More accurately, she hobbled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Coddling an injured foot, the frequent traveler rushed across American Airlines\u2019 busy terminal in Charlotte, North Carolina, only to find\u2014as she had expected\u2014that the door to her connecting flight home had shut.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Then, something of a business traveler\u2019s miracle happened.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When Rebanal told the gate agent that her first flight had been sitting on the runway for an hour, waiting for a gate, he said he\u2019d try to help and disappeared onto the Jetway.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Rebanal watched through the window as the agent leaned off the end of the bridge and knocked on the cockpit window.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThe pilot looked into the terminal and saw me. I was waving, and I said, \u2018Please!\u2019 He gave me a thumbs-up!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">To Rebanal\u2019s amazement, the plane reattached to the Jetway. The door reopened. While all this happened, a dozen other delayed passengers\u2014including an unaccompanied minor\u2014joined her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Rebanal learned an important truth that helps her through her life of frequent work travel as vice president of social enterprise and community capital for the nonprofit Ecotrust in Portland, Oregon: there is always a chance that you might make that plane, so you might as well run for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Also, it never hurts to ask for help. Sometimes, employees can bend the rules to help you out of a jam. \u201cI try to approach all these travel hiccups with that hope for humanity and the understanding that I\u2019m dealing with a human,\u201d Rebanal says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Experts share other ways\u2014in addition to having faith in humanity\u2014to deal with the inevitable bumps in the road while traveling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">BUMP: your flight doesn\u2019t fly when it should<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When a miracle doesn\u2019t happen and you miss that connection\u2014or if the airline cancels your flight\u2014the airline must rebook you. But the options agents offer may not be what works best for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When approaching the airline, you want to go in as informed as they are, advises Victoria Walker, senior content contributor for the website UpgradedPoints.com. That means knowing not only what the next flights to your destination are but also that the airline may be willing to put you on a different carrier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cOnce, I was flying from Chicago to Cedar Rapids on United, and it got canceled. They rebooked me on American,\u201d Walker says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If the airline won\u2019t put you on another carrier, you can always take matters into your own hands and buy a ticket, then ask your employer for reimbursement. In that case, travel<br \/>advisor Dr. Terika Haynes suggests that you leave no stone unturned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cPeople forget about the smaller airlines, like Allegiant. They don\u2019t always come up in searches,\u201d says Haynes, founder of the travel agent firm Dynamite Travel. Those smaller carriers, as well as budget carriers, sometimes have departures later in the evening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Travel experts also advise looking beyond the airport where you\u2019re stuck to nearby airports, rail stations, and even rental cars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Liz Sturrock, chief of Multiple Listing Service and innovation for the Miami Association of Realtors, recalls when she was stranded in Philadelphia by multiple cancellations. She really needed to be in Albany, New York, the next morning for work. In the airline lounge, she met a woman in the same pickle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The pair ended up splitting a rental car and driving the four hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI paid for the car. She paid for the gas. I dropped her off, dropped the car off at the airport, and took a taxi to my hotel,\u201d Sturrock recalls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">BUMP: your hotel has no room for you<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Did you know that, not infrequently, guests with reservations arrive at hotels only to learn that they\u2019re being shuffled off to a different hotel?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe\u2019re talking about valid reservations that you have a confirmation number for,\u201d Walker says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\u2019s called getting \u201cwalked,\u201d and it\u2019s not fun, especially if you arrive at night or if the hotel\u2019s location or amenities are important for your work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The best solution for this problem is to avoid it to begin with, Walker says. Do a little research, looking for clues that the hotel you\u2019re about to book will be crowded during your stay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI always look to see if there are any big conferences happening there because [attendees] are going to take first priority, followed by people with elite status,\u201d Walker says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Who will get the last priority?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cTypically, people who book with OTAs [online travel agencies] are walked first,\u201d Haynes warns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">To avoid getting walked, book directly with the property and stick to chains where you have status in the hotel\u2019s loyalty program. But if you do get walked, it doesn\u2019t hurt to ask the hotel what they can do to make it up to you. And if you have business at the hotel you booked, ask if there\u2019s a shuttle from the other property.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">BUMP: you made it to your destination, but your baggage didn\u2019t<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sturrock was in Florida one fall day when she found out about a meltdown at Chicago\u2019s O\u2019Hare airport that would prevent her from flying home on schedule. Fine\u2014the seasoned road warrior went ahead and booked a new flight directly to her next gig, a speaking engagement in Syracuse, New York.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">She had only two problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cOne, I didn\u2019t bring enough prescriptions with me,\u201d she says. \u201cThat\u2019s a mistake I\u2019ll never make again. Two, I had Florida clothes. I did not have fall in New York clothes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">What Sturrock did have was her cell phone and a little time before takeoff. During those minutes, she managed to arrange for a smooth arrival, hitting an online shop for \u201ca little black dress and a pair of shooties with heels\u201d for store pickup and setting up a prescription refill at a pharmacy near her hotel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">To stay flexible on the go, keeping your phone alive is key, Sturrock advises. \u201cKeep your chargers close\u2014or have a battery pack.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Rebanal has also had a wardrobe malfunction or two on the road. Once, on the way to a conference, the only pair of shoes she could find at the airport were water shoes. She chose a black pair that she hoped could pass for dress flats\u2014and wore them through five receptions and 15 meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In the all-too-frequent case that the airline loses track of your bags, you can use a luggage tracking service. Haynes provides clients with a membership service that will track down their bags and deliver them to their lodging. The traveler makes the report and gets the claim code at the airport, then the service takes over from there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">BUMP: your passport might not pass muster<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Walker meant to renew her passport before that wedding in Mexico. She really did. But before she knew it, she was a week from departure\u2014with no valid travel document.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The good news, Walker learned: \u201cIt is possible to get a passport within 12 hours.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The bad news: \u201cYou\u2019re going to pay a lot of money to do it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Walker ended up paying $650 to an expediting service for a new passport in three days. She could have scheduled an\u00a0<span class=\"s2\">\u201curgent travel\u201d <\/span><span class=\"s2\">appointment<\/span>\u00a0directly with the US Department of State at a lower cost. But Walker felt more comfortable going the third-party route.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For Rebanal, the passport problem befell one of her traveling companions: Her brother, in his 20s at the time, presented a passport at the Salzburg, Austria, airport that looked \u201clike he might have dropped it in the toilet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cYou couldn\u2019t really make out the signature. The paper was kind of starting to disintegrate,\u201d she recalls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Her brother almost missed the extended family\u2019s flight, but authorities let him through at the last minute. \u201cHe just had to be interrogated for a little bit.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Another common snag is finding out that your passport doesn\u2019t have enough validity to meet the requirements of the countries you\u2019re visiting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cA lot of countries do require at least six months\u2019 validity. So even if your passport isn\u2019t expired, not having that six months essentially means your passport is expired, in the eyes of that country,\u201d Walker warns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Many heartbroken travelers in this situation have had to reschedule their flights and head to an expediting office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The best medicine in this case is prevention, Walker says. Now, she makes sure to start the renewal process about a year before her passport expires.\u00a0<em><strong>EW<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>EXTRA!<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Snafu Safety Nets<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You may not\u00a0be able to predict what bump you\u2019ll hit next, but you can be almost certain that you won\u2019t travel trouble-free for your entire career. Following a few travel tips can help you hit the ground running:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Book trips through a travel rewards credit card. The best credit cards cover delayed luggage (you can charge replacement purchases and file for reimbursement), primary rental car accident coverage, and trip interruption or cancellation coverage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Know your rights. In the United States,\u00a0<span class=\"s2\">airlines are required to automatically <\/span><span class=\"s2\">refund<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> passengers<\/span>\u00a0whose flights are canceled or significantly changed. In Europe, airlines are required to\u00a0<span class=\"s2\">compensate<\/span>passengers up to \u20ac600.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Work your phone to get as much information as possible. Whether you\u2019re studying the terminal map while waiting for the plane to unload or researching alternate routes around a blizzard, the more you know, the farther you\u2019ll go.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">\u2014Carrie Kirby blogs about travel at T<span class=\"s2\">hemilesm<\/span><span class=\"s2\">o<\/span><span class=\"s2\">m.com<\/span>, and writes about travel, personal finance, and technology for many publications.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>17 Feb Travel Snafu or Two?
