Do you have any tips for my flight to Wilmington?

  • Get your trip off to a good start by being prepared. Pack your passport, travel documents and medications first. Next, think about downloading the latest TV series on your tablet or phone for a binge session sans guilt. Or, bring that thrilling bestseller you’ve been wanting to read. Lastly, something to nibble on and a good-quality neck pillow will go a long way to making your journey as comfy as possible.
  • It also pays to check with your airline regarding what you can’t take on board your flight. Batons, swords, box cutters, razor blades and knives are among the prohibited items. Anything flammable, explosive or sharp is generally not allowed in your carry-on bags. Don’t forget to pack any sports equipment like baseball bats or ski poles in your checked luggage.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Opt for comfort rather than fashion when flying. Dress in layers and wear natural fabrics since they allow air and moisture to pass through and keep you cool. Cabins can get colder on longer flights, so pack a hoodie or similar and always wear sneakers or flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • 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. Otherwise, do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat. If you’re at higher risk of developing DVT, consider wearing compression socks.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Wilmington?
To get your hands on a cheap last-minute flight to Wilmington, you’ll need to be flexible. If possible, have some wiggle room with the dates you plan to travel. It also helps to leave your options open with your arrival and departure airports, choice of carrier, flight times and layovers or stops.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Wilmington?
