How to survive the flight to Columbus?
If you’re poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your time in Columbus.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It’s also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your prime concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
  • A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Columbus?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We’ve compiled some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Columbus, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • 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 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • There’s a chance you’ll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
