Just a quick reminder to check in with your airline for any affected travel as a result of Harvey. IAH and HOU have been severely affected so any flights originating from, or connecting through, may be impacted.

Tropical Storm Lidia and Hurricane Irma aren’t doing us any favors so if you are flying in the near future, get yourself prepared for Plan B. It’s always a wise idea to have alternate plans, even on a good day. Days like these, as Houston and the surrounding areas clean up, it is critical to have a back-up plan.

As it relates to air travel, be sure to check your airline’s website. Here are some links to the larger US airlines.

• United has updates here
• American has updates here
• Delta has updates here
• Southwest has updates here

You get the point, right? Check in with your airline! Due to incredibly high call volumes start by checking the airline app and/or website. Only call them if you can’t use electronic means to resolve your issue.

Good luck, be safe, and let’s try to enjoy a long weekend. Java and Junket will be back on Tuesday with more conversations about coffe, travel, and getting the most out of life! Cheers, fellow travelers, and may those affected by Harvey find comfort and normalcy as quickly as possible.
