Do you have any tips for my flight to Castlebay?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Castlebay before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Castlebay in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

  • Keep your ID and travel documents handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.

Flights to Castlebay (BRR) on Barra

The Isle of Barra is one of the most southerly of the Outer Hebrides and is easily reached by air. The airport at Castlebay is in fact a beach, which gives visitors to the island a unique introduction to this scenic and charming place. In fact, it is the only airport in the world that uses a beach for scheduled flights. Just don’t expect to fly out at high tide!

The island is predominantly Gaelic speaking and has a number of white sandy beaches to explore and tranquil grassy plains, known as machair, to visit and enjoy. Barra is also rich in archaeology with the remains of a number of brochs, circular stone structures dating back to the Iron Age, visible across the island. Finally, Barra is home to a new distillery, which will soon produce one of the few whiskies available from the Outer Hebrides.

The seat of the ancient Clan McNeil, Barra has a wealth of history to uncover. Much of the island’s story is chronicled at the Dualchas heritage centre. The island also has its own 9-hole golf course at the Barra Golf Club. Barra is encircled by the A888 ring road that makes traversing the island easy and lets you cross from one coast to the other in no time.

South of Barra is Vatersay, the most southern of the inhabited islands. Vatersay is connected to Barra via a causeway and is worth visiting for the beautiful Vatersay Beach. There are regular ferries from the mainland as well as regular journeys from Barra to Lochboisdale on South Uist.
