Do you have any tips for my flight to Amherst?

  • Get your vacation off to a promising start by being well prepared. Pack your passport, travel documents and any medications you need first. Next, consider downloading some movies on your tablet for a binge session sans guilt. Or, throw in that juicy novel you’ve been saving for a rainy day. Lastly, a snack to nibble on and a soft neck pillow will go a long way to making your trip as comfortable as possible.
  • Don’t forget there’s also a list of prohibited items for your hand luggage which can differ between airlines and routes. Generally, avoid packing anything explosive, sharp or flammable. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, baseball bats and objects considered weapons, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort instead of fashion when flying. Dress in layers and wear natural fabrics as they allow air and moisture to pass through and keep you cool. Cabin temperatures typically get cooler on long-haul flights, so pack a hoodie or similar and always wear sneakers or flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • Consider wearing compression socks or tights to help prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This blood clotting condition can be caused by extended periods of sitting, especially on long-distance flights. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat or wandering around the cabin are good ways to improve your circulation.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Amherst?
The key to finding a cheap last-minute flight to Amherst is to remain flexible. You can score a fabulous deal if you’re not tied to specific airlines, travel dates and flight times. Also compare the prices of flying into and out of alternative airports if that’s an option.
