How to survive the flight to Oban?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you’ll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Oban before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you’ll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don’t forget to pack a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Oban?
Being organised before your flight can make your trip to Oban a piece of cake. Check out our handy hints for a swift journey through security:

  • Have your travel documents and passport close by. They’re the first items you’ll be asked for by security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
