Do you have any tips for my flight to Richmond?

  • Get your trip off to a promising start by being well prepared. Pack your passport or ID, travel documents and medications first. Next, consider downloading your favorite series on your tablet or phone for a sans-guilt binge session. Or, throw in that fantasy bestseller you’ve been wanting to read. Lastly, a snack or two and a quality neck pillow will go a long way to making your trip as comfy as possible.
  • It also pays to check with your airline regarding what you can’t bring on board your flight. Razor blades, pocket knives, swords and batons are among the prohibited items. Anything explosive, flammable or sharp is generally not allowed in your carry-on bags. Don’t forget to pack any sports equipment like baseball bats or ski poles only in your checked luggage.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft aren’t designed for a fashion show. Layer up in comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and pack a hoodie since it can get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are the best type of footwear for longer journeys.
  • Reduce your risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition which can be caused by sitting for extended periods, by regularly walking around the cabin. Alternatively, do some lower limb exercises in your seat. If you’re at higher risk of developing DVT, think about wearing compression socks.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Richmond?
The key to finding a cheap last-minute flight to Richmond is being flexible. You can snap up a fantastic deal if you’re not tied to specific flight times, airlines and travel dates. Also compare the prices of flying out of and into alternative airports if that’s an option.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Richmond?
