Flying into Whitehorse (affordably)

  • Because Whitehorse is so far north, there is a deal to fly cheaper on Air North airlines. They offer an “Air Pass” — one for frequent flyers, and one for students — which offers packs of 10 flights or 30 flights for 1 fixed price. This is so you don’t have to deal with fluctuating fare prices. flyairnorth.com/flights/air-passes
