When to Go and Weather

From daytime highs of about 7°C in the winter, you can easily encounter temperatures well above 30°C in July and August. Since the city also gets quite humid in the summer, most visitors choose to book flights to Richmond in spring or fall, when the weather is pleasant and there are tons of outdoor events held across the city.

Travel in winter or summer if you want to book the cheapest Richmond flights you can find, but bear in mind that there will be fewer outdoor events during these seasons.

Arriving in Richmond

Richmond International Airport (RIC) is a single-terminal airport which has two levels and two concourses. Baggage claim and ground transportation areas are located on Level 1. For further information on the ground transportation options listed below, consult the airport's website.

From there you will have five options for getting into the city:

Public Transit: Bus routes 56 and 28 operated by Greater Richmond Transit Company connect the airport with downtown Richmond, but you might need to transfer to another route depending on your final destination. A one-way minimum fare is less than $2 USD while tickets on express routes can go up to $5 USD. If you plan on doing a great deal of travel via public transit, consider investing in a Go Card that can be topped up based on your usage, or buy a booklet of CARE tickets which get six or ten one-way fares that you can use throughout your stay. Seniors and the disabled are eligible for discounts on all tickets.

Hotel Shuttle: Most major hotels offer shuttle services to their guests arriving on Richmond flights. However, you will need to check if this pick-up service is complimentary or costs extra, and also confirm the meeting point location in advance.

Taxi: Taxi services are provided by seven local companies and can be found outside the central exit on Level 1, near the North and South parking garages. The average fare for a one-way trip to the city centre is about $25 USD.

City Shuttle: Eight rental car kiosks can be found on the lower level of the airport terminal. These are operated by companies such as Advantage, Alamo, Budget, and Enterprise, to name a few.

Chauffeured Car Services: Private operator James River Transportation has counter at the airport for passengers who want to book chauffeured sedans and limousines. You can also book these services in advance through other companies like CMC Ground Transportation and Richmond Limousine, but remember to confirm the pick-up location before you travel as most of these companies do not have on-site customer service desks.
