Less than a week from my one-month trip, I'm back again traveling, this time to a neighbour country - Norway
X60 at Arlanda
Post covid problems with security and long queues are now history at Arlanda
I'm heading to Oslo for a weekend trip. I still have two days left of my Interrail ticket, but to speed up the trip I'm flying. Also I'm not allowed to use the Interrail in Sweden anymore
There are normally 9 SAS flights and 6 Norwegian flights per day between Stockholm and Oslo, while there are only 2 trains
