One viking per flight is good with me!.
And this is "Bertil Viking", OY-KFC, the CRJ-900 like on schedule.
A new one for me?.
At least it´s leg no. 22 on type, done on STR-CPH and also CPH-STR before.
In service since 20.02.2009 and 12 examples are in the fleet actually.
Stories?. Sure!:

Gate C7 right now at "Københavns Lufthavn Kastrup", 3.35 pm, short ahead to schedule, 1.25 hours more by "Scandinavian" from the 3300 meters "Two-Two-Left".
6 degrees and rain showers now.
The small compartment down there looks like as special as always!


Are you sure?


Just a cabin impression


Legroom is ok with the dark blue fabric seats, well used once again and the load is 80%.
The last row window shows me two seats just for me!


Cockpit crew is really nice, the "Pilot" with a detailed welcome during boarding.
All crew introduced by name and a realxed bye-bye during the approach.
No route or flightlevel info and the service is BOB.
Cabin crew is two women, one senior,  nice and another also nice, middle aged.
Cloudy it is


No, no more Paris please, I should take the next flight immediatelly!

The "Flughafen Stuttgart" is not that far to go anymore, touchdown at "Two-Five" and back at the homebase at 5.00 pm or also 15 minutes ahead to schedule with 10 partly cloudy degrees.

The conclusions:
1.)SAS ALF-TOS: Stunning views once again.
2.)SAS TOS-OSL: Sunny and sleepy for the snow show.
3.)SAS OSL-CPH: Calm it is on the way for Denmark.
4.)SAS CPH-STR: Comy so far for the
homebase.

Well, is there something more to fly or is it enough right now?.
It isn´t enough!.
Sunny side up, you know!:



Farvel and take care.

Just a bit further southern side it is now.
Everything ok on the screen leaving "Oslo lufthavn"?


Gate 44, ok, but there is something wrong here. No Icelandair for me at all!


This is LN-RRM better known as "Erland Viking", the 737-700 like on schedule.
Leg no. 48 on type and done once before on BGO-OSL


In the air and around with the SK group since 12.01.2000. 30 planes on type are in the fleet and there are no stories to show here


Boarding now, no lounge here used to say the least


11.45 am what also means short ahead to schedule and also means 50 "Scandinavian" minutes from the 2950 meters  "One-Nine-Left". + 1 degrees, yeah and snowy showers!.
The legroom is ok here with the dark blue fabric seats, the oldfashioned examples. Well used to say the least it is with a 70% load today.
25 A/B, the last row two seater again and the aisle remains open this time


Cabin crew is all female, one senior biz at it´s best, one middle aged black hair, ok and one younger, dark blonde hair, not that large, well built, really nice.
Cockpit crew is from Scandinavia.
The  "Skipper" with a nice welcome in an experienced style during boarding.
Once more nice inflight and detailed, too and also during the early approach.
Service is BOB and flightlevel 39000 feet, no route details to follow.
Well, I should definitely go to Paris somedays!


"Zero-Four-Left", 3600 meters, "Københavns Lufthavn, Kastrup" finally reached at 12.50 am, ten minutes ahead to schedule, 6 degrees and thick fog, really thick fog here.

The famous last leg to come, hopefully!.
Take care.

Now that was swift, no need to leave the plane and also no chance to see the lounge, ok, there is no lounge here anyway!. A couple of pax out, just by surprise more than expected, a couple of pax in, much more than expected and onwards we go from "Tromsø lufthavn Langnes" southern side this time.
8.20 am, ten minutes ahead to schedule, "Scandinavian" for 1.50 hours from runway "One-Nine", the same like on arrivals.
Sunny it is and the temperature is -2 degrees.
The very same crew works the flight again.
The "Pilot" with a nice and detailed welcome inflight and the FO with a short notice during approach later on.  No route info but flightlevel is 38000 feet


And what´s this?


Leg no. 47 on the 737 certainly.
The load is 100%, no open seat to spot.
25B again and what a joke, an elder pax asked me to change my seat for his comfy middle seat a couple of rows in front. No way, definitely no way.
The scenery is well, stunning


And finally "Oslo lufthavn", touchdown at the 2950 meters runway "One-Nine-Left". 10.10 am, ten minutes ahead to schedule at + 1 degrees and snow


Under the wing, you know


Oslo it is once more, nothing wrong with that!.
Take care.

Should this really be a dedication to do, then in the Nordic countries. I like them!




The trip in one word:

OVERWHELMED


"Should I really leave the north after this majestic experience the last night?"

And this is flying 2015, at least till now!:



An early good morning greeting from northern Norway after one of these short, rather short, travel nights.
But worth it it was, oh yes.
Not sure where these lightnings in my mind coming from. Maybe Aurea Borealis is baked?.
Ok, breakfast is ready roomside
and just a couple of minutes thereafter the preordered this time taxi is also ready for the ride to the airport.
It was cheap?. Joke, this is Norway!


Clean, functional and simply no one else here beside me at "Alta lufthavn". But I´am close to sure that the time is right for my upcoming flights


Chilly it is outdoor, lovely 11 degrees but on the negative side, ok nothing else expected during this time of the year in the north



Better to stay indoor, isn´t it?.
Also when there is no lounge on offer

Wideroe today?


Or this one and just by surprise there is also a SK plane here!


And exactly this one is on final preparations to fly for somewhere else so it looks like


Now these yellow sign on the screen fits to my expectations for a couple of more northern style pictures!


Out for the frosty apron to board
LN-RPK "Heimer Viking", the 737-700 like the schedule told me.
Leg no. 46 on type and a new entry to the log. 30 ´700´s are in the actual fleet and this one is in the air since 31.03.2000 with SK only.
There are no stories to show here


For Russia this way


Tripsta secured the ticket details, four legs on the confirmation and just 35.00 Euro´s per leg it is


It´s 07.25 am, well ahead to schedule,  just 25 "Scandinavian" minutes from the 2253 meters runway "Two-Nine" at lovely 11, ahem negative, degrees.
For a view from above


Cabin crew is one elder male, nice, one elder biz style woman and also a middle aged woman, large slim, long black hair, really nice.
Low level cruising above the bay of Alta


Cockpit crew is the male "Kaptein" with a short, experienced style welcome during boarding and the female FO with a nice bye-bye during approach.
No route or flightlevel data.
Power to gain some height!


Blue, white and the wing in between looks like nice, isn´t it?


Where the snow is


But just wait a moment, there is something else to picture than the scenery.
For example the dark blue fabric seats, really well used to say the least and the legroom is ok with the last row, 25B, just a two seater and these two are for me.
The load is 40%


And for example the safety card


Or also the snackbox


Low level cruising in direction Tromso


Yeah, it feels like really low level cruising


Yes, I like flying this way


And the sun in between the clouds, lovely


Down the fjord


Just some mountain peaks around close to Tromso


Ah, yes, call it a scenic approach


Close to the mountains


Down the valley


And above the snowy peaks


Looks like good with the sun above, isn´t it?


Touchdown at "Tromsø lufthavn Langnes" just a couple of minutes later at the 2447 meters "One-Nine".
7.55 am it is, what means also 15 minutes ahead to schedule at -2 degrees and a partly cloudy sky.

Tromso it is, but just for a swift change of planes, or not?.
Take care.
