  • 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.

  • 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.

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.
