Do you have any tips for my flight to Columbus?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Columbus escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Columbus?
It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Columbus, here you come:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand 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 inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
