• Air travel can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. First things first, you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and take a pullover just in case you get chilly. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear compression socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Qasigiannguit easy and painless. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won’t allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
