Do you have any tips for my flight to Amherst?

  • Get your vacation off to a good start by being prepared. Pack the important stuff — like travel documents, your passport and any medications you need — first. After that, consider downloading the latest movies on your tablet for a guilt-free binge session. Or, bring that bestseller you’ve been itching to read. Lastly, a few snacks and a quality neck pillow will go a long way to making the journey as comfortable as possible.
  • There’s a list of items you shouldn’t pack in your carry-on baggage too. Flammables, explosives and sharps are strictly prohibited in the cabin — they often include box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Some sporting equipment, like baseball bats and martial arts weapons, also generally can’t go in your hand luggage. Your airline’s website will have all the details about what you can and can’t take on board.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort instead of fashion when flying. Layer up and wear natural fabrics since they allow moisture and air to pass through and keep you cool. Cabins can get colder on longer flights, so pack a hoodie or similar and always wear sneakers or enclosed shoes.
  • Consider wearing compression socks or tights to help prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This condition is a result of blood clotting that can be caused by long periods of sitting, especially on long-distance journeys. Doing leg and foot stretches in your seat or wandering around the cabin will help improve your circulation.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Amherst?
Scoring a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to Amherst is as easy as having some flexibility with your travel plans. Leave your options open with your choice of airline, flight times and travel dates. If your destination has multiple airports, compare the prices of jetting into each of them for the best deal.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Amherst?
Most flights are free to cancel within 24 hours of making the reservation. However, some flights are non-refundable, and you may receive a flight credit from the airline to use for a future booking. For more information, please visit our Customer Service Portal.
