Question 10

How to survive the flight to Columbus?

Accepted Answer

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Columbus escape started on the right note.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and take a pullover in case it gets cool. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

Question 11

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

Accepted Answer

The answer is simple — be organised. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Columbus, here you come:

Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
