  • 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.

  • 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!
