Do you have any tips for my flight to Fairbanks?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Fairbanks in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Fairbanks?
The trick is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Fairbanks in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
