Travel Place Potomac Celebrates 10th Anniversary with Travel-On
Winter Weather, Travel Plans, and Your Travel-On Agent
When wintry weather disrupts travel plans, travelers who book through Travel-On have many advantages over those who “go it alone.” Travel-On agents have your back, preparing to help you long before you even know that you need help. To safeguard our number one priority, our clients’ safety, we closely monitor the latest news, weather, and travel updates. By providing the facts we enable our clients to make informed decisions about every aspect of their travel. When the situation requires a change of plans we are our travelers’ personal “safety net”. Our vendor relationships allow us to access limited inventory to quickly rebook, often for no additional charge, and obtain travel vouchers or refunds that travelers may not know are due or available to them. Because of our resources and advocacy, our clients have peace-of-mind when it comes to their travel plans regardless of what Mother Nature sends their way.

Flight disruptions are possible at airports in Worcester, Manchester, Portland, Bangor, Bar Harbor, Presque Isle, Fredericton, St. John, and Moncton. Delays and cancellations can also be expected at Boston Logan International Airport due to low visibility and de-icing operations.
Turkey – Saturday Flights Cancelled
Turkish Airlines has cancelled more than 100 flights to and from Istanbul, nearly all scheduled for Saturday, due to expected adverse weather conditions. Travelers should reconfirm with the airline before heading to the airport.
Can I take my own Easy Pass and use it in a rental car?
Technically yes, however, you must make sure that it is properly adhered to the windshield in order to be read. If the sensors are unable to read it they will take a picture of the license plate and the rental company will charge you for the toll and likely a fee or penalty as well. If the rental car has its own Easy Pass you’ll also need to be sure it is removed from the windshield and properly stowed so that it cannot also be read.
