Picking up cheap flights to Shetland Islands is as simple as booking your ticket with Orbitz. But if you'd like to make sure you're grabbing the best flight deals around, here are some tips to keep your wallet happy:

  • Taking off from or arriving at nearby airports can sometimes be cheaper. Enter your preferred departure and arrival points. Next, click on the 'Nearby airports' function below the form fields to look through your options.
  • Also, click on the 'Show flexible dates' link to view the prices on days either side of your selected departure. You may be able to pick up cheaper flight deals if your travel dates are flexible.
  • You can also use the 'Show options' function to filter results for your preferred airline, seating class, nonstop flights and refundable flights. Under 'Sort & Filter' to the left, you can even pick the time of day you'd prefer to fly.
  • The early bird gets the most impressive deals, so book as soon as you know your travel dates. The cheapest fares get snapped up first and prices normally climb as the departure date nears.
  • Bundle your hotels, flights and car rental into a money-saving package deal. Save your hard-earned money for things you're really excited about, like exploring every corner of Shetland Islands.
  • Flying during peak season often means costly airfares. Try to vacation outside of popular periods, such as Easter, Thanksgiving and school breaks.

Any lengthy flight can seem daunting, but it's nothing a little preparation can't fix. We've made a list of our top suggestions to ensure your journey flows without a hitch:

  • You'll need to present photo identification such as your passport. To avoid delays while checking in, make sure you reserve your tickets under the same name as your government-issued ID. It's worth having digital copies of your travel documents too, just to be safe!
  • If you're flying direct to Shetland Islands, it's likely you're going to be in the air for quite some time. Take lots of snacks and entertainment to keep you amused. Now is the time to pick up that novel you've been eyeing off!
  • Long-haul trips are known to get very cold, especially if you're flying throughout the night. If you prefer not to spend your journey shivering in your seat, pack an extra layer and some wool socks.

  • Plenty of budget carriers nowadays have outstanding business or premium-class seating that doesn't cost a bundle.
  • Make a bid for an upgrade. Some carriers hold online auctions that let you put down a price for a seat up the front. You may also be able to upgrade with points earned through a rewards program.
