Do you have any tips for my flight to Champaign?

  • What you pack in your carry-on luggage can make the difference between a comfortable flight, and a not-so-great one. Start with the most important things, such as your passport (or a valid ID) and your travel documents. Once they’re packed, throw in any medications you might need. Next? Think about comfort. A quality neck pillow, earplugs and the latest bestseller will help the hours fly by while you’re in your seat.
  • There’s a list of items you shouldn’t pack in your carry-on too. Flammables, sharps 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:

  • Choose comfort rather than fashion when flying. Dress in layers and wear natural fabrics as they allow air and moisture to pass through and keep you cool. Cabin temperatures typically get cooler on long-haul journeys, so pack a pullover and always wear sneakers or flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • Lessen your risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition which can be caused by sitting for long periods of time, by regularly walking around the cabin. Otherwise, do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat. If you’re at higher risk of developing DVT, think about wearing compression socks.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Champaign?
Securing a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to Champaign is as simple as having some flexibility with your travel plans. Leave your options open with your travel dates, flight times and choice of airline. If your destination has a few airports, compare the prices of flying into each of them for the best deal on your airfare.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Champaign?
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.
