January 26, 2016: If you’ve been traveling to or from the east coast this past week, there is no doubt things have been tough — and that is especially true for those scheduled to fly during the blizzard. Over four days, more than 12,500 flights across the nation were cancelled due to this awful weather.

Airlines are going to do what airlines do best, and make things as difficult as possible to rebook your flight — and they’re going to be working extra hard to make you, and the thousands of people trying to escape this ice age, miserable. Fortunately, there are some steps from USA Today that you can take to make this whole experience a little more bearable.
