How to survive the flight to South Ronaldsay?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a stress-free start to your time in South Ronaldsay.What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
  • The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and take a sweater in case it gets cool. Pick roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to South Ronaldsay?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to South Ronaldsay easy and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:
  • Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
