What To Do If You Need To Travel During Hurricane Sandy (Thanks To View From The Wing)

ByEdward Pizzarello

I had just started detailing a post on what to do if you were stuck traveling through the hurricane when I saw this post courtesy of View From The Wing.

If you scroll down past the electric stuff, you’ll find Gary has already put together all the re-accomodation policies for the major airlines as well as a few strategies for how to get through to your airline of choice.  I’ve got two suggestions to add to Gary’s wealth of info:

1.  Don’t forget about social media.  Some of the airlines are great at responding to tweets or via Facebook.  If you’re stuck on a long hold it’s worth a try.

2.  I’m also happy to help get someone connected to an elite line (generally shorter wait times) at either United or American by hopping on the phone with you.  Just e-mail me or send me a tweet at twitter.com/pizzainmotion.

Please be safe!

My goal in life is to fill my family’s passports with stamps, creating buckets of memories along the way. You’ll find me writing about realistic ways for normal people to travel the world, whether you’re on a budget or enjoy luxury. I also enjoy taking us on the occasional detour to explore the inner workings of the travel industry.
