We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Kangerlussuaq in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
