help for delayed flight before it happens - by Mike


Help For Delayed Flight

Help for delayed flight is here. I fly a lot and I want answers to the same problems everyone else has. I want to share the solutions I have found to the major problems facing us today - delayed flights, oversold flights, lost baggage and getting stuck in a plane on the runway. We all need strategies for surviving our flights. If these strategies can make our trips more comfortable that would be a dream.

Help for delayed flight might get you back into that airplane pictured here, that you missed.

The four serious problems at airports today are delayed flights, an oversold flight, of course lost baggage, and being stuck in plane. Plan on taking your own action. If you do not feel like you have been fairly compensated, you can seek the advice of aviation attorneys that specialize in aviation matters. Be advised, there are no federal regulations governing how airlines should help passengers with delayed flights. It depends on what is delaying your flight.

If you have been delayed because your flight was overbooked, you are entitled to $800 if delayed by more than 2 hours to your destination. If under 2 hours, you are entitled to $400 per person under new aviation laws put into effect by a new Transportation Department ruling that started in May 2008.

More than 100,000 flights were cancelled last year, while only 72% of flights have been on time. Understand 72% is the average; there are carriers on certain routes which are delayed 100% of the time.

Insider Secret - Buy a one day pass for the frequent flier lounge, even if you are not a member. Once inside, use the staff to rebook your trip, they won't be as frazzled as the ticket counter personnel.

Don't wait for delays to happen. Information is power. There are ways to find out exactly where your plane is. One thing you can do before you get to the airport is go to Flightaware.com. Flightaware will tell you exactly where your plane is - how far your plane is from your gate.

To even think of going to the airport without consulting Flightaware is like, well, flying blind. Make your own help for delayed flight by having a laptop and a mobile broadband card. Sprint and Verizon make them and they won't cost you very much. Then you don't have to track down a Wi-fi hotspot, which can be a hassle. You are going to want to be able to connect to the internet anywhere anytime if you have any hope of getting yourself out of airport messes.

New York attorney Richard Roth is suing Delta for almost $1 million dollars. It seems there was a mess up and his flight to Argentina was almost 3 days late, while his 80-year old mother also had an equally maddening time meeting up with him. Did you know there are attorneys that specialize in aviation matters like help for delayed flight, bumps, crashes and even lost baggage?

The solution to getting airlines on time and to stop delaying flights is by increasing their fines. Passengers are turning to aviation attorneys to collect hefty settlements for their lost time and hardship. Any day now they will tag all suitcases with RFID, radio frequency identification tags. Those same things that keep items from walking out of stores could bring much needed help for lost baggage - help for delayed flight.
