How to survive the flight to Cambridge Bay?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you’ll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Cambridge Bay in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and bring a sweater in case you get cold. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
  • You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There’s plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cambridge Bay?
It’s easy — be prepared. We’ve compiled some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Cambridge Bay, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
  • Don’t forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
