Do you have any tips for my flight to Hayward?

  • Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a wonderful experience if you’re prepared. First of all, pack your passport (or a valid ID), travel documents and medications. Next, toss in a little extra in-flight entertainment to help make the time fly by. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite series are good choices. If you’re hoping to catch some z’s, a neck pillow and headphones are also worth packing.
  • There’s also a list of prohibited items for your hand luggage which can differ between airlines. As a general rule, avoid packing anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like razor blades, utility knives, flares and aerosol cans. Sports equipment like ski poles, baseball bats and objects that could harm passengers, such as batons and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Opt for comfort over fashion when flying. Dress in layers and wear natural materials as they allow moisture and air to pass through and keep you cool. Cabin temperatures typically get cooler on long-haul journeys, so bring a sweater and always wear sneakers or flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting caused by inactivity and poor circulation. Wandering up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot stretches while seated can help prevent this developing. Wearing compression socks or tights can also help to reduce your risk.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Hayward?
The key to picking up a cheap last-minute flight to Hayward is to remain flexible. You can boost your chances of scoring a fantastic deal if you’re not tied to specific carriers, travel dates and flight times. Also compare the prices of flying into and out of alternative airports if that’s a possibility.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Hayward?
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.
