Do you have any tips for my flight to Oban?
If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Oban. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
  • You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Oban?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Oban a pleasure. Read through our top tips for a stress-free journey through security:
  • Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
