TRAVELING BY PLANE

The flight arrangements are made in advance by the site coordinator. An email confirming transportation is usually sent 2 weeks prior to the departure date. If you haven’t received it, contact the site coordinator.

    • Departure is from Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport. You pick up your ticket on the day of travel from the First Air counter. You should confirm your flight 24 hours prior to the departure with First Air as flights can be delayed due to weather constraints.
    • The flight leaves early morning on the first Monday of your rotation and the return flight is the last Friday afternoon of your rotation. It is recommended that you arrive at least 2 hours in advance.
    • Checked luggage is restricted to 23 kg. Extra fees may be charged for exceeding this limit.
    • It is recommended that you bring snacks on board as usually a light meal is served.
    • Once at the destination, make sure that the luggage is unloaded.
    • There will be a van-taxi waiting to bring you to the hospital, which is a 5 minute drive. Even though, the driver has your name, we recommend having a proactive approach and asking questions at the counter.
    • For any other questions on flight you can contact First Air directly at 1-800-267-1247 or at www.firstair.ca.
