I have flown into Whitehorse several times in the last few years, and will be doing so again in Sept. I have flown out of San Francisco through Vancouver and Calgary. If you have a choice try to avoid Vancouver, the airport is pretty screwed up and so are the people running security and boarding. I have used AirCanada and not had any of the big problems you often hear about. I try to arrive 2 days before my hunt, to allow the airline time to find my lost luggage. They have been pretty good, if your baggage doesn't make your flight it is usually in the next day, but if you have to start your hunt on that day, you are screwed. I also book my return flight out 2 days after my hunt ends, if you get weathered in and don't make your original flight the airline really socks it to you. I also wear my hunting boots on the plane as you can buy or borrow anything except broken in boots. Hope this helps and you have a good hunt. Mike T.
