• What you pack in your cabin baggage can make the difference between a comfortable flight, and a restless one. Start with the most important stuff, like your passport (or a valid ID) and your travel documents. Once they’re safely packed, throw in any medications you might need. After that, consider your comfort factor. A neck pillow, noise-canceling headphones and the latest bestseller will help the time fly by while you’re soaring above the clouds.
• Don’t forget there’s also a list of prohibited items for your hand luggage which can differ between carriers and flight routes. Generally, avoid bringing anything explosive, flammable or sharp. This includes things like razor blades, box cutters, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, baseball bats 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 an aircraft aren’t designed for a fashion parade. Layer up in comfy, loose-fitting clothing and bring a pullover as it can get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Sneakers or enclosed, flat shoes are perfect for longer journeys.
• 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, perform foot and leg exercises in your seat. If you’re at higher risk of developing DVT, think about wearing compression socks or tights.

The key to tracking down a cheap last-minute flight to Philipsburg is flexibility. You can increase your chances of landing an excellent deal if you’re not tied to specific carriers, travel dates and flight times. Also compare the prices of flying into and out of alternative airports if that’s a possibility.

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.
