Do you have any tips for my flight to Johnston?

  • Get your trip off to a promising start by being well prepared. Pack your passport or ID, travel documents and medications first. After that, consider downloading the latest movies on your tablet or phone for a guilt-free binge session. Or, throw in that bestseller you’ve been wanting to read. Lastly, a snack or two and a neck pillow will help make the trip as comfortable as possible.
  • There’s a list of items you shouldn’t pack in your carry-on baggage too. Sharps, flammables and explosives are strictly prohibited in the cabin — they often include knives of any sort, 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 bring on board.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort before fashion when flying. Dress in layers and wear natural materials since they allow moisture and air to pass through and keep you cool. Cabins can get colder on longer journeys, so pack a hoodie or similar and always wear sneakers or enclosed shoes.
  • Lessen your risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition which can be caused by sitting for extended periods, by regularly walking around the cabin. You can also 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 Johnston?
To score a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to Johnston, aim to be flexible. If you can, have a bit of wiggle room with your travel dates. It also pays to leave your options open with your airports, airline choice, flight times and potential stops or layovers.
