I have spent quite a lot of time in flyplasser<\/strong> (airports) in the last few months, so I feel it is appropriate to write a post about words one frequently hears and uses in a flyplass<\/strong>. \u00a0You will find that many of the words and phrases in Norwegian are similar to English. \u00a0For instance, before you get on a plane, you must sjekke-inn<\/strong>. \u00a0You can either do this hjemme p\u00e5 internettet <\/strong>(home on the internet) or p\u00e5 flyplassen<\/strong> at a kiosk<\/strong> (same word in both spr\u00e5k<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

In order to sjekke-inn<\/strong>, you will need to present foto<\/strong> identifikasjon <\/strong>as well as your navn<\/strong>. \u00a0Of course, if you are traveling til utlandet <\/strong>(internationally), you need your pass <\/strong>(passport). \u00a0If you sjekker inn hjemme,<\/strong> you can usually use your kreditt kort informasjon<\/strong> that you used to book your reise <\/strong>(flight) or your bekreftelsesnummer<\/strong> (confirmation number). \u00a0Depending on how long you will be gone for, you may want to sjekke bagasje<\/strong>. \u00a0I try to avoid doing this because it saves time at both ends, but for longer trips, you simply have to. \u00a0At your destinasjon<\/strong>, you will then have to hent bagasjene dine<\/strong> (retrieve your baggage).<\/p>\n

While you are at the flyplass<\/strong>, you may have the misfortune of a forsinkelse<\/strong> (delay). \u00a0I know a lot of people had to deal with a forsinkelse<\/strong> last night at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Int\u00b4l flyplass<\/strong> because of the large amount of sn\u00f8<\/strong> that dumped on us in such a short period of time. \u00a0I was happy to arrive a bit early with my flight from Europe, but a normally 45-min. drive home from the flyplass<\/strong>, it took nearly 3 hours.<\/p>\n

If you have traveled med fly<\/strong> (by plane) this year, and especially in the last couple of weeks, you have noticed the increased flyplasssikkerhet <\/strong>(airport security). \u00a0I was shocked yesterday at Schipol airport in Amsterdam preparing to board my Delta flight. \u00a0Per standard protocol, every single passasjer <\/strong>gets pulled aside and asked a series of questions about baggasje <\/strong>and the purpose of your reise, osv.<\/strong> I have to say, there is still a whole lot of profilering <\/strong>(profiling) based on nasjonalitet <\/strong>(nationality) and hudfarge <\/strong>(skin color). \u00a0It seemed to me that the Delta employees demanded more time for questioning from anyone who wasn\u00b4t caucasian. \u00a0Although I don\u00b4t agree with the profilering<\/strong>, as long as my flight is not forsinket<\/strong> because of it, I don\u00b4t mind being asked a series of questions, nor do I mind being thoroughly patted down! \u00a0It\u00b4s all for our safety.<\/p>\n

Well, as my flight to Orlando is\u00a0underveis<\/strong> (en route, on the way) at the moment and we will lande<\/strong> soon, I must sign off. \u00a0Hopefully this post enriched your flying vocabulary a bit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
