Do you have any tips for my flight to Richmond?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Richmond vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Richmond?
It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Richmond, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
