Do you have any tips for my flight to Columbus?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Columbus could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Columbus?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Columbus quick and painless. Read through our handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

  • First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
