Do you have any tips for my flight to Shetland?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Shetland in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Shetland?
Being organised before your flight will make your trip to Shetland quick and painless. Below you'll find some top tips for a swift journey through security:

  • First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favourite hand cream? 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 can bring it with you on board.
  • There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Airlines won't 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.
