What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight can make your trip to Qassimiut quick and painless. Below are some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
