Do you have any tips for my flight to Scalloway?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Scalloway could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Scalloway?
Being organised before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Scalloway easy and painless. We've compiled some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
