State Farm offers tips for safe traveling

Bloomington, Ill., June 21, 2010 - As the summer season officially kicks off this week, don't let Mother Nature put a damper on your travels.  Tornadoes and hail storms can happen at a moment's notice. State Farm Insurance wants you to be protected on the road and offers some important tips of what to do when the sirens sound.

· Use headlights-Not only is it the law but visibility is usually compromised in rainy conditions and headlights can help.

· Keep your windows clear with the defroster or air conditioner

· Roads are slippery then they appear from the rain so take your time.

· Never cross a flooded roadway because it's tough to tell how deep the water is. Take the time to find an alternate route.

· Keep an eye out for flying debris. And use extra caution near trailers, vans or vehicles carrying lightweight cargo.

· Never try to outrun a tornado. Get out of the car and find shelter. If you can't reach a safe structure, lie down in a ditch or low area. Stay face down to protect yourself from flying debris and cover the back of your head and neck with your hands.

Also remember, during summer months more people are on the road riding motorcycles and pulling trailers and campers.  But would you have the coverage you need in case the unexpected happens?

· Did you know that you can opt to have coverage on your camper or trailer under your auto policy?

· Or did you know you can opt for coverage on your rental cars?

· Motorcycles have many different coverages - do you have the right one?

State Farm recommends you talk to your agent or insurance provider to ensure your summer fun isn't spoiled by the unexpected.

MARCH COMES IN LIKE A LION AT QCIA

More flights to be added in June, 2010

( Moline/Quad Cities) March enplanements at the Quad City International Airport exceeded 40,000 passengers,  Bruce Carter announced today at the Metropolitan Airport Authority monthly board meeting. "While this was technically the fourth best March on record, we consider any month that we enplane forty-thousand passengers or more to be a very strong travel month," Carter said. 41,296 passengers were enplaned which is up 3% over last March. The airport is up 1% overall compared to last year. Last month, spring break travelers filled the parking lot and the perimeter, which was expanded in 2009.

Earlier this month, Delta added more flights to two existing cities. On April 6, flights to Minneapolis-St. Paul increased from two to three flights per day. An additional flight was added to Atlanta the same day. In early June, one additional Memphis and Detroit flight will be added to the current schedule. "We are very pleased that these flights have been added this month," Bruce Carter, Director of Aviation, said. "Once the Memphis and Detroit flights are added in June, we will have a total of 220 additional seats into the daily schedule. This gives our travelers more choices when making their plans."

AirTran Airways has made a change to their 5:35 a.m. departure to Atlanta. Effective April 6, the departure time changed to 6:35 a.m.  On May 27, the AirTran afternoon arrival that currently returns from Atlanta in the 5:00 p.m. hour will land at 6:01 p.m.  That flight will then depart to Atlanta at 6:36 p.m.
