Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Qasigiannguit could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
