Question 13

How to survive the flight to Richmond?

Accepted Answer

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your getaway in Richmond.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Question 14

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

Accepted Answer

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Richmond, here you come:

Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
