Our take
Use your travel insurance. If you paid for your flights with a travel credit card, you might be covered if a flight is delayed or canceled altogether.
Make the most of your Priority Pass. If you carry a credit card with Priority Pass membership, make the airport a little less stressful by ducking into one of those fancy lounges while you wait.
Get rewarded for using your card. By taking advantage of select travel loyalty programs, you can earn rewards by making purchases you’ll have to make anyway, like flights and hotel rooms.
