The 3-step Plan B framework
1) Regain control
Save evidence (emails/screenshots). Check rebooking options and keep reference numbers.
Tel Aviv cancelled
Beirut flight cancelled
2) Pick a connected hub
Choose a city with airports + rail + metro so you can rebuild plans quickly.
3) Keep the itinerary light
Plan 1–2 must‑do items per day. Everything else stays optional until routes stabilize.
Why this works: less friction, fewer “moving parts”, and a much lower chance of losing the whole trip.
