Do you have any tips for my flight to Elgin?

  • What you pack in your carry-on bag can be the difference between a comfortable flight, and one that leaves you tired. Start with the most important things, such as your passport (or a valid ID) and your travel documents. Once they’re packed, toss in any medications you might need. Next? It’s all about comfort. A quality neck pillow, earphones and a good book will help the hours fly by while you’re in your seat.
  • It also pays to check with your airline regarding what you can’t bring on board your flight. Swords, batons, box cutters, razor blades and knives are among the prohibited items. Anything explosive, sharp or flammable is generally not allowed in your carry-on baggage. Remember to pack any sports equipment like ski poles or baseball bats in your checked luggage.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort instead of fashion when flying. Dress in layers and wear natural fabrics since they allow air and moisture to pass through and keep you cool. Cabin temperatures can get cold on long-haul flights, so bring a sweater and always wear sneakers or flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Wandering up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot stretches while seated can help prevent this developing. Wearing compression socks or tights can also help to reduce your risk.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Elgin?
Securing a cheap, last-minute flight to Elgin is as simple as having some flexibility with your travel plans. Keep your options open when it comes to your choice of carrier, travel dates and flight times. 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 airfare.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Elgin?
