From Europe to Inuvik/NWT it is quite a long long distance. Not even to think about direct flight connections. When you are not lucky to live close to a big international airport, you will have six starts and six landings during your journey. Europe-Inuvik is not done on a single day even as you gain an 8 hour time shift. Starting in Leipzig, you will have to fly to Frankfurt, then to some bigger town in Canada and from there to Edmonton. This is where you will have to stay a night before continuing via Yellowknife, Norman Wells and finally reach Inuvik. This sums up to more than 15 hours flight time and makes you totally tired.
The good thing is, that due to the time shift and jetlag you do not have any problem to get to the early flight by Canadian North. I was waking up the first time at 22:30... (6:30 MEST). Surprised by the lot of snow, I waited for a shuttle bus, mostly driven by non native Canadians, who always complain about the weather in Edmonton.
The two stops in Yellowknife and Norman Wells are just stops to let off some passengers and get other new on board. In Norman Wells you will usually be allowed to leave the aircraft during the short stop. That's always worth as you get a nice view on the MacKenzie which is directly in front of Norman Wells.
