A fixed-wing plane can’t pause in the sky; it stays up by moving through air, so if thrust drops it slows, then glides or descends until speed returns. You’ve probably seen a clip where clouds drift past and someone says the plane “stopped.” Or you’ve felt a long, quiet stretch on a flight and wondered […]

A water filter is allowed on flights in carry-on or checked bags when it’s clean, dry, protected from crushing, and any batteries are packed the right way. You’re not the only one who’s asked this. A water filter feels like a “gear” item, but it can also look unfamiliar on an X-ray. The good news:

Yes, you can keep eyeglasses on at most checkpoints, and an officer may only ask you to remove them if screening flags something.

Yes, Bonvoy points can cover flights by converting to airline miles or by paying for airfare through Marriott’s flight tools. If you’ve built up a pile of Marriott Bonvoy points, it’s normal to wonder if they can do more than hotel nights. The answer is yes, and there are two main ways it plays out:

Most air pumps are allowed on flights, and the deciding factor is the power source, battery size, and any gas cartridges you pack with it. If you’re flying with a bike, an air mattress, pool gear, or even a compact tire inflator, the question comes up fast: where does the pump go, and what parts
