Are you one of the lucky ones who will soon be jetting off on a long-awaited weekend trip? Then our tips might just help make the start of your trip a little better!
There is little that beats a weekend getaway after a long week of work or school. For many, the weekend means those spontaneous trips we look forward to the most — and perhaps the trips where we treat ourselves to a little extra luxury. No matter how far or short the journey, whether you are heading to the countryside, a big city or the beach, a good start is crucial for the rest of the trip.
Pack smart
Save energy and effort by packing smart. Consider packing in hand luggage — after all, you are only going to be away for a couple of nights. Plan the days and evenings you will be away so you can more easily picture which outfits you will need. Of course, check the weather forecast the day before you travel so you are not caught off guard by wet weather you are not dressed for. Do not forget that today’s trainers can work perfectly well with a smarter outfit in the evening, so you may be able to leave that extra pair of shoes at home. If you and your travel companions end up shopping more than you have room for, you can always split the cost of an extra piece of checked luggage to bring all your goodies home.
Plenty of time at the airport
A weekend trip is short enough in itself, so by allowing a little extra time at Gardermoen the trip might feel just a little bit longer. Gardermoen Airport has a lot to offer travellers in terms of shopping, food and drink. Take your time browsing the Tax Free shops — you might just find a bargain in the clothing or sunglasses section. Take the time to enjoy a meal at one of the new restaurants, or if it is just your throat that needs refreshing, there is always a good start to be had with the classic pint at Gardermoen.
Check in in advance
Do not wait until you get to the airport to check in. Do it easily on your phone, well before you arrive at Gardermoen. You will save time and avoid queuing at the desk or the self-service machines. Most airlines operate a policy where you can check in as early as 24 hours before departure. If you have not reserved a seat in advance, it pays to check in as soon as you get the chance so you can choose where you want to sit. You might even be lucky enough to get a little extra legroom with a seat in the front row or by the emergency exits.
Drive to Gardermoen
Take the car for the most comfortable journey to the airport. If there are several of you, it makes even more sense. There is always something a little bit luxurious about being picked up along the way to Gardermoen, and a small road trip makes for a great start to the weekend. Parking is not an issue either — quite the opposite. Choosing to park at Dalen Parkering is doing yourself a favour. You save both time and money. If you fill the car, it is actually cheaper than the Airport Express Train, the bus or a taxi. It is also worth noting that no matter what time of day you land, we will pick you up at the airport and transport you safely back to your car.
