A
Plan to get to the airport at least an hour early, or two during holidays and other busy times;
this
will reduce
the
stress
of
the
flight.
If
all
goes
well,
you
will
have
time
to
relax,
shop
for
last-minute items, or have a meal before the flight.
Flight Delays
Find out why your flight is delayed. Call the free call numbers. Find out if other airlines are
experiencing similar delays. If you believe the delay is due to something other than weather or air
traffic problems, then mention your suspicion and ask the airline agent to book you on the next
available flight, either on the same air-line or a competing one. This is called "Rule 240", and all
airlines are required to do it.
Flight Cancellations
If
your
flight
is
canceled,
then
make
a
reservation
on
the
next
flight
to
your
destination.
Usually, air-line personnel(
职员
) will try to book everyone on their next flight. Often they will put
you on a competitor's next flight only if you request it.
If on-time arrival is important to you, when you check flights through our reservation system
you can rate your choices based on their on-time arrival records. Be sure to also check the weather
conditions, as they often affect flight schedules.
