Travel Tips

  • ⛰ Check Your Weather Apps

    Before boarding your flight from Atlanta to Whistler, be sure to check the weather conditions at both your departure and arrival destinations. Whistler can have rapid weather changes, particularly in the winter, and knowing what to expect can help you dress appropriately and pack any necessary gear.

  • 📍 Plan for Altitude Adjustment

    Whistler has an elevation of over 2,000 feet. If you're not used to higher elevations, consider staying hydrated and avoiding excessive alcohol intake on the flight to minimize symptoms of altitude sickness upon arrival.

  • 🚍 Cultural Insights: Embrace the Local Vibe

    Prepare for an immersive cultural experience on your trip. Familiarize yourself with Canadian customs, such as tipping norms (typically 15-20%) and greetings. A simple 'hello' can go a long way in making connections with locals once you arrive.

  • 🎭 Pack Smart for Ski Gear

    If you're bringing ski equipment, check your airline's policies on oversized baggage. Consider shipping your gear ahead of time or renting locally to save space. Ensure you have a sturdy suitcase for your traveling clothes that can double as a place for your ski gear as you transition from urban Atlanta to the snowy mountains.

  • 🏛 Take Advantage of In-Flight Services

    Many airlines offer services that cater to outdoor adventurers. Inquire about connecting with local Whistler information or skiing tips through in-flight entertainment or onboard magazines, allowing you to plan your first day of adventure while in the air.
