Delta's new Delta One suites will feature a flat bed expanded by more than three inches, a custom cushion designed to act like an in-air mattress, and a new cubby for shoe storage, enhancing passenger comfort on long-haul flights.

TSA PreCheck is a program that vets US travelers to give them access to an expedited screening lane at the airport security checkpoint. Members do not need to remove large electronics or liquids from their carry-on bags, and they can keep on light jackets and belts, too, saving precious time before a flight.

United Airlines' unveiling of its Polaris business-class cabin marked a significant shift in the industry, as sliding-door suites have become essential for US carriers competing for premium revenue.

When traveling by air, take a look at the type of aircraft you're expected to fly with, as it can make a difference in terms of overall flight experience. This can also help you get to know the different cabin classes so you can make the right seat selection for your comfort level and your wallet.

The 10% packing rule is a two-day process where I'll pack one day, including all those things I think I need for the trip - the extra T-shirts, or the pair of shorts I throw in even though I already packed one - and then I'll come back the next day and simply remove 10% of the items. It helps me narrow down my packing to the items I actually need, and it trims the fat of any excess.

When it comes to travel, my dad-a doctor of 25 years-has always preached one rule: be prepared for the unexpected. Whether it's a change in weather, a delayed flight, or the occasional upset stomach, he insists that having the right items on hand can make all the difference. Over the years, I've learned to follow his advice. That's why I always pack a small "just in case" bag in my carry-on suitcase.
