Do you have any tips for my flight to Fairbanks?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Fairbanks could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

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 screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Fairbanks?
A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Fairbanks a breeze. Below you'll find some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Have your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off 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 through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
