So, I did something stupid on Friday. Luckily, it all worked out fine. --I made it to the States on time and hassle free, except for the beginning of the trip, which was my fault. The mistake? Quite simply, I forgot to check which airport I was flying out of, and ended up going to the wrong one.
So, the lesson to learn from this is that Oslo has a couple of airports. Gardermoen is the main one, but there is also one called Rygge. They are about 2 hours apart by car, so if you go to the wrong one, you could be screwed. Luckily, I flew SAS and they have flights out of both airports, and they put me on a flight from the airport I went to without charging me any extra fees.
So, although I'm rather embarrassed to admit what happened, everything worked out OK, and I was reminded that I need to make sure to pay attention to where my flights are flying in and out of. And as far as I'm concerned, SAS is a good airline that still cares about their customers, unlike pretty much every American airline around today.
Great information!
