Do you have any tips for my flight to Cambridge Bay?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Cambridge Bay in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cambridge Bay?
It's easy --- be prepared. We've put together some top tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Cambridge Bay, here you come:

  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
