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! Greetings from Vienna, David and Felix
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.
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
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 (:
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
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.
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 !!
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
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 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.
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
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.
Indeed, amazing scenery for a unique flight. And thanks for the explanation regarding passport control in Svalbard. Love the simplicity of this report.
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.
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. 😎👍
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 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.
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
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
@@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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!!
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.
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
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.
What she said in Norwegian on the speaker when u boarded the plane: informasjon til personer om bord SAS til Longyearbyen You took off from runway 01R?
Hello I always fly Scandinavian thanks for the cool vid P.S do you stay at the location after flying for a holiday or do you just fly to somewhere else?
I can't speak for Felix, but I certainly wouldn't miss the chance of getting to know such a unique place as Svalbard, a true monument to humankind's determination and adaptation capability to live even in the most hostile environments - and which with their seed bank, may well be crucial for our survival in the future.
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.
One of the few airports where pilots are warned beforehand of their trip , of possible reindeer and polar bears on the runway. They have to be prepared to abort landing on short notice.
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?
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.
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.
Winglets are big, heavy and expensive to install. Winglets are meant for the high altitude, high speed part of the fligh so if the airline uses them on short flights, they will just be deadweight. SAS uses their 737-800s on those types of short flights (mostly) and a320neos on their longer flights. Oslo is also where they keep their 737s which is why they use them on longer flights like this.
I am from Toronto, and I can definitely tell you, the airport in Oslo is beautiful, not only that, but the airport in Toronto looks sick compared to this one; one other thing, people are more polite.

I love how there’s no jet bridge. You get such a great view of the plane while you’re boarding!
My opinion on this depends upon the weather lol
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.

What I really like at SAS it that they sell their short haul “business class” seats as Premium Economy seats but include lounge access

Nice video ! 😃
But why this 737 hasn’t any winglets ?
Winglets are big, heavy and expensive to install. Winglets are meant for the high altitude, high speed part of the fligh so if the airline uses them on short flights, they will just be deadweight. SAS uses their 737-800s on those types of short flights (mostly) and a320neos on their longer flights. Oslo is also where they keep their 737s which is why they use them on longer flights like this.
Thank you !
737 800s didn't have them origin
