Question 10

How to survive the flight to Rousay?

Accepted Answer

If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Rousay.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rousay?

Accepted Answer

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Rousay, here you come:

Be sure to have your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
