Do you have any tips for my flight to El Tanque?

  • What you pack in your cabin baggage can make the difference between a comfortable flight, and one that leaves you drained. Start with the important stuff, like a valid ID (like your passport) and your travel documents. Once they’re packed, put in any medications you might need. Next, think about comfort. Earplugs, a quality neck pillow and a novel will help the time fly by while you’re in the air.
  • Don’t forget there’s also a list of prohibited items for your hand luggage which differs between carriers. Generally, avoid carrying anything flammable, explosive or sharp. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, flares and aerosol cans. Sports equipment like baseball bats, ski poles and objects that could harm passengers, such as batons and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft aren’t suitable for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a hoodie since it can get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Sneakers or other closed-toe shoes are best for longer journeys.
  • The condition known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It’s the result of blood clotting caused by poor circulation and inactivity. Strolling up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot stretches while seated can prevent it developing. Wearing compression tights or socks can also help to lower your risk.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to El Tanque?
If you want to nab a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to El Tanque, flexibility is important. If you can, have a bit of wiggle room with the dates you plan to fly. It will also help to have a degree of flexibility with your airports, choice of carrier, flight times and possible stops or layovers.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to El Tanque?
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.
