How to survive the flight to Upernavik?
Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’ve prepared well enough. Check out these handy tips that will get your Upernavik escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you’ll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

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 suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
  • It’s likely you’ve heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Upernavik?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Upernavik a piece of cake. We’ve rounded up some top tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They’re the first items you’ll be asked for by security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Don’t forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There’s a chance you’ll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board.
