How to survive the flight to Columbus?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Columbus could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We’ve put together some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It’s also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don’t forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your prime concern when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Columbus?
The trick is to be well organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Columbus in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Sharp items are not allowed on board. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
