TEVENS POINT, Wis., Feb. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- As the Midwest and Northeast are getting pounded with snow and ice this week, and airports reporting closures or long delays, AIG Travel Guard, the nation's largest provider of travel insurance and assistance plans, has been answering the calls of thousands of stranded travelers trying to depart from or return to the affected regions.
"Our LiveTravel assistance center has received more than double the normal volume of calls from travelers needing help to rebook cancelled flights and make alternative hotel reservations," reports Dan McGinnity, AIG Travel Guard Vice President. "The delays and airport closures have stranded travelers in airports throughout the country because such major hubs like Chicago's O'Hare and Washington's Dulles and Reagan National have been affected. Most of our clients have been rebooked on alternate flights and will be on their way home today or tomorrow. We expect the increased call volume to continue this week as the Midwest storm moves East today and tomorrow. Next week we anticipate a significant number of calls from customers filing trip delay and cancellation claims."
