How to avoid delays. Here are some tips for your summer travel:


How To Compensate For Your Delayed U.S. Flights

Book the earliest flight in the day so you are not waiting for the aircraft to arrive from another destination. 

Try your best to avoid layovers and book nonstop flights even if the airfare is a tad more expensive.

Choose an airline that has multiple flights the day of your flight and if your flight does get booked, the airline will rebook you on their next flight at no charge. 

Look at alternate routes to get to your final destination, For example, if your flight into San Francisco (SFO) gets canceled, look at flights flying into Oakland, or other airports in the Bay Area.
