Do you have any tips for my flight to Rapid City?

  • Wherever you’re headed, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re properly prepared. Firstly, pack your passport (or a valid ID), travel documents and medications. Next, throw in a little extra in-flight entertainment to help make the time fly by. A good read and a tablet filled with your favorite series are fantastic options. If you’re hoping to catch some z’s, a neck pillow and noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy.
  • There’s a list of items you should not pack in your carry-on too. Flammables, explosives and sharps are strictly prohibited in the cabin — they often include knives, razor blades, flares and aerosol cans. Some sporting equipment, such as baseball bats and martial arts weapons like nunchucks, also generally can’t go in your hand luggage. Your airline’s website will have all the details about what you can and can’t take on board.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft aren’t suitable for a fashion show. Layer up in comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and bring a sweater as it can get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are ideal for longer journeys.
  • The condition known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Wandering up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated can help prevent this developing. Wearing compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Rapid City?
The key to finding a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to Rapid City is to remain flexible. You can land an excellent deal if you’re not tied to specific travel dates, flight times and airlines. 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 Rapid City?
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.
