The island out there…

Early morning when my alarm went off. Taxi to the airport – I know I am lazy. 🙂 Flight with SAS to Oslo Gardermoen and on to Copenhagen. I had no plans to stay the 5.5 hour overlay at the airport so I put my luggage (carry on only) to a locker and then took…

The holidays have started

Finally two weeks of holidays. Spending 9 days in Germany and 6 days in Stockholm. Starting from the airport at 10 am has some advantages. You can “sleep in” – at least more than taking the 7 am flight and take the cheaper bus (1/10th of the taxi price). Hoping for some better weather home…

Quiet a competition to Norwegian on domestic flights where you don’t need an alliance. Found out that all the airportbusses belong to the mafia… 70 NOK for…
