Traveling can be great — but the wholenavigating the airport part? Less exciting, and sometimes pretty stressful.
To help make your time at Richmond International Airport as smooth as possible, we’ve created a guide that covers everything from gates and parking to details on the airport’s nonstop flights.
Nonstop flights
Richmond offers ~150 daily domestic flights that go to six US regions. Nonstop options include New York, Dallas, Boston, Chicago, Sarasota, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas. Most recently, Tweed-New Haven, Connecticut was added as a destination.
Further, RIC added a new international nonstop flight to Bermuda, a first for the airport in a decade. This flight path begins on June 7, 2025 via BermudAir.
The other air carriers that serve RIC are: Allegiant, American Airlines, Breeze Airways, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue Airways, Southwest Airlines, Spirit Airlines, Sun Country Airlines, and United Airlines.
