Hurricane Policies from Travel Suppliers, Tour Operators & Airlines

Of course we hope for the best weather as you venture out on your vacation, but sometimes Mother Nature has other plans. Especially this time of year and especially down south.

Hurricane season runs from June to November with the worst of the storms typically happening in September and October.

In case disaster strikes, you want to make sure you know how you’ll be treated by your tour operator, airline, etc. Here are some hurricane policies from top travel providers …
