If you require assistance in making any of the international flight arrangements, please feel free to contact us, as we have expert knowledge on the flight logistics in and out of Greenland and Iceland and can readily offer assistance and advice.
When making flight arrangements, please bear in mind that if we encounter very bad weather or other unforeseen delay on the expedition, the end date may be exceeded by up to several days. Although we will do our best to avoid any such delay, your flight tickets out of East Greenland should be of the flexible kind to allow date changes. Similarly, a fast moving expedition in good weather conditions can complete the expedition in 24-27 days, hence the possibility of departing Greenland earlier than the itinerary dates.
