Do you have any tips for my flight to Amherst?

  • What you pack in your hand luggage can make the difference between a comfortable flight, and one you’d rather forget. Start with the important stuff, like your passport (or a valid ID) and your travel documents. Once they’re safely packed, toss in any medications you might need. Next? It’s all about the comfort factor. Earplugs, a neck pillow and a book will help the time fly by while you’re in your seat.
  • There’s also a list of prohibited items for your hand luggage which differs between carriers. Generally, avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, flares and aerosol cans. Sports equipment like baseball bats, tennis rackets and objects that could harm passengers, such as batons and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft aren’t the place for a fashion show. Layer up with comfortable clothes and pack a hoodie since it can get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Sneakers or enclosed, flat shoes are the best type of footwear for longer journeys.
  • Consider wearing compression socks or tights to help prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This blood clotting condition can be caused by prolonged periods of sitting, especially on long-haul journeys. Performing leg and foot stretches in your seat or wandering around the cabin are great 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 being flexible. You can increase your chances of landing a fantastic deal if you’re not tied to particular carriers, flight times and travel dates. Also compare the prices of flying out of and into alternative airports if that’s an option.
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.
