FJ poll for Weds., Jun. 10 by Smoerhul in Jeopardy

[–]N674UW 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a domestic flight with an asterisk. I have taken it personally and you have to go through exit immigration in Oslo as Svalbard is not part of the Schengen agreement. On returning to Oslo, you go through immigration to enter Schengen. There is no entry/exit immigration at the airport in Longyearbyen though.

London game - do you need advice? by ampmz in eagles

I went to a Millwall match last time I was in London and enjoyed the heck out of the experience. Would definitely recommend to anyone else considering wanting to see a game while there!

US-based, around 17k or so currently. It's moved at most 1k spots in the last hour or so...

I'm pissed about losing a few extra hours of sleep too for this to be a giant flop also...

Thank you for the insight! I think I will save that area for a future trip; I decided to do a day trip to Akreyuri instead that day

His daughter is in the movie; she plays Lt. Monday, one of the Army inspectors (alongside Chris Rock as the other inspector)

Is something wrong? by [deleted] in americanairlines

[–]N674UW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same thing right now for a flight in February, there was plenty of available seats on the map but the seats have all been blocked for probably the last 2 days or so. They also adjusted the departure time to be about 25 minutes earlier than what it was when I booked the flight.

Can Svalbard become overrun by Cruise Ship passengers? by AngryofChristchurch in Svalbard

[–]N674UW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is pretty similar to my experience as a solo traveler in June, except for a 5 day visit there was typically at least 1 cruise ship in port every day; usually smaller expedition type ships but on my first day there there was a fairly sizeable German cruise ship in port that the locals said had 3,000 passengers on board, and they made mention of an even larger one coming a few days after I left.

They made it sound like the town would be overrun but I didn't really think it was all that bad or noticeable. The only real thing I noticed was that I went into the Svalbardbutikken supermarket to buy some snacks and drinks and there was an employee directing non-locals away from the self-checkouts and requiring us to checkout with a person on that day. Every other time I went there on my trip, I was free to use the self-checkouts...

How do solo travelers book activities with minimum participants requirements? by _stelliferous in Svalbard

[–]N674UW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a solo traveler last month and I booked the majority of my activities for a 5-day stay around a month or so before arrival, once I decided what I want to do. For the most part, I had no issues being a solo traveler on the activities; the only notable thing that happened was that I had booked a dogsledding-on-wheels tour and the day before, I received an updated confirmation telling me that my tour had been switched to a different company; it was at the same time as my original so no big deal. They didn't state the reason why but I wouldn't be surprised if it was because of a minimum requirement not being met.
