Beware of Cancelled Flights
Airlines—especially the older large ones like American—are currently canceling many flights due to high fuel costs.
Reconfirm your flight times two or three days prior to traveling, just in case you your airline has not been able to reach you about a change.
It’s far better to handle this type of situation now, instead of waiting until you are at the airport, when your options may be very limited.
If your airline has voluntarily transferred you (e.g., due to high fuel costs) to significantly less convenient flights, Department of Transportation regulations say you may be owed a refund even if you have a nonrefundable ticket.
We also urge you to reconfirm flights on the day of travel prior to going to the airport. You can easily do this via a link from most airline homepages. (For a list of websites, see BidonTravel's airline phonelist.)
