travelnews: Update Regarding Major East Coast Snowstorm

[BAO news for travel administrators]

Northeast Bracing For Major Snowstorm:

In preparation for what could be a record breaking snowstorm, several states across the Northeastern United States have declared states of emergency and are restricting travel.  In addition, numerous airports will cease operations Monday evening and will not resume limited operations until sometime Wednesday.  Affected airports include those in New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, Hartford, and others across the region.

Flight disruptions may occur throughout the remainder of this week as airlines work to re-establish normal operations following the storm.

Travelers are advised to check flight status<http://www.flightstats.com/go/Home/home.do> prior to departing for the airport and contact their travel agent with questions or for assistance.  Many of our contract agencies have implemented extended office hours and additional staff at their after-hours service phone services.
