How to handle a flight delay or cancellation [Video]

DEGREES BELOW ZERO, AND THESE STORMS COULD CAUSE DELAYS FOR CONNECTING FLIGHTS OUT OF THE SUNPORT. THATS WHERE WE FIND PEYTON SPELLACY THIS MORNING WITH WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS. IF YOUR FLIGHT IS AFFECTED. HEY, PEYTON. GOOD MORNING, TODD AND ROYALE. LUCKILY, WE DONT HAVE A LOT OF THOSE ISSUES THAT YOU WERE JUST MENTIONING THERE. I ACTUALLY WAS ON FLIGHTAWARE YESTERDAY. THERES ONLY ABOUT 24 DELAYED FLIGHTS HERE AT SUNPORT, AND NO CANCELLATIONS. SO LETS TAKE A LOOK AT THESE BOARDS RIGHT HERE TO SEE WHAT WE HAVE GOING ON. AS YOU CAN SEE WERE LOOKING PRETTY GOOD. WE HAVE ON TIME ON TIME ON TIME. WE ONLY HAVE TWO DELAYED FLIGHTS TODAY. YOU CAN SEE ONE OF THEM HERE IS PHOENIX FOR SOUTHWEST ONLY. DELAY OF ABOUT FIVE MINUTES. SO NOT TOO BAD. OVER HERE AT SUNPORT I SPOKE WITH THE SUNPORT MARKETING MANAGER AND SHE TELLS ME THE BEST THING THAT YOU CAN DO IS DOWNLOAD YOUR AIRLINES APP TO SEE FLIGHT DEPARTURES. EVERY AIRLINE HAS ITS OWN POLICIES. FOR HOW LONG, FOR LONG DELAYS OR CANCELED FLIGHTS, TRAVEL AND LEISURE SAYS IF YOUR FLIGHT IS CANCELED BEFORE YOU LEAVE HOME TO CHECK THE AIRLINES WEBSITE FOR REBOOKING OPTIONS. IF YOURE ALREADY AT THE AIRPORT, GO TO THE AIRLINES HELP DESK AND ASK HOW THEY CAN ASSIST YOU FROM THERE, YOU CAN ALSO CALL THE AIRLINE TO SPEED THINGS UP. I THINK THE THE BIGGEST, THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS PROBABLY RUNNING LOW ON PATIENCE. I ALWAYS SAY PACK YOUR PATIENCE BECAUSE WERE ALL TRAVELING. WERE ALL GOING SOMEWHERE, YOU KNOW? YOU THINK YOURE UNIQUE AND YOURE LIKE GETTING OUT OF TOWN. EVERYBODY ELSE WANTS TO DO THE SAME THING. NOW, THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SAYS YOU CAN ALWAYS ASK YOUR AIRLINE IF YOU DO HAVE A LONG DELAY OR CANCELED FLIGHTS FOR COMPENSATION ON MEALS, HOTEL ROOMS OR COMPENSATION FOR YOUR TIME. SO THERE ARE SOME AIRLINES THAT WILL DO THAT, BUT NOT EVERYONE DOES. SO ITS WORTH AN ASK. REPORTING LI

Anderson neighbors say hunting season means feeling unsafe [Video]

Typically, the creeks branching off Broadway Lake in Anderson County are quiet. But since duck and geese hunting season started Nov. 23, neighbors say they’ve been in for a rude and early awakening from dawn until dusk. They tell WYFF it could be the death of them, literally. “No one’s been shot yet, but I’m worried that someone will,” said Cheryl Ivey, who has lived here for five years. “We have a lot of people fishing and kayaking now.” “I could get shot paddling over here and not over there. So, it’s a safety issue. If you were out here, you’d be running for that hills if they were firing,” said Roy Ivey, a neighbor of no relation to Cheryl Ivey.The body of water along Getsinger Drive is considered a creek and is connected to Broadway Lake just around the bend. “You can’t hunt within 200 yards of people’s homes to the left of that line,” said Cheryl Ivey about the bend. “But to the right on other line? Game on.”Here, there’s no regulation. Someone could shoot at geese or ducks no matter how close to a home, as long as they are still in the water or on the county-owned portions of the banks.It has made living in this area complicated. Cheryl Ivey says dead or injured geese regularly fall onto private property. “No, it happens often,” she said. “We had one in our yard last year that obviously had got a shot wing, and we tried to help it, try to put it down, and it escaped.”Roy Ivey uses his canoe to pick up litter on the banks. He says he’s accidentally wandered into the line of fire. “The DNR came out, accused me of disrupting a legal hunt, and was basically going to put the cuffs on me,” Roy Ivey said.Neighbors tell us they would be happy if a regulation passed and required hunters to stay 300 yards from houses. “And if they would enforce it, we’d be in better shape,” Roy Ivey said.In the meantime, they showed our crew that they have been to several local and state officials for help. According to Roy Ivey, “Nothing has happened.”We reached out to those officials with Anderson County, the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office, South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, and the Army Corps of Engineers. Rusty Burns with Anderson County tells us they don’t want any residents to be or feel unsafe, so they are once again taking a deep dive into what can be done on their end legally.SCDNR and the sheriff’s office tell us their hands are tied unless someone breaks the law. As of now, they haven’t heard of any hunters in the area doing so. The best way forward, they say, may be through a state law.
