Do you have any tips for my flight to Waterloo?

  • Get your vacation off to a promising start by being well prepared. Pack your passport or ID, travel documents and medications first. Next, think about downloading some new movies on your tablet or phone for a guiltless binge session. Or, toss in that novel you’ve been saving for a rainy day. Lastly, a snack to nibble on and a neck pillow will go a long way to making your flight as comfy as possible.
  • There’s a list of items you shouldn’t pack in your carry-on baggage too. Flammables, explosives and sharps are strictly prohibited in the cabin — they often include razor blades, box cutters, aerosol cans and flares. Some sporting equipment, like baseball bats and martial arts weapons, also generally can’t go in your hand luggage. Visit your airline’s website for details about what you can and can’t bring on board.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over fashion when flying. Layer up and wear natural fabrics as they allow air and moisture to pass through and keep you cool. Cabin temperatures can get cold on long-haul flights, so pack a pullover and always wear sneakers or enclosed shoes.
  • Reduce 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. Otherwise, do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat. If you’re at higher risk of developing DVT, consider wearing compression socks.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Waterloo?
Securing a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to Waterloo is as easy as being flexible with your travel plans. Keep your options open when it comes to your flight times, travel dates and choice of carrier. If your destination has a few airports to choose from, compare the prices of flying into each of them for the best deal on your fare.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Waterloo?
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.
