Do you have any tips for my flight to Yellowknife?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Yellowknife vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Yellowknife?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Yellowknife, here you come:
  • Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item 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-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
