Flight cancellations have stranded thousands of travelers in the busy holiday season. Here's what to do if it happens to you.
With COVID-19 cases surging, airlines are finding it difficult to keep flights from getting canceled this holiday season.during the busy holiday travel season has left thousands of passengers around the country stranded in airport lounges as they attempt to get back home.
Snyder said the most important thing for passengers to do is to be on top of their airline and flight status. The affected airlines have been updating their information to customers and airport agents as soon as they know a cancellation is coming, but if one is on top of their flight early, they have more time to figure out their next steps, Snyder said.
Keyes said some stranded passengers may have some success by calling the airline's international phone centers instead of the U.S. one.
