We hope to fly in to Torp, Oslo. I am not sure if there are still restrictions on tourism.
Many thanks

But I live in the UK and my girlfriend lives in Norway. Haven’t seen each other since the end of February. It’s hard but we are both coping fine. Is there any indication of when flights would continue? Wether half load, or even maybe quarter. As it’s only a short flight there and back. I’ve heard that the borders will be closed until the 15th June. I just want them to open, I can at least maybe get a plane, ferry, train or even drive to see her. Just not getting much clear information anywhere. Would be nice to get someone small honest opinion. It’s so hard not even knowing. If we had say a ‘date’ when we could see each other, we can plan and it would be less stress. I know it’s very hard to find out and I’m sure I’m not the only one thinking this. I’ve got a few ideas as to how flying may come back around. I was thinking July maybe… I know that may be wishful thinking, but the economic impact of this virus, surely flying would have to somewhat return in some way right?

Not all of us are that kind, but, however it is true!
I like Norway and its citizens. You are very nice people. Good luck!

That includes Norway. So in spite of the financial problems, I think it’s great that nature can get a breather from humans. Everything is not always all about money and I know many Norwegians who are tired of the cruise ships who dump trash in the fjords, and whose travelers don’t really add to local economies and think nothing of taking Norwegian resources for themselves, not to mention throngs of people trampling all over Lofoton and other fragile ecosystems.

I was planning on relocating to Norway (Oslo) this year. Now with all the problems with the Coronavirus, job losses etc. My move looks uncertain. 🙁

How do you think Norway will handle this pandemic and do you think this will affect others wishing to relocate/travel to Norway?

Kind regards

Patricia (UK)
