Should you risk swine flu for your vacation to Mexico? Steps to changing your vacation dates.

With swine flu raised to phase 5 in intensity, travel to Mexico is looking less and less enticing. If you didn't follow my earlier advice and get travel insurance, your dilemma is even greater.

Here are steps to help you as you make your decision:

1) Check out the World Health Organization's (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) websites and read the most recent status updates. Also check the State Department's Travel Page for current travel alerts. Now that you're good and scared,

2) Check your airline's current policy on change fees. Alaska, Frontier, Air Tran, American, Delta, and United are among the airlines offering a waiver on change fees. Delta allows you to cancel your flight entirely for credit toward another flight.

3) Contact your hotel or booking agent to see if you can change the dates of your stay. The Mexican economy is going to take a serious hit and they are going to want a chance to keep your business, even if it means later.
