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

[@nathanaelhalim8191]

Thx for the constant video. We cant travel atm but at least we can travel through your video. Cheers

[@TAILSORANGEs]

Do you know that DYING is illegal in Longyearbyen?

[@Owlventure_Aviation]

the scenery during both landings and descents is literally amazing. I've never seen such a beautiful place

[@goytabr]

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.

[@Owlventure_Aviation]

@@goytabr Yup. Juneau k is good too

[@manjulatha1381]

@@goytabr who asked you

[@goytabr]

@@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.

[@ANDR3A5]

Thank you for complementing my country?

[@languystephane]

Cant imagine all the 'TERAIN', 'TERAIN' warnings on that approach

[@calebyao.]

Lol yeah

[@RoyalMela]

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.

[@languystephane]

@@RoyalMela That is correct. Airports with an ILS are probably, if not always, in the EGPWS data base.

[@dazlebluefrogify]

@@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

[@nycflyertravel]

I love how there’s no jet bridge. You get such a great view of the plane while you’re boarding!

[@EREJones]

My opinion on this depends upon the weather lol

[@travelmentaryTV]

Love that you fly on more "exotic" routes as well and not only from the hubs that everybody knows. Well done!

Don't u go to school?

[@balta1769]

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

[@languist]

I’ve been waiting so long. Finally Simply Aviation has made a Tripreport of Oslo and other Norwegian cities!

[@checcofigu8339]

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 (:

You might be even more shocked if you see the emergency exit seat on SAS A321😂

[@irgendwie360]

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.

[@christianhanuise4221]

Great video ! I flew this route in August 2000 on an MD80, arriving in Longyearbyen with a wonderful midnight sun.

[@marcaranzamendez5119]

Your trip reports always help me choose what airline to fly!!!😀

[@TheNextFlight]

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

[@atarazi411]

Omg those sceneries 👌🏻

[@jonathansrum9685]

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.

[@fsxaviator3866]

OMG! Such a cool route thanks.

[@OHAREAVIATION]

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. 😎👍

[@aviationwithjeff]

Indeed, amazing scenery for a unique flight. And thanks for the explanation regarding passport control in Svalbard. Love the simplicity of this report.

[@thomasnorb4077]

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

[@navidalam1170]

Those breathtaking scenes are just...breathtaking. Nice review. Cheers!

[@jf3052]

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

I did the same flight in februari its so different in winter

[@bugraguney1852]

I Love this old Boeing 737-800 ❤

[@TravelElg]

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.

[@rasmuslindholm5719]

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.

[@jonathanchester5916]

amazing ! love it when a stop-over is a welcome feature :) Such amazing scenery.

[@davefrommelbourne1237]

What a rare flight quite interesting about the history of the destination too 👍

[@LeanderTravels]

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

[@PhilAntarctica]

Thanks for the video. I have really appreciated your Tripreports...

[@ardauzuncay4575]

Wow. I just watched your oldest full flight review (VIE-HAM). The quality of your videos today is much better than the older ones. Keep doing!

[@shaunpierce4174]

Gardermoen is a lovely airport, very bright and airy. Also SAS are a terrific airline.

im norweigian and im happy you got to go to oslo its beautiful

[@east_bay_transit_nerd]

Every Scandinavian airport I see on this channel is absolutely stunning

[@rasmuslindholm5719]

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.

[@JB-zl6qo]

OH Many Thanks Felix!!!!! I plan to visit norway someday, this was a great preview! I needed this boost today. Thanks again. JB

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

[@rezaalan3991]

Finally you fly to Longyearbyen, Svalbard. If this pandemic gone, hope you can fly to Greenland or St. Helena, or some unexpected place.

[@FlyLeah]

This was exactly my same trip from same place, exactly the same plane, a year ago!

[@yasutomobaba]

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.

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
