As we are seeing more and more travel disruptions, here are a few tips:
✅️Purchase travel insurance especially if you are traveling internationally. While you may be entitled to a refund for your flight, hotels and cruise lines are not required to refund for a missed or delayed flight. Not all travel insurance is the same, so make you select a policy that fits your travel needs.
✅️Have a credit card dedicated to travel expenses, even better if the card has travel insurance benefits. This card should always have credit available during travel just in case you have to purchase new flights, extend your hotel stay, or seek medical treatment. Even with travel insurance, you may have to pay first and submit a claim for reimbursement.
✅️Pack medicine, a change of clothes, and at least basic hygiene products in your carry on bag in the event your flight is delayed or your checked bag is delayed/lost.
Delays and cancellations are a pain, do what you can to be prepared.
