The number of flight cancellations and delays are likely to steadily increase at our nation\u2019s busiest airports.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Federal Aviation Administration has ordered a reduction in air traffic due to the government shutdown.<\/p>\n
Forty of what the government calls \u201chigh-impact\u201d airports are affected.<\/p>\n
Albany, Buffalo, Syracuse and Rochester airports aren\u2019t included on that list, but it does have flights to and from airports that are. On Friday, the airports saw flights canceled and delayed.<\/p>\n
\u201cUltimately, this is all about safety and making sure the traveling public is safe,\u201d state Transportation Department Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez said.<\/p>\n
In the wake of the reductions, travel experts advise knowing your logistics.<\/p>\n
\u201cBe flexible and be patient, if you can,\u201d said Eric Stigberg, managing director of public affairs for AAA Northway. \u201cHave a plan B. Your flight\u2019s canceled? Can you make another flight? Can you drive instead?\u201d<\/p>\n
As far as resources, Stigberg said know what they are before you go to an airport.<\/p>\n
\u201cAAA always recommends that when you\u2019re flying, you download your airlines app,\u201d said Stigberg. \u201cThat\u2019s going to have a lot of information. Make sure notifications are turned on.\u201d<\/p>\n
Travel insurance is also recommended, whether it\u2019s the airline or you that has to cancel your plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The number of flight cancellations and delays are likely to steadily increase at our nation\u2019s busiest airports.\u00a0 The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":32652,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[3346,18803,3475,113,9,11,10,49,51,50,12,5304,87,115,200],"class_list":["post-32651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-air-travel","tag-app-air-travel","tag-app-latest-local-state-politics-stories","tag-buffalo","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-new-york-state","tag-new-york-state-headlines","tag-new-york-state-news","tag-news","tag-nicole-neuman","tag-politics","tag-rochester","tag-vod"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32651"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32651\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
