  • 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.

  • 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.
