You'll need a 6-character booking reference (PNR) and a valid travel document (passport or EU/EEA national ID).

Common Loganair check-in problems
Small aircraft = strict carry-on size
Problem: Many Loganair routes use small turboprops (Saab 340, ATR 42) with very limited overhead bin space. Standard 8 kg carry-on may need to be gate-checked.
Solution: Pack soft bag for carry-on. Loganair often offers free gate-check for full flights — bag returned at destination jet bridge.
Weather-related cancellations to islands
Problem: Routes to Shetland (Sumburgh), Orkney (Kirkwall), Stornoway, Benbecula, Barra are weather-sensitive. Cancellations during winter storms.
Solution: Always book flexibility. Travel insurance for island flights essential. Loganair will rebook on next available — typically next-day.
