Flights to Greenland, St. Andrew from

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will get your Greenland vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Greenland, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
