How to Cope With Flight Delays & Cancellations

Video Transcript

"Hello everyone I'm Russ Handler and I just love to travel. But one thing that I've run into in my traveling life and career is travel delays. Did you know that during the winter season, depending on the weather either here or in Europe, that they can be quite substantial? I want to give you a couple tips to help you through the doldrums of travel delays while at the airport, the bus station or where ever you may be. First of all don't let it get you down. Use it as an opportunity to regenerate yourself from the vacation you just had or use it as an opportunity to look forward to the vacation you just had. Don't stress out. It does not matter if you could sing and dance all you want. And in some cases it's going to do nothing but aggravate you. So I suggest that you bring a good book with you. Plenty of toys or other small items for the children to play with. But my best advice again, dealing with travel delays is almost inevitable in some cases and cannot be helped. Certainly ask for an upgrade. Certainly ask for whatever their traveling partners can give you but on the other hand do so politely and use it as an opportunity to reflect on yourself and the fact that you are either coming back from a wonderful vacation or on your way to one. Don't stress out. That's the best advice I could give you. I'm Russ Handler. That's how you do it."
