Do you have any tips for my flight to Columbus?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Columbus could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Columbus?
The secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Columbus in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
