How to survive the flight to Kangerlussuaq?
If you’re not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your vacation in Kangerlussuaq.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. You’ll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Kangerlussuaq?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some top tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Kangerlussuaq, here you come:

  • Be sure to have your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Can’t travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
