Business Class Flights to Greenland, Denmark

Flights to Greenland arrive at Kangerlussuaq International Airport (SFJ), the country’s largest airport and the only airport that handles international flights. Located on the country’s southwest coast just above the Arctic Circle, Kangerlussuaq International Airport handles about 134,000 passengers each year. Both scheduled and charter flights to Greenland are operated by Air Greenland and Iceland Air. A small number of regional airlines operate flights between Kangerlussuaq International Airport and domestic airports in other parts of the country.

Because flights to Kangerlussuaq International Airport are fairly limited, especially during the winter, cheap flights to Greenland are often not available. Most travelers who come to Greenland have to opt for spring and summer flights, as that’s when most available routes are available.

Tourism in Greenland has increased over the past several years. It is also a popular destination for scientists and researchers. Many of the scientists who fly to Greenland come to the country to conduct climate research at sites on the Greenland Ice Sheet, located in the north central part of the country.

Tourists who book tickets to Greenland often come to the country to see its glaciers and view its arctic wildlife, which includes muskoxen, arctic hares, polar bears, reindeer, wolves, seals, and whales. Greenland is also a great location for winter sporting activities, such as skiing, snowboarding, and ice and rock climbing. For nature lovers, Greenland is rich with hiking opportunities for travelers to explore.

Although it is a large country by land mass, only about 56,000 live in Greenland, many of which are native Inuits. Greenland’s economy is largely based on fishing, but many of the country’s residents live in rural areas and are largely self-sufficient. Because it’s a cultural so connected with the waterways, much of Greenland’s diet consists of fish and other marine life, though wild game often make it into traditional dishes. The national dish of Greenland is a soup called Suaasat, which, while traditionally made with seal meat, has evolved to substitute caribou and other wild game. Beyond meat, it’s a hearty soup rich in potatoes, onions, and other starchy vegetables.

One of the biggest reasons nature lovers fly to Greenland is in search of the northern lights (also known as “Aurora Borealis”). Typically beginning in fall, the lights cast a prominent green glow across the sky. For the people of Greenland, this evokes a centuries-old spiritual connection with its own mythology among native Greenlanders. Visitors can submerge themselves in the cultural connection and catch the northern lights from fall through early spring, with April being one of the final months to see the lights. For those who book tickets to Greenland in the spring, they might be able to catch the Arctic Sounds Festival, which typically runs from late March through early April. This festival celebrates traditional music artists, as well as offers opportunities for sailing trips, dog-sledding, and winter sports during the final viewing season of the northern lights.
