Do you have any tips for my flight to Cairnryan?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Cairnryan in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • A plane trip can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cairnryan?
Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Cairnryan quick and painless. Read through our handy hints for a swift journey past security:
  • Have your ID and travel documents close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
