Do you have any tips for my flight to Santee?

  • Wherever you’re going, flying can be a wonderful experience if you come well prepared. Firstly, pack your travel documents, passport and medications. Next, throw in a little extra in-flight entertainment to help make the time fly by. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite series are fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a blow-up neck pillow and headphones are also worth bringing along.
  • Remember that there’s also a list of prohibited items for your hand luggage which can differ between airlines and routes. Generally, avoid carrying anything flammable, explosive or sharp. This includes things like razor blades, knives, flares and aerosol cans. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, ski poles and objects considered weapons, such as batons and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft aren’t designed to be a catwalk. Layer up in comfortable clothing and bring a hoodie since it can get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toe shoes are perfect for longer journeys.
  • 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 long periods of sitting, especially on long journeys. Performing foot and leg exercises in your seat or walking around the cabin are great ways to improve your circulation.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Santee?
Picking up a cheap, last-minute flight to Santee is as easy as having some flexibility with your travel plans. Keep your options open with your choice of airline, flight times and travel dates. If your destination has a few airports, compare the prices of flying into each of them for the best deal on your ticket.
