Do you have any tips for my flight to Alotau?

  • Get your trip off to a great start by being prepared. Pack your travel documents, passport and medications first. After that, think about downloading a few blockbuster movies on your tablet for a sans-guilt binge session. Or, toss in that juicy bestseller you’ve been eager to read. Lastly, a few healthy snacks and a memory-foam neck pillow will go a long way to making the journey as comfortable as possible.
  • There’s a lengthy list of items you should not pack in your carry-on bag too. Explosives, flammables and sharps are strictly prohibited in the cabin — they can include box cutters, razor blades, 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. Check your airline’s website for details about what you can and can’t take on board.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort before fashion when flying. Layer up and wear natural fabrics since they allow air and moisture to pass through and keep you cool. Cabin temperatures typically get cooler on long-haul flights, so pack a sweater and always wear sneakers or enclosed shoes.
  • Consider wearing compression socks or tights to help prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This blood clotting condition can be caused by extended periods of sitting, especially on long-distance flights. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat or walking around the cabin are great ways to improve your circulation.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Alotau?
Booking a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to Alotau is as easy as being flexible with your travel plans. Have some leeway with your travel dates, flight times and choice of carrier. If your destination has multiple airports, compare the prices of flying into each of them for the best deal.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Alotau?
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.
