How to survive the flight to Port Ellen?
If you’re poorly prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your holiday in Port Ellen.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be easy if you’ve got all the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There’s lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Port Ellen?
It’s easy — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Port Ellen, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
