How to survive the flight to Richmond?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and discovering Richmond in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

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 compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be the goal when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Richmond?
The secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Richmond before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
