Travel Specialists: Give yourself extra time to avoid airport delays

 SALT LAKE CITY - If you are looking forward to a long-awaited vacation this summer, or any trip, be prepared for a potential cancellation.

The country's airports were packed this past weekend. Tourism experts tell us to give ourselves more time and patience.



At U.S. airports on Sunday, hundreds of cancellations and delays intensified the chaos and frustration of passengers. Airport management and tourism officials expect the chaos in tourism to end soon. "This summer, it's wild. It's an unusual time to travel," said Doug Wren, who runs an international tourism business in Salt Lake City. Wren spent a few days in California before returning home on Sunday. He said the nature of the trip was obvious. "A high level of tension. You can feel it surpassing security and everything else," said the tourism company. Therefore, it is recommended that you give yourself more time, especially if you are not a regular traveler or have been traveling for some time. "Everything is timely," said Wren. Do you allow yourself enough time to travel to the airport? To get in? To get in safely? Was there enough time - when you connect - in the middle of your flight to be able to connect?" Flight crews remain low as the flight rate rises. That is a major cause of staffing and delays, according to Salt Lake International Airport spokeswoman Nancy Volmer. So, Volmer added, "We notice a lot of people moving. "It takes a long time for the aviation industry to get all its employees back to the levels they were in before the epidemic." Bad weather also complicates any problems. "When traveling this summer, make sure you allow plenty of time. For local flights, we always advise two hours in advance, and for international flights, three hours," Volmer said. Until you stop and do not check the bags if possible, Wren said. If you are going to a wedding, a cruise, a business meeting, or anything else you will not miss, the tour operator said, "You will not come that day. You should come yesterday, allow time for that." Even if you do take those precautions, you may still experience delays or cancellations. Wren recommends knowing what other airlines are available in the event that your own is canceled. "Know what your options are," he said. If you miss this flight, how many flights are scheduled for that day? How many other flights?" Plan ahead and expect problems. On Sunday, 27,000 passengers entered through the front door at Salt Lake City International Airport, which is comparable to the commemoration of Memorial Day weekend and pre-epidemic rates.
