Preparing for Travel During Hurricane Season

Travel Smarter During Hurricane Season: Tips to Keep Your Getaway Safe and Stress-Free

As summer rolls in, so does hurricane season—typically lasting from June through November, with peak activity between August and October. If you’re planning to travel to popular destinations in the Caribbean, Gulf Coast, or Southeastern U.S., it’s important to stay informed and prepared.

At Pink Sky Getaway, we believe your celebratory travel should be as carefree as possible, even during unpredictable weather seasons. Here’s how you can still enjoy your dream getaway while staying safe and protected.

Know Before You Go: Understanding Hurricane Season

Many beloved tropical destinations, such as Cancun, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Florida, and the Bahamas, are located in hurricane-prone zones. But that doesn’t mean you need to cancel your travel plans! With the right timing, planning, and precautions, you can still enjoy your trip.

Best tips:

• Travel earlier in the season (June–July) for less storm risk.

• Watch the forecast leading up to your trip.

• Stay flexible with your travel dates if possible.

How to Prepare for Travel During Hurricane Season

1. Book Smart:

Choose accommodations with generous cancellation or change policies. Consider properties that offer hurricane guarantees or credits for future travel if weather disrupts your plans.

2. Pack for Safety & Delays:

Include essentials like portable chargers, extra snacks, medications, and travel-sized emergency kits in your carry-on.

3. Stay Connected:

Download weather apps and sign up for alerts from the National Hurricane Center or your airline for the latest updates.

4. Be Flexible with Activities:

Weather may change quickly. Build downtime into your itinerary and be open to shifting excursions indoors or rescheduling as needed.

Why Travel Insurance is a Must

Travel insurance isn’t just for peace of mind—it’s a smart safeguard against the unexpected. If weather forces a flight delay, resort closure, or trip cancellation, travel insurance can help you recover costs and avoid major financial setbacks.

Look for plans that include:

• Trip cancellation and interruption

• Travel delay coverage

• Emergency medical and evacuation

• “Cancel for any reason” add-ons for maximum flexibility
