Question 8

How to survive the flight to Whistler?

Accepted Answer

Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Whistler could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

Question 9

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Whistler?

Accepted Answer

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Whistler, here you come:

Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
