Do you have any tips for my flight to Whistler?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Whistler could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Whistler?
Being organised before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Whistler a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

  • Be sure to have your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.

Which Airport Should I Fly to for Whistler?

Whistler doesn’t have a commercial airport of its own.

Which Airlines Fly to Whistler?

A large number of quality airlines fly to Vancouver International direct from London Heathrow in the UK, including American Airlines, Air Canada, British Airways and Lufthansa. If you are travelling from another UK airport, you may have to stop elsewhere en route. There are dozens of different flight options and stopovers to choose from, enabling you to cherry-pick the combination that best suits you and your travel plans in Whistler.

How to Find the Cheapest Whistler Flights

If you don’t mind a longer flight, book a Whistler flight with a single stop. It’s less convenient than flying direct, but if you’re on a budget it could save you a significant amount – which means more to spend on skiing and après-ski! It also helps to be flexible with dates and flight times; Whistler flights that depart early in the morning or late at night are often cheaper.
