I am scheduled to take a trip but I am worried I will get my period. When can I start taking my pills to delay my periods?

Skip the blanks and start the next pill pack. That may work to prolong your cycle.
If you are on a birth control pill already and want to delay your menses, skip the placebo pills at the end of the pill pack and go right into your next pill pack. That will push your menses back by 3 weeks. You may get some spotting but you will delay your flow.
Start pills one cycle before the trip and continue during the trip
Start taking Seasonique and continue to take them until you want your period to return
