Keep an eye on the weather: Just because it’s spring break doesn’t mean that you are safe from the perils of winter weather. According to Weather.com, the month of March has a notorious history of storms, including the Superstorm of 1993; the greatest Nor’easter of the 20th century, which took place on March 6-8, 1962; and the Blizzard of 1988, which brought 58 inches of snow to parts of New York, just to name a few. If bad weather is threatening the area where you live, monitor the status of your flight closely by signing up for text or email alerts from your airline. If your flight is scheduled to take off as scheduled, give yourself plenty of time to get to the airport. Also, be sure to check the weather before returning home to see if there is any activity that may affect your travel. Remember, bad weather that affects any major U.S. airport can cause a ripple effect of delays and cancellations throughout the country.
