luckykaaI usually book flights and hotels with Expedia.co.uk. I've had good customer experience with them in the past. Sadly, expedia didn't have any hotels with single rooms, so I went to Booking.com. They did but they only do hotels. So that meant I'd need to do two different bookings.
As I said, there are only 2 flights from Tromsø each week. I didn't want the Saturday one because I'd rather have at least one weekend at home before Christmas, and 3 days didn't seem enough so I considered the Tuesday one. That gets back to Gatwick at 23:50! Add train travel to the end and I'd be getting in at 2am. A 2-stop route via Oslo wasn't much more expensive but if I do that then I might as well have a look at Oslo, so I tried to find a way to add a stopover via any popular flight booking website. They wouldn't let me. So I tried doing a multi-stop instead.
It seems that flights that exist as singles don't exist as multi-stops. But the travel websites never tell you which flights need to be changed. Decided to give up and book three separate flights directly with Norwegian Air Shuttle.
Still, I finally managed to book my three flights, and two hotels, so that's that out of the way. I just need to plan what I'm actually going to do when I'm there.
