PLEASE READ: Like everyone else, we are very concered about the current situation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. We have suspended all travels until at least late-April. However, we have decided to continue to publish videos as usual because luckily, within the past twelve months, we were able to record a lot more videos than we were able to publish. This means we will publish some older Tripreports we weren't yet able to cut and upload. And we have enough of them to continue to publish three Tripreports per week for the foreseeable future! We ask for your apology for having to upload some older videos which are not necessarily up-to-date. As always, you can see when a video was recorded in the description. Thank you for your understanding. We wish everyone, especially those working in the aviation and travel industry, a lot of strenght in this difficult time. Remember to wash your hands and stay safe!

Yes, it's stunning, but there are other places with a similar landscape, such as many airports in Alaska (Juneau and Ketchikan, for example), Southern Chile (Puerto Montt, Balmaceda, Puerto Natales), Southern Argentina (Bariloche, El Calafate, Ushuaia), and New Zealand's South Island (Queenstown). But only if the weather helps. Most of these places often have horrible weather.
@@manjulatha1381, nobody asked, but I decided to comment anyway. That's what comments are for. Do you have a problem with that? If so, it's YOUR problem.
I was really shocked by how good the legroom was until you said it was an emergency exit seat haha! Awesome and interesting report as usual, thank you and great job (:
When flying a specific route to special airports, warnings are turned off in planes, unless you do really fly too close the mountains and off the route. Usually when using ILS to approach, you never hear warnings because you are on correct altitude and heading.
@@RoyalMela but i bet when it's windy, snowing ,very poor visibility some passenger who know the routes like this are a little nervous ,i would be anyway !! LOL
Magnificent scenery en route Felix...thank you !! Great view of the aircraft on boarding as well !! Great trip Felix and great for aviation geeks !! Well done mate as always !!
Very interesting TR as usual! I really enjoy very much when you show those particular routes and airports in strange places around the world! The landing in Tromsø footage was simply amazing. Greetings
I can explain why the terminal became permanent and not temporarily like it originally was to be, when they where building the new part of the terminal they built that extra terminal to compensate for the lost gates in the building zone but when they finished the new terminal demand had out grown so it was decided to keep it
I love how you let us observe the beautiful uninterrupted descend! Love that you didn't put music over the view. The descend was just awesome by itself.
This is the best tripreport channel because: 1:No background music so as to enjoy the environment. 2:No continously speaking nonsense by this guy and elaborated through texts. 3:Purely honest person. That's why I watch his videos
Sehr schöner Report mit tollen views! Ich selber mag fliegen mit SAS! Ich bin die Strecke Berlin Tegel nach Oslo geflogen und war zufrieden. Das bestätigt das hier auch noch mal. Lg
Indeed, amazing scenery for a unique flight. And thanks for the explanation regarding passport control in Svalbard. Love the simplicity of this report.
Even though I’m an avid traveler, it is always nice to be able to take trips around the world from the comfort of my own couch. Thanks for putting together all these fantastic videos, mate! Your channel has come such a long way since when we first met here online many years ago. Can’t wait for what you’ll do next!! Keep up the great work. 😎👍
This is such a great trip report. The breath taking scenes of the mountains in Tromso made me want to visit there after all this covid19 is done. Being crew for norwegian airlines I only ever get to see, Oslo, Stockholm and Copenhagen. The airports are beautiful but oslo takes the prize. Deffo will plan a trip to tromso after watching this. Great stuff
Moss/Rygge has been closed for some time (years) now. Ryanair moved everything to Torp, cancelled flight and has some (i think London) routes from OSL. So 2 airports in Oslo :) But OSL is an amazing airport. The extension they made is fantastic and the architecture perfect. Like to be there every time I get home.
Yeah, now there's talk of opening Rygge again. I can't really imagine how Moss needs it's own airport ad they can drive to both Torp and Gardermoen in a reasonable amount of time. And also the owner dispute of who's going to run the thing.
Incredible landscapes ! One route I've never known before ! Thanks Felix for your amazing work ! You're such honorable .Take care bro ! Cheers from France
Rygge Airport is closed for passenger operations, and has been since 2016, when Ryanair ended all routes to and from Rygge. They did that because the Norwegian government introduced a fee for every passenger transported in Norway, which Ryanair did not want to pay, so they decided to end all flights at Rygge. However, Sandefjord Torp is a fully operational airport, with Widerøe, Ryanair, Wizzair, Norwegian and KLM operating passenger routes.
Really good report! It reminds me of my trip to Svalbard to see midnight sun in July, 1996. As I couldn't book a direct flight, I departed from the old Fornebu airport on board MD-80 series (I don't remember which variant), then needed to spend a few hours at TOS waiting for my connecting flight. TOS-LYR leg was on DC-9 which showed its age, making me a bit surprised. But the flight in the Arctic was very calm, and the most enjoyable and memorable in my life. Since the trip, I've wanted to visit the archipelago once again to experience polar night, and yet no opportunity.
I used to feel escalated feelings of anxiety at the concept of sitting in an exit seat, however, my nerves deescalated when I saw this. It helped me understand that exit row seats are just as normal as other seats, and that they don't automatically mean anything bad will happen.
Haha, that's because you don't see the STOL strips, they're everywhere and all the same. An apron with two self positioning stands and a terminal with one check in desk and you collect your baggage straight from the trolley.
Really enjoyed this video. Great scenery along the way! Loved that info on Svalbard! I really enjoy when you guys give info on different places! Keep up the good work, and hope you guys are back in the air very soon!
Svalbard itself produces some interesting distances as well. The Northernmost town of the USA (Barrow) is just as far as Vienna. Krasnoyarsk is just as far as Zürich. The North pole is as close as Rovaniemi. And Magadan in the Russian Far East is closer than Lisbon or Athens.
Wow, toller Report, hammermäßige Landschaften. Die Regelung in Tromso fand ich etwas seltsam, aber ok, es war eben so. Vor allem der lange Weg über das Vorfeld zurück zur Maschine. Bist du denn auch wieder direkt zurück geflogen? Danke für´s mitnehmen.
@@thomasnorb4077 Don' try to be a smartass, it's the same as saying "You're never from New York, you're either born in the United States or you're from somewhere else." See? It just sounds stupid.
Excellent vid! LYR is one of my dream trips, on the to-do list..I think if i'm not mistaken, SAS in the summer flies directly without layover in TOS..So you can choose a direct flight with either SK or Norwegian..At least pre-covid 19..Now if you could only show us a video of Svalbard, it would be fantastic
On flights within Europe, you have to pay for a snack. However, on long haul flights such as to the US or Hong Kong, the food, of course, is free. Great trip report!!
You can't leave your 737-800 lying around at an airport in Norway, someone will steal your winglets. Fantastic approaches into the airports with great views. Best I.F.E.
Nice TR! A great thing to now is that norwegian also fly to Svalbard, but they also used to fly to the southernmost commercial Airport in the world, Ushuaia. That it was possible to fly from the northernmost to the southernmost commercial Airport in the world only by one carrier is pretty amazing! but unfortunately their Argentina operations is now sold to jetsmart.
SAS bought all of their 737's (400, 500, 600, 700 and 800) without winglets. All of their 700's and some of their 800's were retrofitted with winglets during the economic crisis. This was after the -400 and -500 was retired. You would see SAS prioritizing winglets on their -700's because they're the workhorse of the fleet. Recently the -600's were retired so you see -700's with winglets and -800's without.
Really nice video! Also, Oslo Airport Rygge/Moss is not in commercial use anymore because of political reasons (long story short: government made new rule Ryanair didn't like, Ryanair pulled out, waited a couple of months and moved to Oslo Airport Gardermoen). However, there are still military planes going to and from RYG.
Nice video. Last year I was planning to go to Norway, but not Svalbard, but a health issue caused me to cancel the trip. This year, COVID-19 is messing up plans. Maybe in 2021. I found it interesting there's passport control between mainland Norway and Svalbard. I didn't know that.
I've been to the world's southernmost international airport, Ushuaia Las Malvinas Argentinas, on Tierra del Fuego. Passed through there on a cruise to Cape Horn.
The worlds most northernmost airport is actually located in Alert, canada. However, it is not civil. The airport is used as an AFB. Svalbard, on the other hand, has 4 civil airlines fly there, 2 of which are passenger airlines. Longyear has over 1,000 population but NO exit (meaning that airlines HAVE to fly there), and Alert has 100, (also with no exit.)
I was gonna be flying SAS to Denmark in late may, but with this pandemic I highly doubt it will go ahead. I was really looking forward to flying SAS as it would’ve been the first time on the airline. Oh well.
Does anybody else notice that when he is sitting in the exit row seat that as well as a tray table in the armrest there is a tray table on the seat in front of him?
About the temporary now permanent terminal. Because it was ment to be temporary, it is easily movable. The airport has said it plans to move it to the international part, to act as a low cost terminal for Ryanair and those airlines. However, I have not heard about this for a while

My opinion on this depends upon the weather lol
Love that you fly on more "exotic" routes as well and not only from the hubs that everybody knows. Well done!

You might be even more shocked if you see the emergency exit seat on SAS A321😂
I’ve been waiting so long. Finally Simply Aviation has made a Tripreport of Oslo and other Norwegian cities!
Cant imagine all the 'TERAIN', 'TERAIN' warnings on that approach
Lol yeah
When flying a specific route to special airports, warnings are turned off in planes, unless you do really fly too close the mountains and off the route. Usually when using ILS to approach, you never hear warnings because you are on correct altitude and heading.
@@RoyalMela That is correct. Airports with an ILS are probably, if not always, in the EGPWS data base.

That was not passport control "in Svalbard", that was in mainland Norway.

I was in Oslo 2013 but i haven't pushed it a little bit farther to my dream destination, Svalbard... maybe someday! Thanks for the lovely vid :)
What I really like at SAS it that they sell their short haul “business class” seats as Premium Economy seats but include lounge access
Wow, this was one of the most coolest and informative trip reports ever
The terrain in absolutely breathtaking ❤️
Gardermoen is a lovely airport, very bright and airy. Also SAS are a terrific airline.
Omg those sceneries 👌🏻
OH Many Thanks Felix!!!!! I plan to visit norway someday, this was a great preview! I needed this boost today. Thanks again. JB

Why doesn’t this plane have winglets?

Thomas Mortimore oh ok
The spectacular scenery is breathtaking!
I’ll never get over that amazing 737 noise from startup to taxi takeoff wasn’t great due to your seat
Stunning scenery on this flight that almost makes the final destination irrelevant.
There is a no winglet design for -800s? I did not know...

About the temporary now permanent terminal. Because it was ment to be temporary, it is easily movable. The airport has said it plans to move it to the international part, to act as a low cost terminal for Ryanair and those airlines. However, I have not heard about this for a while
Terminal B without bridges will not be re(moved). They decided to keep it there for domestic flights.
