Do you have any tips for my flight to Petersburg?

  • What you pack in your cabin baggage can be the difference between a comfortable flight, and a restless one. Start with the crucial things, like your passport (or a valid ID) and your travel documents. Once they’re packed, throw in any medications you might need. After that, consider your comfort factor. A quality neck pillow, earplugs and a juicy novel will help the time fly by while you’re soaring above the clouds.
  • It also pays to check with your airline regarding what you can’t take on board your flight. Razor blades, pocket knives, swords and batons are among the prohibited items. Anything flammable, explosive or sharp is generally not allowed in your carry-on baggage. Remember to pack any sports equipment like baseball bats or ski poles in your checked luggage.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Whether traveling long or short-haul, layering up is key to a comfy flight. Wear loose fitting, breathable fabrics that will keep you fresh and bring a pullover to cope with any changes in cabin temperatures. Keep your feet happy in a pair of flat 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 walking around the cabin. You can also do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat. If you’re at higher risk of developing DVT, consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Petersburg?
The key to picking up a cheap last-minute flight to Petersburg is to remain flexible. You can nab a fabulous deal if you’re not tied to particular flight times, carriers and travel dates. Also compare the prices of flying into and out of alternative airports if that’s a possibility.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Petersburg?
