A6 #TravelSkills If in Europe, there are laws to protect you from delays. In the US, most carriers have a passenger “bill of rights”. Know it and have a copy of it. Mostly, you have to be patient. Don’t take it out on the clerk.

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A6: Remember what you can and cannot control. Keep a level head and treat everyone with kindness! The customer service reps, flight attendants, and other employees are often just as stressed out as you are. A smile goes a long way. After all, it’s the holidays! 😊 #travelskills

A6: Being prepared with alternate plans is key. We had 10 flight delays and a flight change on our first of 3 legs to #Antarctica and it was extremely stressful due to storms in Dallas. Use the airline app to track the flight’s location #TravelSkills #traveltips
