Cheap Flights to Greenland
Greenland (Greenlandic: Kalaallit Nunaat; Danish: Gronland) is the world's largest non-continental island, in the far northeast of North America, largely within the Arctic Circle. The Greenland Tourism and Business council's official website provides a wealth of information for the would-be visitor. Although it is still part of the Kingdom of Denmark, it was granted self-government effective in 1979, more recently it voted for more autonomy, in effect making it a separate country with formal ties to Denmark. Some inhabitants are now projecting the eventual road to independence. The good news is that almost all Greenlanders are bilingual Danish speakers, and many will even have a functional command of English. Greenlandic words may come in handy for travellers wanting to experience the "real Greenland", though. Many Greenlandic names for towns and geographic features are repeated in many places, since they actually are really descriptive terms, such as "Kangerlussuaq," meaning long or large fjord. AirGorilla has produced a nice Greenland travelogue with travel photos. When visiting a city or village don't be afraid to ask for directions of shops, places to eat or somewhere to sleep, even if you think there might not be any. Southern Greenland is nicknamed the "Garden of Greenland," since this where the greenest portions in fact are, and also "Sineriak Bananeqarfik" (Banana Coast) by the locals. Farms are found about, and their owners are often willing to put up trekkers for a fair price. Despite the milder temperatures in the South, there are still few spots where trees naturally grow, largely due to the sheep population that chomps all the leaves long before these very slow-growing trees can grow their limbs out of reach. Danish and other Scandinavian citizens do not need a visa for Greenland, but your passport needs to be valid for at least three months after your visit. Generally, if you need a visa for entering Denmark, you also need to apply for a special visa for entering Greenland.

Visas for entering the Schengen-area (including Denmark) do not automatically apply for Greenland; visas are available from the Danish embassy or where you usually would apply for a Danish visa so make sure that you mention that you are going to Greenland. If you stay for more than three months, you need to apply for a residence permit at the police station. If you stay on the typical tourist paths you do not need any permissions, but any expeditions (including any trips to the national park, which by definition are expeditions) need a special permit from the Danish polar center. If travelling with an agency they will usually take care of the paperwork for you. If you are entering or travelling through Thule Air Base, you also need a permission from the Danish department of foreign affairs, since it is a US military area. Most flights are through Denmark and Iceland's Reykjavik Municipal Airport (RKV). Sometimes Air Greenland tries or considers flights out the the USA, such as Boston and BWI, or Montreal. Helicopter flights are used for travel to most towns, including the capital Nuuk, out of the two primary international airports (Kangerlussuaq and Narsarsuaq). Ferry services also run but only on certain days of the week. You cannot stop in a town for a day, then get back on the next day. You may have to wait several days.
