Do you have any tips for my flight to Richmond?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Richmond escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Richmond?
Being organised before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Richmond quick and painless. Below are some handy tips for a swift journey past security:
  • Keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
