British airways cancel flight to bahamas thanks to hurricane

"There is no doubt, this is a serious weather event and need must be paid to all advisories given by the authorities! “Before travelling to these areas, holidaymakers should check with

their travel insurer that they are still happy to cover them. Whatever holidaymakers do, they should ensure that they have an active and sanctioned travel insurance to what is and will

remain to be, a risk destination. "They should also ensure that they carry all the medicines they require, including over the counter preparations along with a good range of

anti-diarrhoeal drugs in case water supplies have become contaminated - they should make sure before departure that they receive any further medical advices from their GP and act in those

advices." Virgin Atlantic told Express.co.uk that no Virgin flights have been cancelled to date but they are monitoring the situation. A Virgin Atlantic spokeperson said: "We are

monitoring the adverse weather conditions caused by Hurricane Matthew over Florida and currently all flights will operate as scheduled, however, we do ask all customers to check the status

of their flights on virginatlantic.com before they travel to the airport. "The safety and comfort of our customers is our top priority and any customers booked to travel to, from and

though Miami and Orlando on 6 and 7 October may rebook their flights for an alternative date. Please contact your travel agent or call Virgin Atlantic directly on 0344 209 8711 for more

information."
