Highway and airline travel information

Highway and airline travel information
John Bobel
January 22, 2019

During the winter travel season, remember to get your car or truck checked out before you start that long trip to grandma’s house.

When you pack up the car, remember to include your travel emergency kit. You never know when you’ll need it.

AAA has some good winter driving tips here.

If you must know the latest road conditions, turn on your local radio or television station.

Here’s the website for the National Weather Service to get the current forecast for your destination.

DO NOT CALL 9-1-1 for a weather or road condition update. 9-1-1 is for emergencies only. The same goes for local police, sheriff and state police.

Here’s where you can go to access road conditions for Kentucky and surrounding states:

  • Kentucky road conditions
  • Indiana road conditions
  • Ohio road conditions
  • West Virginia road conditions
  • Tennessee road conditions
  • Illinois road conditions

If you’re traveling by air, here’s where to check the latest airline schedules:

  • Blue Grass Airport – Lexington
  • Louisville International Airport
  • Northern Kentucky International Airport
