Do you have any tips for my flight to Aberdeen?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Aberdeen escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
  • Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Aberdeen?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Aberdeen quick and painless. Read through our top tips for a speedy journey past security:

  • Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
