If you want to fly anywhere from Oslo, make sure you have got enought time in Oslo Gardermoen. The queues can really be very long, and it is not a very efficient process.
And you should also plan some extra time when you go into Svalbardbutikken, Longyearbyen’s supermarket. It is kind of twice the size it used to be. But not everything is perfect (yet) …
