Do you have any tips for my flight to Richmond?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your holiday in Richmond. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Richmond?
The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Richmond in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
