Heading to the World Cup? Make sure you're ready!

Get set for the World Cup
The start of the World Cup is coming ever closer and Scotland will be taking on Haiti in their opening match on Sunday 14 June.
It's the first game of our march to winning the tournament outright and thousands of you will be heading out to bring some noise and tartan to the games.
You'll be coming, you'll be coming, you'll be coming to the airport. But you need to make sure you've got everything ready for your trip.
Here's our handy checklist to keep you right.
Check-in and have your tickets ready - airline and match
Checking in at home is the easiest way to travel as it means you're almost ready to go as soon as your arrive at the airport, so check with your airline to see if this is available.
You might need to do this when you get here, especially if you have luggage to check-in, but again, see what your airline's advice is. Scroll to the bottom of this article if you want to see when your airline's desk opens.
Make sure you have your boarding pass on your phone or printed (do this at home as there are no printing facilities at the airport), and do not forgot your match tickets if you are lucky enough to have them.
You don't want to be *that* person...
Liquids and tablets in, sporrans off
We awake in the night with a fever...that we can't get you through security as quickly as we want as there are some hold ups. So help us help you by being prepared.
Keep everything in your bag - laptops, tablets, liquids (you're allowed containers of up to two litres) can all stay in your bag thanks to our scanning technology.
Those sporrans will need to come off though. But please keep the kilts on - it's a family airport...
And please be aware that you might need to factor in a wee bit more extra time just to get everything reattached and repositioned.
Hand luggage rules explained: Items you can and can't take through security
π΅ We have a dream,
If dreams come true
That bonny Scotland fans,
Will come to security and move right through π΅
Represent Scotland well - and bring back the trophy
The most important thing is you enjoy it. It's a big tournament and it's a privilege to be able to go and watch your national team take on and beat the world's best so keep that in mind.
We know the experience starts as soon as you arrive here and we want you and your travelling party to enjoy the trip as much as possible. Our staff and our partners are here to add to that so please behave responsibly and keep the noise down. As much as we like a song, we don't think any of you are going to be the next Sharleen Spiteri or Marti Pellow (one for the mums and dads, there).
If anyone in your party is enjoying a drink at the airport or abroad then just make sure you're looking out for each other and keeping it within reason. You're heading there to support Scotland and showing the world that our reputation as fun and well behaved is exactly as they've heard.
π Good luck to Scotland, and we'll see you all at the champions homecoming parade!
