Do you have any tips for my flight to Richmond?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Richmond could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • A plane trip can be easy if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Richmond?
It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Richmond, here you come:
  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
