Resource: Travel tips to know given national FAA ground stoppage

Air travel came to a halt Friday; PIRG has a consumer guide for that

CLEVELAND — The Federal Aviation Administration grounded all flights nationwide on Friday, citing air traffic control communications problems.

PIRG, one of the nation’s leading consumer groups for more than 50 years, has compiled an online resource of Airline travel tips you shouldn’t fly without. The most important thing to know: If your flight is canceled for any reason, you are entitled to a full refund if you choose not to rebook. 

The resource and links from the page include information about (among other things):

• Using airline apps to stay on top of the latest
• What to do when your flight is delayed or cancelled
• The flyers’ bill of rights

Please feel free to share this information and the weblinks with your audience. Also, if you’d like to interview PIRG’s Consumer Watchdog Teresa Murray, please let us know.
