It is now September, and before you know it,
the autumn season will be upon us. For those who live up north, this means
saying goodbye to sunny warm weather and hello to severe weather and snow. Traveling
out of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport [MSP] during the colder
months of the year can be challenging. Read on for tips on how to navigate travel
during inclement weather.
v When
you arrive at the airport, park your car
offsite with Team Parking
and rest assured that we will take care of it during the cold months.
v Get forecasts before you leave
the house. Check your destination and departure cities. If something looks
amiss or if there is already flight delays for impending foul weather, call the
airline to check the status of your flight.
v The
weather at your departure and destination cities looks perfect but it is the connecting
city that is experiencing unpleasant conditions? See if you can reroute the connection to an airport
with no delays.
v Do
not stray too far from your gate if you are already at
the airport. Gate attendants often make important announcements in the event of
a flight delay or cancellation including, but not limited to, information on
flight status, alternative flight options, hotel offers etc. These are
announcements you will want to hear.
v If
you end up needing to make alternate arrangements, use your airline’s 1-800 numbers. This will be much quicker and
less stressful than standing in line at the kiosk at the airport with the 85
other people who need to reroute as well.
