Travel Log
Pity today's travelers: Airport closings due to wintry weather will likely clog traffic at airports around the country, even long after airports reopen. Even the rich and famous get as stuck as the lowly discount coach passenger, if that's any consolation.
What can you do, besides not much?
First off, screaming at the airline service personnel is not only unhelpful but can backfire, because an agent with 10 seats, 10 nice customers and a screamer might just find that those 10 seats would be best used for the nice customers.
If you're standing in an airport line, one thing you can do while waiting to see an agent is to call the airline you might be able to book something by phone while waiting. That means you're basically cutting the line, but being more savvy seems within ethical bounds to me. You might also want to think about flights to alternative airports; customers arriving from other cities, for example, who offer to fly into either Reagan, Dulles or BWI might be significantly increasing their options.
Another good strategy: Know your airline's policy about putting you on a different carrier if its flights are running late. Unfortunately, that often doesn't work well in a bad weather situation, because all the airlines are pretty much in the same boat.
FYI, at last report, both BWI and Reagan National are open for business, with delays,[url=http://www.holisteroutlet.cc]hollister femmes[/url], while Dulles is still working to clear its runways.
