Question 10

How to survive the flight to Richmond?

Accepted Answer

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Richmond escape started on the right foot.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

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 sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Richmond?

Accepted Answer

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Richmond, here you come:

Be sure to have your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
