“If you’re traveling out of Florida, please do not head to the airport unless that airport is open and it’s safe to drive there. Always check with your airline(s) to verify flight status,” wrote the TSA.

If your flight has been canceled, you are entitled to a full refund on the same method of payment, according to the Department of Transportation. This is true even of “non-refundable” tickets.

While airlines often do re-book travelers automatically upon flight cancelation, given Hurricane Milton’s widespread outages, it is recommended instead to call your airline’s international help desk.

Additionally, tagging an airline on a social media platform like X can sometimes get the attention of representatives who can rebook passengers rapidly.

The 2024 Hurricane season still has about eight weeks left, finishing officially on November 30.

“Tampa International Airport is collaborating with its partners, including the FAA, TSA, and airlines, to try and reopen to the public at 8 a.m. Friday after a three-day flight suspension due to Hurricane Milton,” the airport annouced. “However, the extreme wind gusts and heavy rainfall from the Category 3 storm impacted several areas of the airport campus that will need repairs.”
