Do you have any tips for my flight to Hay River?

Accepted Answer

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Hay River escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Hay River?

Accepted Answer

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Hay River a breeze. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often 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 quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
