If you like soft landings, book a flight from Glasgow to the island of Barra, in the Outer Hebrides in Scotland - where your plane will touch down not on tarmac, but on a sandy beach.
The beach in question is Traigh Mor, a semicircular bay so large it can accommodate three "runways" - marked at each end with wooden posts sticking out of the sand.
Signs warn local cockle-pickers to "keep off the beach when the windsock is flying and the airport is active" - although for most visitors, the main attraction is watching the planes taking off and landing along the open sands.
