Do you have any tips for my flight to Durham?

  • What you pack in your cabin baggage can mean the difference between a comfortable flight, and a restless one. Start with the most important stuff, like a valid ID (like your passport) and your travel documents. Once they’re packed, put in any medications you might need. Next? It’s all about the comfort factor. A neck pillow, noise-canceling headphones and a novel will help the hours fly by while you’re in the air.
  • There’s a lengthy list of items you shouldn’t pack in your carry-on too. Explosives, sharps and flammables are strictly prohibited in the cabin — they often include aerosol cans, flares, box cutters and razor blades. Some sporting equipment, like baseball bats and martial arts weapons, are also not allowed 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:

  • Whether traveling long or short-haul, layering up is key to a comfortable flight. Wear loose fitting, breathable fabrics that will keep you cool and pack a pullover for any in-flight temperature variations. Your feet will be happiest in a pair of sneakers or closed-toe 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 extended periods of sitting, especially on long-haul 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 Durham?
Scoring a cheap, last-minute flight to Durham is as simple as having some flexibility with your travel plans. Leave your options open with your choice of carrier, flight times and travel dates. If your destination has multiple airports, compare the prices of jetting into each of them for the best deal on your ticket.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Durham?
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.
