Do you have any tips for my flight to Shantou?

  • What you pack in your hand luggage can be the difference between a comfortable flight, and a not-so-great one. Start with the most important stuff, like a valid ID (like your passport) and your travel documents. Once they’re packed, put in any medications you might need. Next? It’s all about comfort. Earplugs, a quality neck pillow and a juicy novel will help the time fly by while you’re cruising at altitude.
  • Don’t forget there’s also a list of prohibited items for your hand luggage which can differ between airlines. Generally, avoid bringing anything explosive, sharp or flammable. This includes things like knives, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, baseball bats and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft aren’t designed for a fashion show. Layer up with comfortable clothes and pack a sweater since it can get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Sneakers or other closed-toe shoes are ideal for longer journeys.
  • Consider wearing compression tights or socks 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 flights. Performing foot and leg exercises in your seat or wandering around the cabin will help improve your circulation.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Shantou?
If you want to land a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to Shantou, flexibility is key. If you can, have a little wiggle room with your travel dates. It’s also a good idea to have some leeway with your departure and arrival points, airline choice, flight times and potential layovers or stops.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Shantou?
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.
