Do you have any tips for my flight to Elgin?

  • Get your vacation off to an excellent start by being well prepared. Pack the important stuff — like travel documents, your passport and any medications you need — first. After that, consider downloading a few movies on your tablet for a guilt-free binge session. Or, toss in that bestseller you’ve been wanting to read. Lastly, something to nibble on and a soft neck pillow will go a long way to making the trip as comfy as possible.
  • There’s also a list of prohibited items for your hand luggage which can differ between airlines. As a general rule, avoid packing anything explosive, sharp or flammable. This includes things like razor blades, box cutters, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, ski poles 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 a plane aren’t designed to be a catwalk. Layer up in comfy clothing and pack a pullover as it can get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Sneakers or enclosed, flat shoes are ideal for longer journeys.
  • 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 flights. Performing foot and leg exercises in your seat or wandering around the cabin will help improve your circulation.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Elgin?
The key to getting a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to Elgin is to be flexible. You can increase your odds of landing an excellent deal if you’re not tied to particular airlines, travel dates and flight times. Also compare the prices of flying into and out of alternative airports if that’s an option.

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.
