Do you have any tips for my flight to Houston?

  • Wherever you’re headed, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’re prepared. First, pack your travel documents, passport and medications. Next, toss in some extra in-flight entertainment to help make the time fly by. A juicy book and a tablet filled with the latest movies are good choices. If you’re hoping to catch some z’s, a blow-up neck pillow and earplugs will also come in handy.
  • It also pays to check with your airline regarding what you can’t take on board your flight. Utility knives, razor blades, swords and batons are among the prohibited items. Anything explosive, sharp or flammable is generally not allowed in your carry-on bag. Don’t forget to pack any sports equipment like baseball bats or ski poles in your checked luggage.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort instead of fashion when flying. Layer up and wear natural fabrics as they allow moisture and air to pass through and keep you cool. Cabins can get colder on longer journeys, so pack a sweater and always wear sneakers or flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • Lessen your risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition which can be caused by sitting for lengthy periods, by regularly moving around the cabin. Otherwise, do some lower limb exercises in your seat. If you’re at higher risk of developing DVT, think about wearing compression socks.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Houston?
The key to securing a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to Houston is to be flexible. You can snap up an awesome deal if you’re not tied to specific flight times, carriers and travel dates. Also compare the prices of flying into and out of nearby airports if that’s a possibility.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Houston?
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.
