Travel tips to steer you through the NYC storm
The New York Times Travel section has offered three travel tips to navigate the big storm that smashed into the U.S. eastern seaboard.
The tips will help to keep tabs on the airlines and flights in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
While the advice is aimed primarily at a U.S. audience, other travellers, either in the country or heading to the U.S., should find the information useful.
1. Use Twitter. The airlines are trying to keep passengers informed with the most up-to-date information on Twitter.
Here are the Twitter handles for the major domestic carriers:
American Airlines: @AmericanAir
Delta: @Delta and @Deltanewsroom
JetBlue: @JetBlue
Southwest: @Southwestair
Spirit: @Spiritairlines
United: @United
US Airways: @USAirways
Virgin America: @VirginAmerica
Also follow government agencies on Twitter:
Department of Homeland Security: @DHSgov
Federal Aviation Administration: @FAAnews
New York City Mayor’s Office: @NYCmayorsoffice
Metropolitan Transportation Authority of the State of New York: @MTAinsider
New York City Government: @NYCgovState Department: @Statedept
It can be helpful to follow the feeds of government officials as well.
For instance, Howard Glaser, director of operations for the State of New York and adviser to Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, gets right to the point: "Hope to partially reopen JFK tomorrow. Runway strewn w debris – including boats."
His Twitter handle is @hglaser1.
