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

  • Wherever you’re heading, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re well prepared. First, pack your travel documents, passport and medications. Next, toss in some in-flight entertainment to help the time fly by. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite series are good options. If you’re hoping to get some sleep, a quality neck pillow and earplugs are also worth squeezing in.
  • You’ll also want to check with your airline regarding what you can’t take on board your flight. Batons, swords, box cutters, razor blades and knives are among the prohibited items. Anything explosive, flammable or sharp is generally not allowed in your hand baggage. Don’t forget to pack any sports equipment like tennis rackets or baseball bats only in your checked luggage.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort instead of fashion when flying. Layer up and wear natural fabrics since they allow moisture and air to pass through and keep you cool. Cabin temperatures can get cold on long-haul flights, so bring a pullover and always wear sneakers or flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • Consider wearing compression socks or tights to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This condition is a result of blood clotting that can be caused by prolonged periods of sitting, especially on long journeys. Performing leg and foot exercises in your seat or wandering around the cabin will help improve your circulation.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Redwood City?
The key to picking up a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to Redwood City is flexibility. You can nab an awesome deal if you’re not tied to specific flight times, airlines and travel dates. Also compare the prices of flying out of and into nearby airports if that’s an option.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Redwood 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.
