Do you have any tips for my flight to Schenectady?

  • Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’re properly prepared. Firstly, pack your travel documents, passport and medications. Next, toss in a little extra in-flight entertainment to help make the time fly by. A good book and a tablet filled with your favorite series are some fantastic options. If you’re hoping to get some sleep, a blow-up neck pillow and headphones are also worth squeezing in.
  • You’ll also want to check with your airline regarding what you can’t bring on board your flight. Knives, razor blades, swords and batons are among the prohibited items. Anything explosive, flammable or sharp is generally not allowed in your carry-on baggage. Don’t forget to pack any sports equipment like baseball bats or ski poles only in your checked luggage.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Whether traveling short or long-haul, layering up is key to a comfortable flight. Choose loose, natural fabrics that will keep you fresh and bring a sweater for any changes in cabin temperatures. Keep your feet happy in a pair of sneakers or flat shoes.
  • Consider wearing compression tights or socks to help prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This blood clotting condition can be caused by extended periods of sitting, especially on long-haul flights. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat or wandering around the cabin are great ways to improve your circulation.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Schenectady?
