First and foremost, keep track of your flight status on your airline’s website — not just your ticket app.
Track the flight number also on sites like FlightRadar24 to see if similar flights were cancelled in the past 24 hours.
Does your plane pass through Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh or similar Middle Eastern regions? Prepare for possible delays, cancellations or reroutings.
Are you a foreign national in India? Contact your nearest Foreign Regional Registration Office for assistance with visa extension if required.
Many airlines are offering full refunds and free rescheduling. Keep checking your airline's latest waiver policy.
If your flight is scheduled, carry extra essentials like medicines and clothes so you are prepared for long transit waits or cancellations.
Keep screenshots of your ticket and boarding pass as apps can crash, at times, during mass cancellations.
Avoid non-refundable hotel or tourist facility bookings in the coming weeks.
