Do you have any tips for my flight to Hay River?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Hay River vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Hay River?
Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Hay River a breeze. We've compiled some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
