Travel delays are happening more often than ever—weather disruptions, airline staffing shortages, and even government shutdown impacts can all throw off your travel plans.
A government shutdown can mean longer airport lines, reduced staffing, and delays or slowdowns with programs like TSA PreCheck and Global Entry—especially for approvals, renewals, and support.
If you’re traveling soon, here are a few smart ways to stay ahead of flight delays:
• Give yourself extra time at the airport (especially during peak hours)
• Download your airline app and enable notifications for real-time gate and delay updates
• Pack patience—security and customer service lines may be longer than usual
• Consider travel insurance for added peace of mind if plans change
Cruising? I strongly recommend arriving at your departure port city at least one day before your cruise leaves.
A little preparation goes a long way toward keeping your trip smooth and stress-free. Need help navigating your itinerary, backups, or travel protection options? I’ve got you covered.
