Flight delays, cancellations, and long connections can throw your entire assignment off schedule — and your paycheck with it. In this episode, live from the airpot, Dr. Mimi breaks down how to protect your time, money, and sanity when traveling for locums work during a chaotic travel season.

She shares practical strategies to stay one step ahead, including:

- Why you should fly in a day early to avoid last-minute chaos
- How to choose assignments that keep you close and flexible
- What to consider when booking through travel agencies
- When to say no to “high-paying” gigs that are too far or risky
