Essential Checks To Avoid Last-Minute Chaos At Airport
1. Check Flight Status Regularly Before Coming To Airport
Monitor the flight on the official app or website at least 2448 hours before departure and again on the travel day.
2. Opt for SMS and App Alerts
Turn on notifications to get instant updates on delays, gate changes, or cancellations.
3. Reach the Airport Early
Aim for 2 to 3 hours early for domestic flights during disruption periods. However, avoid arriving unnecessarily early, as it may lead to overcrowding at the airport.
4. Know Refund and Rescheduling Rules
If the flight is cancelled or heavily delayed, you may be eligible for a refund or a free rebooking, depending on the timing of the cancellation.
5. Keep Digital Copies Handy
Save the passenger’s ID, ticket, and boarding pass on the phone for quicker processing. Also, keep the physical documents needed in such situations handy.
6. Pack Essentials In Handbag
It could be helpful if a power bank, medications, and snacks are packed in a handbag. This would come in use in case the traveller is stuck waiting for a longer period.
