Summer Travel Tips for Flyers

AirTran, Southwest: Flights Could be Disrupted

Both Southwest and its now wholly owned subsidiary AirTran say all flights are operating as usual, but this could change at any time. As it says on the two websites, “Depending on the storm’s direction, there is the possibility that flights could be disrupted (delayed, diverted, and/or cancelled).” Anyone flying into these areas should stay in touch with the airline either via the website, Facebook or Twitter.

Stay in Touch with Airline

Other airlines have yet to post information about potential Debby disruptions but again, this could change at any time. Travelers should keep up with weather news and stay in contact with their airlines.
