– I have books, music and audiobook with me, so I’m excited. Fortunately, there is a good view outside the window, says Helen Vikingsstad (23) to Dagbladet.
Vikingsstad, from Sola in Rocheland, was visiting a friend in Tromso over the weekend. On Sunday night she was to go to Bergen’s house.
Blows the strike
Like many in Tromsø, Vikingstad had his flight canceled ten minutes before boarding, as a result of an aviation technician’s strike.
– There were many who were frustrated and abandoned. The news came that I would be refunding, but I was unable to book the flight again. I could not stay overnight in a hotel or get money for food, he says.
It was NRK Trams and Finmark The case was first mentioned.
– Length of Norway
Vikingsstad immediately began searching for more flights from Tromsø to Bergen, but after several days no flights were available. In addition, the tickets are at least four times more expensive than the airline ticket she bought for 1200 kroner.
– Anger and frustration
So, she chose to change both the itinerary and the transportation route to get to Bergen. So you can continue your journey home by bus on Monday morning.
Speaking to Dockblade Vikingstad, she was on the train from Trondheim to Oslo, very close to Storren station. From Oslo, the journey continues to Bergen, where he first arrives on Wednesday at 06.00am. Then the journey by transport took 43 hours and Vikingstot is 60 hours by road.
