How to survive the flight to Rankin Inlet?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Rankin Inlet could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We’ve put together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right things. First of all you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
  • It’s likely you’ve heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rankin Inlet?
Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Rankin Inlet a breeze. Check out our handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
