Do you have any tips for my flight to Big Sur?

  • Wherever you’re going, flying can be a great experience if you’re prepared. Firstly, pack your travel documents, passport and medications. Next, throw in some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A good read and a tablet filled with your favorite series are good choices. If you want to nap, a comfortable neck pillow and noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy.
  • There’s a lengthy list of items you should not pack in your carry-on bag too. Explosives, sharps and flammables are strictly prohibited in the cabin — they can include box cutters, razor blades, 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 a full list of what you can and can’t bring on board.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Opt for comfort instead of fashion when flying. Layer up and wear natural materials since they allow air and moisture to pass through and keep you cool. Cabin temperatures typically get cooler on long-haul journeys, so pack a pullover and always wear sneakers or enclosed shoes.
  • Reduce your risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition which can be caused by sitting for long periods of time, 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, think about wearing compression socks or tights.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Big Sur?
Securing a cheap, last-minute flight to Big Sur is as easy as being flexible with your travel plans. Keep your options open with your choice of airline, travel dates and flight times. If your destination has multiple airports, compare the prices of jetting into each of them for the best deal on your airfare.
