Prepare for This Weekend's Snowstorm with Your Airline's Information

February 5, 2010 at 4:20 PM | by | Comment (1)

The picture above is what New York looked like less than two months ago after a snowstorm dumped just around 8 inches on the city. We took that photo ourselves, and we'll probably have another just like it later this weekend, as the east cost prepares for another snowstorm, with up to 8 inches expected in NYC. But it'll be much, much worse for Washington DC, which is expecting 18-26 inches of snow.

As usual, airlines are covering their bums in preparation for the storm by preemptively canceling flights and issuing waivers to travelers. For instance, United is offering waivers for those traveling to, from, and even through Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Virginia through Sunday.

Be sure to check with your airline (and follow their twitter, if you're on twitter) before heading out to the airport this weekend, and here are a few airline pages with more information, thanks to the Washington Post:

· Southwest: a website and Twitter.
· American Airlines: a website and Twitter
· Continental: a website and Twitter
· Delta: a website and Twitter
· JetBlue: a website and Twitter
· United: a website and Twitter
· US Airways: a website and Twitter

Even Greyhound Bus Lines twittered that they're worried about the snow. Might be wise to follow your bus lines too, if you're hitting the road.

Weather changes and even with the very best instruments, it's subject to many unpredictable things that occur when we least expect it. It would be very foolish indeed to try to fly an aircraft in the direction of gale-force winds. Not even the very best pilots can do that and neither should you. To manage medical debt is not a fun task. Thus, it's wise to follow these advices to avoid fortuitous events.
