Booking flights
- Always fly direct. You won't need to worry about making your next flight. If you can't avoid connecting, allow for at least three hours to avoid the stress of possibly missing your flight.
- Fly as early in the day as possible. The first flights of the day are rarely cancelled. If it is cancelled, there will be more options to rebook a different flight.
- Download the app of the airline you are flying. These apps share valuable information such as your incoming plane and when a flight is cancelled. It will guide you in rebooking a new flight if needed.
