Do you have any tips for my flight to Portland?

  • Get your vacation off to the best start possible by being prepared. Pack the important stuff — like travel documents, your passport and any medications you need — first. After that, think about downloading your favorite series on your tablet or phone for a binge session sans guilt. Or, toss in that juicy bestseller you’ve been saving for a rainy day. Lastly, a snack or two and a good neck pillow will help make the flight as comfy as possible.
  • You’ll also want to check with your airline regarding what you can’t bring on board your flight. Pocket knives, razor blades, swords and batons are among the prohibited items. Anything sharp, flammable or explosive is generally not allowed in your hand baggage. Remember to pack any sports equipment like baseball bats or ski poles in your checked luggage.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Whether traveling short or long-haul, layering up is key to staying comfortable. Choose loose, breathable fabrics that will keep you fresh and pack a sweater to cope with any in-flight cabin temperature variations. Keep your feet happy in a pair of closed-toe shoes or sneakers.
  • Lessen your risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition which can be caused by sitting for extended periods, by regularly moving around the cabin. Alternatively, do some gentle 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 Portland?
Securing a cheap, last-minute flight to Portland is as easy as having some flexibility with your travel plans. Have some wiggle room when it comes to your flight times, travel dates and choice of airline. If your destination has a few airports to choose from, compare the prices of jetting into each of them for the best deal on your fare.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Portland?
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.
