Do you have any tips for my flight to Columbus?

  • Wherever your journey is taking you, flying can be a relaxing experience if you come prepared. First of all, pack your travel documents, passport and medications. Next, toss in some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A good book and a tablet filled with the latest movies are a couple of good options. If you want to nap, a blow-up neck pillow and noise-canceling headphones are also worth packing.
  • There’s a lengthy list of items you should not pack in your carry-on too. Flammables, sharps and explosives are strictly prohibited in the cabin — they can include knives of any sort, flares and aerosol cans. Some sporting equipment, like baseball bats and martial arts weapons, also generally can’t go in your hand luggage. Check your airline’s website for details about what you can and can’t bring on board.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren’t the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy, loose-fitting clothing and pack a pullover as it can get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are best for longer journeys.
  • The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting caused by poor circulation and inactivity. Wandering up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot stretches while seated can prevent it developing. Wearing compression socks or tights can also help to lessen your risk.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Columbus?
Getting a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to Columbus is as easy as having some flexibility with your travel plans. Leave your options open when it comes to your choice of airline, flight times and travel dates. If your destination has a few airports, compare the prices of flying into each of them for the best deal.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Columbus?
Most flights are free to cancel within 24 hours of making the reservation. However, some flights are non-refundable, and you may receive a flight credit from the airline to use for a future booking. For more information, please visit our Customer Service Portal.
