RE: Manchester Flights
I guess i could get to Glasgow, or Stansted for that matter, but it’s difficult to find any cheaper flights with Ryan Air than £75 Round trip inc taxes, and considering train fares and bus fares to and from the airports i wouldnt save that much.
If i book really early with BA (like two months) i can get the direct flight to OSL (two hours closer to Oslo than Torp) for about £160.
I think it’s trange that there arent any no-frills airlines flying from Scandinavia to the north of England. If RyanAir can get enough passangers to fly to Glasgow, Manchester or Liverpool should not be ANY problem. The football interest alone could almost cover it.
