Terje’s best travel tipsWe are in a time of the year where there is a lot to look back on – spring and summer are soon over, and fall is here. They say that every season has its charm, but you may also say that every season gives you a new reason to travel – and maybe experience other destinations. Some choose to elongate the summer by going to southern Europe which offers summer temperatures all the way to October, while in other parts of the world spring has just begun. Either way, there is a season and a reason to travel!
The fall is for many a hectic time of the year. For some it is the main season – hunting season! The airlines are facing some hectic weeks, because hunting is getting very popular, and people are challenging the elements by hunting for antelopes or bear in other parts of the world. For those who are travelling it is important to bring all the necessary equipment, in other words guns and ammo. It is important to inform your travel agency or airline that you are bringing guns and ammo. The airlines handle this in different ways. If you travel within Norway and wish to bring a hound, remember that this has to be pre-booked, and that there are restrictions for how many that are allowed on each plane.On the subject of “special luggage”, there is a lot more that guns and ammo in this category. Again the airlines handle this in different ways so you should get this clear before you go if you are bringing: - bike - golf bag - surfboard - diving equipment - ski or water ski In many cases you also need a confirmation that the transport is ok before you go, and there is often an extra charge for bringing this equipment. ![]() Travelling around the earth is for many a dream. To day where many airlines is part of an alliance, to travel the earth is getting simpler and cheaper. The prizes starts at 15-16 000 NOK, not included taxes and other charges. The ground rule is that you travel in one direction, and mostly can not have more stops in the same city. If you wish to travel around only one continent, the airline alliances is also worth a lot. The different alliances offer different “air passes”, which means that you can buy an air pass where you need three or four flight within a continent. Star Alliance has come a long way developing these passes. They offer nine different passes, more info at www.staralliance.com The world is yours to discover. I hope that you are one of those that realize their dreams. Get in to the world of adventure! Have a nice trip! |
