San Antonio International did not make the list.– Air travel could become dicey for travelers as airlines are expected to cut flights to and from major hubs across the country Friday.“While we are grateful that San Antonio International Airport is not among the airports identified by the Federal Aviation Administration,” the airport said in a statement, “it is possible that travelers may be impacted by reductions in service at other airports.” Dallas/Fort Worth International, Dallas Love Field, George Bush Houston Intercontinental and Houston Hobby airports Helotes travel planner Shelia Killpack said she recommends clients purchase travel insurance if they are concerned. Travel insurance can be purchased through airlines, credit card companies or third-party insurers, but Killpack said it is important to understand what the policy will cover. “You need to review, look at the details of the coverage,” Killpack said, “because it’ll be different if it’s a card, from the airline or what your credit card may cover.” If there is confusion after reading the policy, Killpack recommended calling the provider directly to ask.“Can you drive to the destination?” Killpack said. “Could you go by rail or another alternative mode of travel?” If your flight is impacted, Killpack said passengers should not be shy about asking for assistance from the airline. “You have the right to a refund or to rebook on the next available flight,” Killpack said. “If you’re at the airport and the cancellation comes up or the delay, or a long delay that could be overnight, ask them for a meal voucher. Ask them for a hotel voucher.” Airlines recommend downloading their respective app and turning on notifications to stay informed about whether their flight is cancelled. “SAT’s security checkpoints continue to perform extremely well,” the airport said in the statement. “ employees continue to perform their essential work, despite not being paid currently.” The airport said it is working alongside community partners, including the San Antonio Food Bank, to support its federal employees amid the shutdown.
