Maybe it has to do with assessing culpability. Unlike a mechanical issue, which is on the airlines, there\u2019s simply no one to blame and your rights are few and far between. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>You can\u2019t beat a storm, but you can prepare.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>If a delay or cancellation is due to bad weather, you can\u2019t insist on flying on another airline. The airline doesn\u2019t have to provide a hotel room. Heck, they don\u2019t even have to spring for an $8 voucher that will barely buy you coffee and a muffin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Thanksgiving coming up and storms heading up the east coast and toward the midwest, you need to prepare for this year to be as ugly as ever. Planes are flying full and reallocating customers from even a few flights is difficult. If you lose a full day of flights, those passengers may never leave the airport and Thanksgiving dinner could come from Hudson News.<strong>*<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can\u2019t beat a storm, but you can prepare. <strong>Here are a few tips that you may not have already thought about.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Before You Go to The Airport<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"589\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Thankgiving-travel-airport-delay-weather-rain-storm-1024x589.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Thankgiving-travel-airport-delay-weather-rain-storm-1024x589.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Thankgiving-travel-airport-delay-weather-rain-storm-300x173.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Thankgiving-travel-airport-delay-weather-rain-storm-768x442.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Thankgiving-travel-airport-delay-weather-rain-storm.png 1244w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Trying to go from this&#8230; | Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/5Mh8iz9vqpY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Program the airline\u2019s phone number into your phone.<\/strong> The last thing that you want to do is get a text in the middle of the day that your flight is cancelled and not be able to find a phone number. Feel free to request a customer service rep who speaks Spanish, since the wait there might be shorter (They&#8217;ll speak English, also.). Most automated services run on voice commands now. Also, if the airline offers a call-back when it is your turn to speak to a representative, take advantage of it. Those systems actually seem to work.<strong>**<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Find an alternative flight. <\/strong>There are probably several ways to get to your destination, on your own carrier or on somebody else. If you\u2019re on a low-cost carrier, they probably won\u2019t pay for you to fly on somebody else, but many of the major carriers will do so, even if they aren&#8217;t required to. When I had issues on Delta last year, they offered me a seat on United if my flight was cancelled. True, the airline representative can look for you, as well, but if you\u2019ve already done the research, you can offer the suggestions that work best for you.<\/li><li><strong>Get seat assignments. <\/strong>I\u2019m shocked at how many people go to the airport without seat assignments. Yes, it may cost you a few bucks to pick particular seats, but that\u2019s okay. If an airline is overbooked, it\u2019s a lot easier to bump somebody who doesn\u2019t have a seat assignment than one who does.<\/li><li><strong>Make sure to pack plenty of snacks for your kids.<\/strong> Here\u2019s how we do it: We try and determine the maximum amount of food that our children can go through on the flight. Then we double it. Then we double it again. Then we triple it. Then we double it again. That\u2019s usually good enough to get us through the first hour.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>At The Airport<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Assuming that you are unable to get your ticket issues fixed ahead of time\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>When there is bad weather, the lines will likely be long at the ticket counter, so use an automated kiosk if you can. The airline will likely have an employee or two wandering around the lobby to help people on the self-service stations to keep lines shorter.<\/li><li>Membership counts. If you are an elite member, you\u2019ll have access to a special line. Make sure to use it. If you have TSA pre-check, you\u2019ll speed through security. And if you&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"have airline lounge access (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/travel\/beginners-guide-to-airport-lounges\/\" target=\"_blank\">have airline lounge access<\/a>, through a membership, elite status or credit card, you\u2019re really in luck.<\/li><li>If you don\u2019t have lounge access, it may be worth your time to buy a day pass (if the airline sells them). The <a title=\"LoungeReview, the premier worldwide airport lounge guide\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"nofollow\"  href=\"https:\/\/loungereview.com\">airport lounges<\/a> have the most experienced agents at the airport and, with only a few exceptions (I\u2019m looking at you, Delta SkyClub at La Guardia), I\u2019ve always received fantastic service. You certainly don\u2019t have to buy a pass for the entire family. One person can go in and handle everyone\u2019s tickets.<\/li><li>Don\u2019t be \u201cthat guy.\u201d Really, I promise, the airline gate agent did not cause the weather delay. This is definitely a case where you attract more flies with honey.<\/li><li>Stay near your gate. Just because the airline announced a three-hour delay doesn\u2019t mean that they won\u2019t get a slot in fifteen minutes. If you went out for lunch because you thought your noon flight was delayed to 3pm, you\u2019ll be eating your burger when you miss your flight at 12:15. There\u2019s a reason that they refer to \u201cestimated departure times. Does your entire family have to sit there for the entire delay? Of course not. Just be aware.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>On The Airplane<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Thankgiving-travel-airport-delay-weather-rain-storm-rainbow-1024x512.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Thankgiving-travel-airport-delay-weather-rain-storm-rainbow-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Thankgiving-travel-airport-delay-weather-rain-storm-rainbow-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Thankgiving-travel-airport-delay-weather-rain-storm-rainbow-768x384.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>&#8230;to this. | Photo Credit: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Unsplash (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/t_ZdxJsE8iM\" target=\"_blank\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Here\u2019s where it can get really frustrating.
