Flight Interruptions
Episode Notes
A note from Stephanie...
Living in a smaller city means utilizing the airport services from my regional airport.
There are pros and cons to flying from anywhere other than a "hub", but over the years frequent travellers have learned some tricks and tips on dealing with potential delays, cancellations and other interruptions.
I had the chance to chat with J.M. Chenier - Director of Marketing and Airport Development with the Sudbury Airport - to get the airport's view on what works best for keeping travel plans on schedule.

Travel Tips from Stacy!
"My only tips on that would be book with a travel agent and then they deal with the issue of flight rebooking for you etc. Also I always recommend that all my clients buy “trip cancellation insurance for no reason” on all trips so it covers you your full amount of trip or flight. Invest in protecting your vacation because it is an investment so insure it like we insure any investment.."
