All flights to Haiti have been canceled: What to do if you already had tickets?
Introduction
In the wake of the recent political unrest in Haiti, all flights to the country have been canceled. This has left many travelers stranded and wondering what to do with their tickets.
If you are one of the many people affected by this cancellation, there are a few things you can do.
What to do if you already had tickets
Your first step should be to contact your airline to find out what your options are. Many airlines are offering refunds or credits for future travel.
If you are unable to get a refund or credit, you may be able to sell your tickets to someone else. There are a number of websites that allow you to do this, such as StubHub and SeatGeek.
Finally, if you are unable to sell your tickets, you may be able to donate them to a charity. There are a number of organizations that accept donated tickets, such as the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army.
Additional tips
Here are a few additional tips for dealing with flight cancellations:
- Stay informed about the situation in Haiti. The US State Department has issued a travel advisory for the country, and you should check their website for the latest information.
- Be patient. It may take some time to get your refund or credit. Airlines are experiencing high call volumes, so it may be difficult to get through to customer service.
- Don't give up. If you are unable to get a refund or credit, don't give up. You may be able to sell your tickets or donate them to a charity.
