UK travelers planning to visit the United States are warned of significant travel disruptions due to a major winter storm affecting popular destinations like New York and Washington, DC. Julia Lo Bue-Said, CEO of Advantage Travel Partnership, pointed out the potential for flight delays, cancellations, and airport congestion, urging travelers to stay informed and prepared.

The storm has resulted in the cancellation of thousands of flights, and travelers are encouraged to monitor updates from airlines and airports closely. Lo Bue-Said emphasized the importance of allowing extra time for journeys and having contingency plans. She also warned about the extreme cold, advising travelers to dress appropriately and to carry necessary essentials for safety.

Lo Bue-Said suggests that travelers keep in touch with their travel agents to get the latest information and support, should plans need adjustments. “Travel agents are best equipped to support when plans require changes at a moment’s notice,” she noted, advocating for booking through agents to access their expertise and guidance.
