Connecting in Nuuk (GOH)
In Nuuk, you change to the domestic flight that takes you onward to Qaqortoq. Nuuk Airport is Air Greenland's main hub, and connections are arranged so you can usually avoid an overnight stay. If you'd still like a stopover in the capital, you can choose the Fly 'n sleep ticket with an overnight stay in Nuuk.

The final leg is flown with a Dash-8 Q200 or Q400 turboprop aircraft and takes approximately 1 hour and 25 minutes. There are up to two daily departures year-round, rising to up to 17 weekly departures during the summer season.

The town of Qaqortoq is known for its fjords, sheep farming and Norse historical sites, and from here it's a short trip to destinations including Tasermiut Fjord.
