Hi

If you choose to travel by air in the wintertime, you may find yourself worrying about whether the plane will take off on time or, in some cases, at all. Maybe a storm is coming, or is snow on the way? This type of weather tends to have a big effect on air travel. Some of the low cost air carriers may actually cancel flights in winter due to lack of passengers. Always check your flight status before you leave for the airport, just to play it safe.

How about train travel though? Aren't there problems associated with it? If you are taking the train to your destination, you need not worry too much, as the rail lines in the United States and in most of Europe are quite well maintained and modern. Things like weather delays rarely happen in train travel. So, train travel tends to be an excellent choice for travel in winter. The disadvantages are that there really isn't much flexibility, there's few stops and you must be there at a specific time to board.

Thanks
Have a nice time ahead

Hello
The best and simplest way to be prepared is to assume the worst, and plan accordingly. What would it mean if a huge blizzard hit while you're at your destination? What would happen if they were calling for bad weather where you live at the time of your trip? Could you leave early to dodge the weather?

* Consider getting trip cancellation insurance, and also look closely at the rules to be sure your trip would be covered in a manner you're comfortable with in the case of weather or some other issue preventing your travels.
* Check cancellation policies closely. If you are taking a road trip, you could easily find a hotel room that could be canceled soon before the check-in date. Just hold off on buying attraction tickets, and halting your trip will be a breeze.
* Consider giving yourself some scheduling flexibility. For example, if you will have a week off from work you might plan a buffer day in the front and end of your trip to allow for leaving early to avoid bad weather, or stopping en route returning home if you hit a storm.

Winter Travel tips for winter--
* Be prepared. Before cold weather hits, make sure you have a way to heat your home during a power failure. Keep a multipurpose, dry-chemical fire extinguisher nearby when using alternative heating sources.
* Keep on hand extra blankets, flashlights with extra batteries, matches, a first aid kit, manual can opener, snow shovel and rock salt, and special needs items (e.g., diapers).
* Stock a few days' supply of water, required medications, and food that does not need to be refrigerated or cooked.
* Monitor the temperature of your home. Infants and persons over age 65 are especially susceptible to cold. If it's not possible to keep your home warm, stay with friends or family or in a shelter.
* Dress in several layers to maintain body heat. Covering up with blankets can also conserve heat.
