Getting to Trondheim:
For those who are younger than 26 years:
Both Norwegian and SAS offer youth tickets, both domestically and (sometimes) internationally, with reduced prices. The price difference is often considerable so it is worth checking it out! On SAS you will have to create and log in to an account (this is free), while at Norwegian you just write the code UNDER26 at the bottom of the screen after searching for the flight.
