How to survive the flight to Scalloway?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re prepared. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Scalloway holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you’ll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
  • A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Scalloway?
The answer is simple — be organised. We’ve put together some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Scalloway, here you come:

  • Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don’t hold up the line.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
  • Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you on board.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
