Do you have any tips for my flight to Sydney?

  • Wherever you’re heading, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re properly prepared. First, pack your passport (or a valid ID), travel documents and medications. Next, toss in a little extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite series are good choices. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and noise-canceling headphones are also worth squeezing in.
  • There’s a list of items you shouldn’t pack in your carry-on too. Flammables, sharps and explosives are strictly prohibited in the cabin — they often include knives of any sort, aerosol cans and flares. Some sporting equipment, like baseball bats and martial arts weapons, also generally can’t go in your hand luggage. Your airline’s website will have all the details about what you can and can’t bring on board.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Opt for comfort rather than fashion when flying. Dress in layers and wear natural materials as they allow moisture and air to pass through and keep you cool. Cabin temperatures typically get cooler on long-haul flights, so bring a hoodie or similar and always wear sneakers or enclosed shoes.
  • The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting caused by inactivity and poor circulation. Wandering up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated can help prevent this developing. Wearing compression socks or tights also helps to lessen your risk.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Sydney?
The key to securing a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to Sydney is being flexible. You can boost your chances of scoring an unbeatable deal if you’re not tied to specific travel dates, flight times and carriers. Also compare the prices of flying out of and into alternative airports if that’s an option.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Sydney?
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.
