Do you have any tips for my flight to Jaffna?

  • Wherever you’re headed, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’re properly prepared. First of all, pack your travel documents, passport and medications. Next, toss in some extra in-flight entertainment to help the time fly by. A good book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you want to nap, a comfortable neck pillow and headphones are also worth bringing along.
  • There’s a lengthy list of items you should not pack in your carry-on too. Explosives, flammables and sharps are strictly prohibited in the cabin — they can include box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Some sporting equipment, such as baseball bats and martial arts weapons like nunchucks, are also not allowed in your hand luggage. Your airline’s website will have a full list of what you can and can’t take on board.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren’t designed to be a catwalk. Layer up in comfortable clothing and pack a pullover since it can get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Sneakers or enclosed, flat shoes are perfect for longer journeys.
  • Consider wearing compression tights or socks to help prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This condition is a result of blood clotting that can be caused by long periods of sitting, especially on long journeys. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat or walking around the cabin are good ways to improve your circulation.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Jaffna?
To pick up a cheap last-minute flight to Jaffna, aim to be flexible. If you can, have some wiggle room with your travel dates. It also helps to have a degree of flexibility with your departure and arrival airports, choice of airline, flight times and potential stops or layovers.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Jaffna?
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.
