Do you have any tips for my flight to Birsay?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Birsay holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Birsay?
It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Birsay, here you come:

  • Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
