You’ve all heard the advice to get to the airport early or try to take the first flight out. It’s solid advice, but now, it may be just as important to depart one day earlier than planned.

The reason? Massive, increasingly frequent weather events are changing the dynamics of getting from point A to point B—extreme heat, wildfires, volcanic eruptions that close airports, and severe thunderstorms.

This year, a whopping 25% of trips have experienced delays or disruptions beyond the airlines’ control.

Going on a cruise? Fly to the port a day earlier. Don’t just get to the airport early. Arrive at your final destination a day early.
