Norway is an extremely long and narrow country. \u00a0If you look at the map, you will see that it really isn\u00b4t very far from Bergen<\/em> to Stavanger, \u00c5lesund, or Trondheim<\/em>. \u00a0It takes a long time to drive to most places in Norway, whether it be on the coast or in the mountains. \u00a0However, as the crow flies, it shouldn\u00b4t take more than about a few hours to get from one end of the country to the other. \u00a0Unfortunately, the number of flights available that fly directly from Bergen<\/em> to another city is small. \u00a0Same goes for flying from Troms\u00f8<\/em> to Trondheim<\/em> (which is of course a longer distance) or many other combinations of cities.<\/p>\n

I was told that I was lucky to get a direkte rute <\/strong>(direct flight) from Troms\u00f8<\/em> to Bergen<\/em>. \u00a0Usually flights are directed towards Oslo<\/em>, where you will have a (hopefully) short overgang<\/strong> (layover), and then you will bytte fly <\/strong>(switch planes) to head to your final Norwegian destination. \u00a0My friends that work on cruise ships often board and depart out of \u00c5lesund<\/em>. \u00a0They live in Troms\u00f8<\/em>. \u00a0It would make sense for them to \u00a0just fly directly south to \u00c5lesund<\/em>, but instead they have to fly to Oslo<\/em>, where one can sometimes expect to have an overnight overgang<\/strong> before one can proceed on to \u00c5lesund<\/em>, or wherever it may be.<\/p>\n

I guess the reason for all of this hassle is simply that there aren\u00b4t enough people who want to go from Troms\u00f8 <\/em>to Bergen<\/em> at the same time. \u00a0But there are a lot of people who want to fly from Troms\u00f8<\/em> to Oslo<\/em>, so it\u00b4s easier and cheaper for the airline to send you on that flight, and then fill up a plane of people who want to go from Oslo<\/em> to Bergen<\/em>. \u00a0This is quite irritating, as you can imagine, but such is the market, right?<\/p>\n

For those of you who have not flown to or inside Norway, you may be wondering how many flyplasser <\/strong>(airports) there are and where they are located, and which flyselskaper <\/strong>operate in Norway. \u00a0There are no less than 46 flyplasser<\/strong> in Norway, one in every major city, and many small cities. \u00a0It is simply essential to have flyplasser<\/strong> located close to just about everywhere due to the difficult and lengthy travel time via another mode of transportation other than flying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
