Before you travel
As this route operates only once a week, we recommend planning your trip with plenty of flexibility, especially if you have onward connections within Greenland. We recommend arriving at Iqaluit Airport no later than 1 hour before departure. Check-in opens 2 hours before departure and closes 45 minutes before departure. A valid passport is required for entry into Greenland/Denmark, and depending on your nationality, you may also need a visa or other travel authorization — please check current entry requirements before departure.

Nuuk is the capital of Greenland and the country's largest city. From Nuuk Airport, you can continue your journey with Air Greenland to destinations across Greenland, including Ilulissat, Kangerlussuaq and Narsarsuaq, as well as onward to Copenhagen. The currency in Greenland is the Danish krone (DKK).
When is it cheapest?
As this route operates only during the summer season (24 June-30 September), there is no low season to choose from. Book well in advance, as the season is short, capacity is limited (37 seats per week), and demand is high. Please check the booking system for current prices and availability.
In case of weather-related changes
Weather conditions over the Davis Strait can affect the flight. In the event of a weather-related cancellation, we will rebook you free of charge on the next available departure. Please note that the next departure on this weekly route is not until one week later, so we recommend a flexible travel plan and allowing plenty of time when planning your journey.
