Do you have any tips for my flight to Independence?

  • What you pack in your cabin baggage can be the difference between a comfortable flight, and one you’d prefer to forget. Start with the important stuff, like your passport (or a valid ID) and your travel documents. Once they’re packed, throw in any medications you might need. Next? Think about comfort. Earphones, a quality neck pillow and a novel will help the hours fly by while you’re soaring through the sky.
  • There’s a list of items you should not pack in your carry-on too. Sharps, flammables and explosives are strictly prohibited in the cabin — they can include knives, razor blades, flares and aerosol cans. Some sporting equipment, like tennis rackets and baseball bats, are also not allowed in your hand luggage. Visit your airline’s website for details about what you can and can’t bring on board.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort instead of fashion when flying. Layer up and wear natural materials since they allow air and moisture to pass through and keep you cool. Cabins can get colder on longer flights, so bring a hoodie or similar and always wear sneakers or flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • The condition known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It’s the result of blood clotting caused by poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg stretches while seated can help prevent this developing. Wearing compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Independence?
If you want to grab a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to Independence, flexibility is important. If possible, have some wiggle room with your travel dates. It will also help to have some leeway with your airports, airline choice, flight times and possible layovers or stops.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Independence?
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.
