Do you have any tips for my flight to Watson Lake?
If you're not prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Watson Lake. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Watson Lake?
Being organised before your flight will make your trip to Watson Lake a piece of cake. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Travelling with a new hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
