Do you have any tips for my flight to Long Island?

  • What you pack in your carry-on can make the difference between a comfortable flight, and a restless one. Start with the crucial things, like a valid ID (like your passport) and your travel documents. Once they’re safely packed, put in any medications you might need. Next? It’s all about comfort factor. A quality neck pillow, earplugs and the latest bestseller will help the hours fly by while you’re soaring through the sky.
  • There’s a lengthy list of items you should not pack in your carry-on bag too. Explosives, flammables and sharps are strictly prohibited in the cabin — they often include knives, razor blades, flares and aerosol cans. 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:

  • Choose comfort rather than fashion when flying. Layer up and wear natural fabrics 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 pullover and always wear sneakers or enclosed shoes.
  • The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting caused by poor circulation and inactivity. Wandering up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated can help prevent this developing. Wearing compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Long Island?
The key to tracking down a cheap last-minute flight to Long Island is to remain flexible. You can nab a fantastic deal if you’re not tied to specific carriers, flight times and travel dates. Also compare the prices of flying into and out of alternative airports if that’s an option.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Long Island?
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.
