Do you have any tips for my flight to Virginia?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Virginia holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Virginia?
It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Virginia, here you come:

  • Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
