The Isle of Islay is the southernmost isle of Scotland’s Inner Hebrides, a truly spectacular region of a country that is known for its dramatic and beautiful landscapes. The island is serviced by the Islay Airport (ILY), which operates flights exclusively to other islands and the mainland of Scotland, and is located approximately 5 miles from the largest town of Port Ellen. Those hoping to travel throughout the Inner Hebrides can also use the CalMac ferry system, which uses the harbour in Port Ellen.

Flights to the Isle of Islay (ILY)

The Isle of Islay is only home to one local airport, and those hoping to fly in and out of its single terminal can choose between the destinations of Colonsay, Oban, and Glasgow. If you’re arriving at Islay Airport, you will find it easy to reach the main town of Port Ellen, as there are taxi services, car hire services, and a public bus service that can provide you with transportation to and from various destinations on the island. Remember, travellers using Expedia can easily research the cheapest available flights to and from Islay Airport, as well as discover the best deals on local hotels and car hire services to use throughout their stay.

Why Fly to the Isle of Islay?

Known as the “Queen of the Hebrides” for both its mild climate and picturesque views, the Isle of Islay is a serene destination that is not overrun by tourists. However, those who do head here for their holiday will find the locals to be plenty welcoming.

The island is also known throughout the world for its famous whisky, produced with the unique flavour of the “Islay malts”. Such iconic brands as Bowmore, Laphroaig and Ardbeg have their distilleries on the island, and budding bon vivants would do well to pay them a visit. With a number of quaint towns and villages such as Port Ellen, Port Charlotte, and Port Askaig, Islay will provide you with a wonderful scenery to relax and unwind in.

Those planning a visit to Islay should also consider touring the neighbouring Isle of Jura, whose much more austere and mountainous terrain contrasts heavily with the bounty of Islay. Jura provides visitors with rich insights into the diversity of landscapes found throughout the Hebrides. Similarly to Islay, Jura is also well known for its production of fine whiskies, and would make another perfect stop on a whisky tour of Scotland.

Flying Into Islay Airport

Because Islay Airport is small, and only operates a handful of flights a day, visitors should not worry about any crowds at the airport. Nor should they be concerned with having to wait in line for transportation upon arrival. However, if you’re looking to hire a car for your time on Islay, be sure to contact the car hire company in advance. You can ensure both that a car is available upon arrival, and that you receive the best possible price on your rental.

To begin planning your tour of Scotland’s Hebrides, and discover all the excellent attractions that this scenic part of the country has to offer, start by using the Expedia search tool now.

How to survive the flight to Islay Island?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you’ll be breezing through the airport and exploring Islay Island in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and take a jacket just in case you get chilly. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Islay Island?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Islay Island, here you come:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don’t have to dig around for them.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
