Julia Lo Bue-Said, CEO of Advantage Travel Partnership, highlighted the potential for flight delays, cancellations, and airport congestion, urging travellers to stay informed and prepared.
The storm has already led to the cancellation of thousands of flights, and travellers are encouraged to monitor updates from airlines and airports closely. Lo Bue-Said emphasised the importance of allowing extra time for journeys and having contingency plans in place. She also warned of the extreme cold conditions, advising travellers to equip themselves with suitable clothing and essentials to ensure safety.
Lo Bue-Said recommended that travellers maintain regular contact with their travel agents, who can provide the latest information and support if plans need to change. "Travel agents are best equipped to support when plans are forced to change at a moment’s notice," she stated, advocating for booking through agents to access their expertise and guidance.
Advantage Travel Partnership, the UK's leading network of travel businesses, continues to support its members with innovative solutions and global reach, ensuring seamless travel experiences despite the challenges posed by the storm. As the situation unfolds, travellers are urged to remain vigilant and adaptable to minimise disruptions to their plans.
