Hurricane Idalia disrupts air travel as hundreds of flights are canceled

THAT IS FOR SURE. THAT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S RIGHT, DEBORAH. THE TAMPA AND SARASOTA AIRPORTS ARE JUST TWO OF THE AIRPORTS THAT ARE ALREADY CLOSED AHEAD OF THE STORM. SO, OF COURSE, ANY FLIGHTS GOING IN OR OUT OF THERE FROM BWI ARE ALREADY CANCELED. NOW, THERE바카라 게임 웹사이트�S NO WORD ON WHEN THE TAMPA AIRPORT WILL REOPEN, IAN, AND WHEN IT WOULD BE SAFE TO TRAVEL THERE AGAIN. TRAVEL IS BACK. THERE바카라 게임 웹사이트�S NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. BUT HURRICANE IDALIA COULD PUT A BIG SNAG IN TRAVEL PLANS, ESPECIALLY IF THEY INCLUDE THE WEST COAST OF FLORIDA. THE AIRLINES AND THE CRUISES ARE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY MONITOR THE WEATHER TO MAKE SURE THAT NOBODY바카라 게임 웹사이트�S PUT IN ANY HARM바카라 게임 웹사이트�S WAY. DILWORTH DALY, A TRAVEL ADVISOR WITH DAILY바카라 게임 웹사이트�S DESTINATIONS, SAYS IF THE CRUISE LINE ITSELF CANCELS THE VOYAGE YOU바카라 게임 웹사이트�VE ALREADY PAID FOR, YOU바카라 게임 웹사이트�LL GET YOUR MONEY BACK. BUT THAT DEPENDS ON WHEN AND WHERE THE CRUISE IS SCHEDULED TO SAIL FOR YOUR FLIGHT TO GET THERE. EVERY AIRLINE HAS THEIR OWN POLICIES FOR CANCELLATIONS. IF IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S AN ACT OF NATURE OR AN ACT OF MOTHER NATURE, AS THEY SAY, AS GOD, IT JUST REALLY DEPENDS ON THE AIRLINE. THEY MAY GIVE A CREDIT. THEY MAY SAY YOU HAVE A TIME THAT YOU CAN MAKE CHANGES, BUT THERE바카라 게임 웹사이트�S SOMEWHAT OF A FLEXIBILITY WITH THAT. BUT IT REALLY DEPENDS ON THE AIRLINE. DALY SAYS THE BEST WAY TO PROTECT THE MONEY YOU INVEST IN A TRIP IS WHEN YOU바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE BOOKING YOUR TRIP TO GET TRIP INSURANCE. THAT ALLOWS YOU TO CANCEL FOR ANY REASON, EVEN AFTER THE HURRICANE HITS. WITH HIGH WINDS AND POTENTIAL FLOODING, A HOTEL MIGHT BE CLOSED. OBVIOUSLY, IF A TOWN IS SHUT DOWN OR A DESTINATION IS SHUT DOWN, IT CAN CERTAINLY AFFECT TRAVEL, NOT JUST FOR THAT TIME FRAME, BUT FOR A LONGER TIME FRAME. IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S BEST TO CHECK WITH YOUR OWN CRUISE LINE OR AIRLINE FOR THEIR OWN POLICIES. ON WHETHER RELATED TRAVEL INCIDENTS.
