- The flight to Trondheim airport from Stansted is direct and takes just two and a half hours. It is also relatively cheap, with return flights typically costing somewhere around one hundred and twenty pounds or 160 euros.
- You need a passport to enter Norway and it is not an EEC country.

similar to that in England. Of course it can rain (we hope so!) but the typical temperature is somewhere between sixteen
