Do you have any tips for my flight to Richmond?
If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a hassle-free start to your holiday in Richmond. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination 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 air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Richmond?
It's all about being prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Richmond, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
