How to survive the flight to Shapinsay?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your vacation in Shapinsay.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

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 flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your main priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
  • You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Shapinsay?
Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Shapinsay a breeze. Read through our top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
