Travel Support
Your Chapter Coach is your first point of contact if you experience travel delays. Your Coach has or will text and email you with their primary contact information. If you experience problems while traveling, please immediately give them a call. We will work with you to ensure your safe arrival. In anticipation of travel delays, you may want to keep all essentials (e.g., medications, toiletries, travel documents, etc...) in your carry-on, along with a couple snack bars. If you do not know who your Coach is or are having difficulty contacting them, please reach out to Director of Chapter Support & Wellness, Jessie Ashton at (949) 689-8793 with your name and chapter.

Flight Conflicts: Canceled, Delayed, or Stuck in connecting city.

Notify your Chapter Coach.
Be prepared to multitask.
Whether you are dealing with an agent in person or over the phone, how you approach things can make a difference. Positive and calm approach is key.
First come, first served. Be attentive to flight status on the way to the airport. Tackling the problem in advance can make a difference, especially when multiple people from the same flight need accommodations. Downloading the apps for your airline can be helpful in watching this. Additionally, many airlines do text alerts if you sign up.
Ask airline personnel the reason for the delayed or canceled flight.
1. Understanding the situation can you give context of what you can do in the situation based on airline terms & policy
Call Airline customer service or Reservations support (see chart below).
Check Airline app for alternative flights (view options while waiting in line, or when on hold)
1. Option 1: check “change flight/Alternative flights” under boarding pass page
2. Option 2: Look for flights to your destination in search page.

What to do if you cannot fly out until the next day and you are not in your home city?

Notify your Chapter Coach
Ask the airline to cover for hotel room or give you a hotel voucher. They might do it; they might not. They are less likely to accommodate for weather-related delays than if the problem is a mechanical issue with the plane or staffing issues. Ask and advocate for yourself—be kind and gracious—that helps.
What you might get depends on the airline itself and the specific circumstances on why a flight was canceled. Never hurts to ask.
Remember that you are not in this alone. Office of Administration team will help to take care of you.
