Do you have any tips for my flight to Columbia?

  • Wherever you’re traveling, flying can be a wonderful experience if you come prepared. Firstly, pack your passport, travel documents and medications. Next, throw in some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. The latest bestseller and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are a couple of good options. If you plan on getting some sleep, a comfortable neck pillow and headphones are also worth packing.
  • Remember that there’s also a list of prohibited items for your hand luggage which can differ between airlines and routes. Generally, avoid packing anything flammable, explosive or sharp. This includes things like utility knives, razor blades, flares and aerosol cans. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, tennis rackets and objects considered weapons, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Opt for comfort before fashion when flying. Layer up 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.
  • Consider wearing compression socks or tights to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This condition is a result of blood clotting that can be caused by prolonged periods of sitting, especially on long flights. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat or walking around the cabin are great ways to improve your circulation.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Columbia?
The key to booking a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to Columbia is to be flexible. You can increase your chances of landing an incredible deal if you’re not tied to specific flight times, airlines and travel dates. 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 Columbia?
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.
