Do you have any tips for my flight to Port Ellen?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Port Ellen in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Port Ellen?
A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Port Ellen a pleasure. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:
  • Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
