Multiple extreme weather advisories have already been issued across the nation for the weekend, impacting travelers from coast to coast. Christopherson Business Travel (CBT) [3] is prepared for the anticipated travel interruptions expected as a result. Here are a few tips for to consider should your business travel be impacted:

1. Make sure to arrive early at the airport in anticipation of longer wait times for check-in or through security. Be sure to also allow ample time for your commute to the airport.
2. Add your cell phone number to your Concur Traveler Profile [4] and in your airline frequent flyer account profile. This is the ONLY way the airlines and CBT Agents can get ahold of travelers regarding their flights.  
3. If traveling during potential storms, include your department in any travel decisions that could incur additional travel-related costs (such as delays resulting in extending the trip) to ensure approval for reimbursement.   
4. If your flight is cancelled or delayed, you can contact a CBT Agent [3] directly for immediate for assistance.
5. When contacting CBT during a large weather event or other travel-impacting emergency, please be patient as you may experience longer than usual hold times due to increased call volume resulting from the event.
6. If stranded at the airport, you can work directly with the airline to rebook. In most cases the airline will waive add/collect fees, put you on a different airline, or provide exceptions under weather-related waivers. If you find yourself in a situation where additional funds need to be collected for a resulting flight change, you can use your CU Travel Card [5] for these additional charges. Be sure to include comments in your report explaining the situation when reconciling.
