Do you have any tips for my flight to Santa Elena?

  • What you pack in your carry-on can mean the difference between a comfortable flight, and one you’d prefer to forget. Start with the important stuff, like your passport (or a valid ID) and your travel documents. Once they’re safely packed, throw in any medications you might need. Next? It’s all about the comfort factor. A neck pillow, noise-canceling headphones and a book will help the time fly by while you’re soaring above the clouds.
  • There’s a lengthy list of items you should not pack in your carry-on too. Flammables, sharps and explosives are strictly prohibited in the cabin — they often include razor blades, box cutters, flares and aerosol cans. 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:

  • Opt for comfort rather than fashion when flying. Layer up and wear natural fabrics since they allow moisture and air to pass through and keep you cool. Cabin temperatures typically get cooler on long-haul journeys, so bring a sweater 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 lengthy periods, by regularly moving around the cabin. You can also do some lower limb exercises in your seat. If you’re at higher risk of developing DVT, consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Santa Elena?
The key to tracking down a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to Santa Elena is to remain flexible. You can nab a fantastic deal if you’re not tied to specific carriers, travel dates and flight times. Also compare the prices of flying out of and into alternative airports if that’s a possibility.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Santa Elena?
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.
