Should I travel from Puerto Rico to Charlotte NC on Saturday? Im worried about Hurricane Bill?
I have a trip from Puerto Rico to Charlotte North Carolina on Saturday... I called US Airways to see what I can do to cancel my trip but they want to charge me 150 dollars for each ticket. I think it's not safe to travel this weekend to the east coast... what should I do? Other - United States - 2 Answers

$150, or your LIFE? I'd rather pay the $150 than even take the chance. I've flown alot, from USA to Thailand and back. But I will never fly again, its just not safe. I think people should boycott the airlines until they invest more money into safety and make accidents nearly impossible. I'd rather spend the extra money and take cruises everywhere instead. SkyDog, I disagree. Pilots do make errors, they are not always perfect. Its easy for me to say "I have gotten in a car and have not died yet, so nobody dies in car crashes". It is crazy to ignore the fact that a perfectly good airbus disintegrated over the sea just a few months ago killing all 228 aboard. We've had over 50 planes crash in the past 9 years due to Pilot Error. 8 from Weather. http://www.planecrashinfo.com/cause.htm I was on a jet through a monsoon in Thailand a few years ago, the last time I flew. Now I was fine, but then a few weeks later at the same airport I landed at, another plane crashed and killed 89 people due to the weather. http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22435391-5012747,00.html Nothing is impossible.

If the conditions are not safe the pilot will make the decision not to conduct the flight. They are more knowledgeable in this area than you. They will not knowingly put their passengers lives, their aircraft and their own lives in unnecessary risky situations. With that said I have flown aircraft closer to hurricanes that your flight will ever get and I am perfectly fine. There is nothing to worry about.
