When faced with an executive flight cancellation, verify the cancellation details with the airline and explore immediate rebooking options. Simultaneously, search for alternative flights or modes of transportation that align with the executive’s schedule. Keep the executive informed with clear options while preparing contingency plans to ensure minimal disruptions.

Flight cancellations are always inconvenient, making it essential to have alternative options readily available. Where possible, discuss these alternatives with the executive ahead of time, especially for mandatory trips. Additionally, ensure you’re aware of the budget available for the alternative arrangements. If an alternative travel route is selected, confirm all stops and adjust related plans, such as notifying the hotel or other service providers of the changes. For non-mandatory trips, if virtual attendance is an option, present this alternative to the executive for approval before proceeding.

Face à l’annulation, anticipez l’imprévu : explorez des alternatives, déléguez et adaptez. C’est ce que j’appelle l’effet pivot : transformer les obstacles en opportunités de renforcement collectif.

?Try to take a deep breath and keep perspective. ?Understand the specifics of the disruption. ?Reach out to the airline, hotel, or tour operator as soon as possible. ?Consider other flights, transportation methods, airports, and routes. ?Be open to changing your plans. ?You might be able to get reimbursed for some expenses. ?Consider having alternative flight options, accommodations, clothing, and medication. ?Travel insurance can cover trip cancellations, delays, lost luggage, and medical emergencies. ?You can use apps to get real-time updates. ?Pay attention to things that could impact your travel. ?Have passports, visas, birth certificates, itineraries, agendas, and contact information on hand.

I immediately look for alternative flights, communicate the options clearly to the executive, and adjust their schedule as needed to minimize disruption.
