Question

17．With the year coming to an end，a vacation is inescapable．Traveling in winter is never easy．Air travel might sound like the most convenient method of winter travel，but it has its shortcomings．The season of cold sometimes interrupts your travel plans and flights often get cancelled or delayed．We bring you some tips to keep in mind if you are traveling by air in the winter．
Early flights are on time
Early morning flights have been found to be more on time than the ones later in the day．You would have to wake up very early，but it would be worth it．Any delay in the flight schedule during the day leads to a series of delays，so the best way to avoid a delayed flight is to fly early．
Partner airlines can help
Partner airlines can help you in times of delayed flights．Some airlines work in association（聯(lián)系） with partner airlines．In case your flight gets cancelled or delayed，you can ask for a seat with the partner airline，provided（假如）that your airline supports it．
Join a club
Joining a club will surely make you shell out some money，but if you are a frequent flyer，this is the best option（選擇）for you．When your flight gets delayed for hours，you can access（通道，加入）those clubs in the airport rather than being stuck in the terminal（終點(diǎn)站）．Also，access to different travel agents is easier from the clubs，and they can assist you with various options available（可利用的，可得到的）．
Consider a travel agent
At times when you are stuck（阻塞，陷入）in situations where your flight is delayed or cancelled，instead of dealing directly with the airline staff，it is best to lay the responsibility on your travel agent．Your travel agent will act on your behalf and solve the issues instead of you standing in the queue and dealing with the issue all by yourself．
