Stay Calm for Now…
Holidays are an important opportunity to unwind, reflect and find adventure. So as stressful as the situation may be, try and stay calm. Try not to let any setbacks ruin your well-deserved trip.
This is especially true if you’re travelling with your four-legged friend. Dogs feed off our energy, and while they may not be aware that a flight was canceled, they will still know if you are feeling stressed. So try and keep calm, get any compensation you’re entitled to, and enjoy your holiday!
