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

  • What you pack in your carry-on bag can make the difference between a comfortable flight, and one that leaves you drained. Start with the most important stuff, like a valid ID (like your passport) and your travel documents. Once they’re packed, toss in any medications you might need. Next? Think about comfort. A neck pillow, noise-canceling headphones and a juicy novel will help the hours fly by while you’re cruising at altitude.
  • Don’t forget there’s also a list of prohibited items for your hand luggage which can differ between carriers and flight routes. Generally, avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like utility knives, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects considered weapons, such as batons and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Whether traveling short or long-haul, layering up is key to staying comfortable. Wear loose fitting, breathable fabrics that will keep you fresh and bring a sweater to cope with any in-flight cabin temperature changes. Your feet will be happiest in a pair of sneakers or flat 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 perform foot and leg exercises in your seat. If you’re at higher risk of developing DVT, think about wearing compression socks or tights.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Santa Maria?
Booking a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to Santa Maria is as easy as having some flexibility with your travel plans. Have some wiggle room with your choice of airline, travel dates and flight times. If your destination has a few airports, compare the prices of jetting into each of them for the best deal.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Santa Maria?
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.
