Coping with Trip Chaos
Have a Support Plan.
Should something go awry with your travel plans, have a support system in place. Upaway provides on-demand, human trip support. Canceled flight or missed connection? You can call or text our team of certified travel experts who will get you to your destination as quickly and seamlessly as possible.
Create comfort in your immediate space.
Airports are bustling, loud, and quite chaotic. Some people love the buzzing environment, while others find it stress-inducing. Create comfort in your immediate surroundings, especially for long layovers or delays. Whether you find a quiet corner away from boarding gates or prefer sitting in a restaurant and mingling with other travelers, set yourself up in a space that is the best environment for your mental well-being.
Accept what you can not control, and find positives in every experience.
At the end of the day, we cannot control if it rains, shines, or hurricanes. We aren’t in the air-traffic control towers, working TSA, or staffing flights. Accept what you can't control and find a positive spin wherever possible. Did your direct flight to Colombia get canceled? Bummer. But with a new long layover in Mexico City, you can experience another destination along the way!
