Do you have any tips for my flight to Whalsay?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Whalsay could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Whalsay?
A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Whalsay a breeze. Check out our handy tips for a swift journey through security:
  • Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
