attack from the south

– A step people forget
– It’s a good idea to take your time and look right, the extra half hour you spend can save you thousands of kroner, he says.
It’s a step in particular that he thinks a lot of people overlook.
– Pick up the phone and call. Don’t just click on websites, says Lang.
According to Lang, it happens that tour operators are not always able to update their pages.
– If the travel company receives last-minute cancellations, and there is a short time before departure, it is not certain that they will have time to post the flight online. Then it’s smart to connect, says Lang.
It is also believed that it is wiser to contact classic travel agencies such as Berg Hansen.

A heat wave is better than gray weather

– The heat wave does not have much effect on sale. With us, Greece stands out as the most popular summer holiday country by far, followed by Croatia, Cyprus and Bulgaria, says Beatrice Rivera.
And just as the gray weather seems to be tightening its grip here in Norway, the heat is still firmly gripping southern Europe, according to the meteorologist.
– The slightly warmer air has moved to the east, and it’s now warmer in Italy and Greece. Meteorologist Irene Walstad Restsund says there is already a red alert in southern Italy.
