How to survive the flight to Kirkwall?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Kirkwall could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
  • A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Kirkwall?
The answer is simple — be organised. We’ve rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Kirkwall, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • There’s a possibility that you’ll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
