Steps to Take for a Delayed Flight at Phoenix Airports
Getting the notification that your flight to or from the airport is delayed is a frustrating experience. What many travelers forget is how the delay will affect other accommodations. Here are some steps to take whenever you experience a delayed flight at Phoenix Airports.
Always Arrive Early to Airports for Take-Off
Before booking any flights, anticipate delays of all kinds. Choose a time that provides you at least a two-hour window to arrive at the airport before take-off. Expect to arrive even earlier during heavy travel season. This allows you to have adequate time to check in and get through security before boarding your flight. It also allows you to have time to prepare for any flight delays.
Opt-in to Receive Flight Details to Your Cell Phone via Text or Email
Get real-time notifications of any flight delays save you headaches when you arrive at the airport. Some flight delays occur after you are already at the airport. Be glad you’ve already gone through the hassles of going through security. Take this time to catch up on emails or calls you’ve been putting off. This will distract you and lower your stress levels.
What Happens to My Reservation if I Get a Notification Flight is Delayed for Take-Off?
If, by chance, you have travel and hotel accommodations for your anticipated arrival times, take the time to call anyone anticipating your arrival and alert them of your travel changes. When calling any airport transportation service to update them on your travel times, be prepared with the following:
- Your name
- Your contact number and/or email
- Type of airport service you reserved
- The airport the service will occur at
- Which airline you are using
- Your flight number
- Your new anticipated arrival time (if known)
As long as you have provided the flight number, we can track your flight and prepare to arrive at your new anticipated pickup time. This will not affect pricing for your reservation as long as you keep us updated. In the event your new arrival time conflicts with other appointments, we will let you know, so you can make timely reservation changes.
