Do you have any tips for my flight to Columbus?

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Columbus. What to pack in your hand luggage:

It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Columbus?

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Columbus a breeze. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
