Loading...Due to the fact that Hurricane Dorian is on its way to the Caribbean, travellers need to change their plans. Moreover, it is necessary to take into consideration the fact that it is most likely that the hurricabe will not become less intensed in the near future.
It is expected that Dorian will get stronger over the following 24 hours. The possibility of strong winds and rains hitting Florida these days is great. The wind is expected to be about at 115 mph off the east coast of Florida and Dorian’s Category is going to be 3.
Thus, Florida residents need to pay attention to the intensification of Dorian and make sure that their plans in case of hurricane are arranged.
And now as for options which travellers might have in case of the hurricane. If to speak in terms of travel insurance coverage, it will not work out as it is pretty late to do so. It will be ineligible for coverage as the storm in question has already been foreseen. Travel insurance terms are different in companies but mainly, there is no coverage in case a traveller does not buy travel insurance before 24 hours to the storm being named or even sooner.
Airlines will make up for cancelled flights. It is necessary for passengers to keep their finger on the pulse with changes in their flights. So, it is better to monitor airlines’ sites. As for American airlines:
There are change fees from Delta for travellers with flights on Aug. 29 to, from or through Port-au-Prince, Haiti; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Santiago de los Caballeros, Santo Domingo and Punta Cana, Dominican Republic; St. Lucia; and St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
And fees from American will be available for flights on Aug. 31 for certain areas in the Bahamas and Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos islands.
The alternative ways with no extra fees are suggested by Southwest to the following destinations Providenciales; Punta Cana; San Juan; Nassau, Bahamas and a lot of hubs in Florida.
