Do you have any tips for my flight to Chennai?

  • Wherever you’re going, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re prepared. Firstly, pack your travel documents, passport and medications. Next, throw in some in-flight entertainment to help the time fly by. A good read and a tablet filled with your favorite series are some fantastic options. If you’re hoping to get some sleep, a comfortable neck pillow and noise-canceling headphones are also worth squeezing in.
  • Remember that there’s also a list of prohibited items for your hand luggage which can differ between airlines. As a general rule, avoid packing anything sharp, explosive or flammable. This includes things like razor blades, knives, flares and aerosol cans. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Whether traveling short or long-haul, wearing layers will help you stay comfortable. Choose loose, breathable fabrics that will keep you cool and bring a sweater to cope with any changes in cabin temperatures. Keep your feet happy in a pair of closed-toe shoes or sneakers.
  • Reduce your risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition which can be caused by sitting for lengthy periods, by regularly moving around the cabin. Otherwise, do some lower limb exercises in your seat. If you’re at higher risk of developing DVT, think about wearing compression socks or tights.

The key to securing a cheap last-minute flight to Chennai is to remain flexible. You can increase your chances of landing a fantastic deal if you’re not tied to particular travel dates, flight times and carriers.
