compensation.[/vc_column_text][mk_divider][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_fancy_title font_family=”none”]

Prepare for International Air Travel
[/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1578469163581{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Making preparations for international travel is different than what you must consider when taking a domestic flight. You must have a passport to travel to most of the countries outside of the United States, and you will need a visa in order to travel to some countries.
In addition to preparing legal documents, you must consider practical items of interest. Is the water in this country potable? How will you travel when you get there? You should become familiar with the customs of the country you are visiting, and be sure to know some of their language before getting on the plane.[/vc_column_text][mk_divider][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_fancy_title font_family=”none”]
