Do you have any tips for my flight to Merced?

  • What you pack in your carry-on baggage can make the difference between a comfortable flight, and one you’d prefer to forget. Start with the crucial things, like a valid ID (like your passport) and your travel documents. Once they’re safely packed, throw in any medications you might need. Next? Consider your comfort factor. Earphones, a quality neck pillow and the latest bestseller will help the hours fly by while you’re soaring above the clouds.
  • There’s a lengthy list of items you should not pack in your carry-on baggage too. Sharps, flammables and explosives are strictly prohibited in the cabin — they can include aerosol cans, flares, box cutters and razor blades. Some sporting equipment, like martial arts weapons and baseball bats, 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:

  • Go for comfort over fashion when flying. Dress in layers and wear natural materials as they allow air and moisture to pass through and keep you cool. Cabin temperatures typically get cooler on long-haul journeys, so pack a sweater and always wear sneakers or flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • The condition known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot stretches while seated can prevent it developing. Wearing compression socks or tights also helps to lessen your risk.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Merced?
Booking a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to Merced is as simple as being flexible with your travel plans. Have some wiggle room with your choice of carrier, flight times and travel dates. If your destination has a few airports to choose from, 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 Merced?
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.
