With effect from March 16th 2009 Air Greenland is able to check your baggage through to your final destination when you travel with SAS to/from Aalborg and Århus. At present this only applies to flights to/from Århus and Aalborg, not to other destinations or other airlines. Air Greenland is still working to find a solution to this challenge.

At check-in you should point out that you have a connection to/from Aalborg or Århus and you must present a SAS itinerary.

When you arrive in Copenhagen you should go directly to the SAS Transfer Center to check in and obtain a boarding card for your domestic connection. The centre is situated in the transit area next to the large tax-free shop.

Your can pick up your baggage at Aalborg/Århus when you arrive.

When you depart from Aalborg and Århus to travel to Greenland, you must point out that your final destination is Greenland. When you arrive in Copenhagen you should go directly to the Novia Transfer Center to obtain a boarding card to Greenland. The centre is situated in the transit area next to the large tax-free shop.

You can pick up your baggage at your final destination in Greenland.

Hand luggage:
All passengers are, in addition to checked luggage, allowed to bring one piece of hand luggage with max. dimensions 55 x 40 x 23 cm and weighing max. 8 kilos. For security reasons and because of space restrictions on domestic flights, only one piece of hand luggage is allowed. However, tax free goods are allowed without a hand luggage tag. Air Greenland reserves the right to stow extra hand luggage in the aircraft’s hold.

It is always a good idea to carry any medication you need in your hand luggage to avoid problems if your checked luggage is delayed.

Before you pack your hand luggage please note the special regulations for liquids and creams carried in hand luggage.

In addition to the free luggage allowance, the following may also be taken on board:

• one small handbag/purse
• one small camera/binoculars
• reading material for the journey
• one coat or one cape
• one blanket
• one umbrella or walking stick

For security reasons, there are items you are not allowed to bring on board our aircraft. Click on this link to find a complete list of things you are not permitted to take in your hand baggage. .

Checked luggage:
Your luggage is weighed at check-in. It must not weigh more than 20 kilos when you travel on economy class and 30 kilos on business class. Infants under two years of age have a baggage allowance of 10 kg checked, weighed baggage and one umbrella stroller.

Your luggage is tagged for your final destination and a copy of the luggage tag is stuck to your itinerary. Look after your luggage tag, you may need it to identify your luggage if it is lost or delayed. It is also your receipt and it will be required it you have to make an insurance claim.

Before you pack, please be aware of which objects you are not permitted to bring in your checked luggage. See the list here.

Air Greenland is not liable for damage to fragile or perishable baggage. Travellers who bring fragile items such as musical instruments, rifles and computers (laptops), must wrap these items securely, so they are not damaged during transport.

Excess Baggage:

It is a good idea to check the weight of your luggage before you go to the airport. If it weighs more than the respectively 20 and 30 kg, you will be charged a fee per. commenced additional kg. The fee is calculated as a percentage of the normal price on the route you fly, and represents the 2010 example on routes between Copenhagen and Kangerlussuaq DKK 60 per route, Narsarsuaq and Copenhagen DKK 71 per route and between Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq DKK 32 and between Qaqortoq and Narsarsuaq DKK 12

Do you have more than 75 kg overweight, it should be booked well in advance of departure. The ordering of excess baggage must be implemented by the travel agency where you booked the journey, or if you have booked your travel online, you must write to websupport@airgreenland.gl When you book your excess baggage please state weight in kilos, number of pieces and the dimensions (length x width x height). Since capacity varies with the individual aircraft and helicopter types, we recommend that you book your excess baggage at the same time as you book your flight. Payment for excess weight will be charged at confirmation.

If it becomes necessary to cancel the weight you are entitled to a refund if you cancel the booking for excess baggage up to two days before scheduled departure, but a service charge and a charge per planned travel day will be deducted. Excess baggage under 75 kilos cannot be booked and can only be confirmed at check-in on the day of departure.
