Do you have any tips for my flight to Scotland?
If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your getaway in Scotland. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Scotland?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Scotland in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
