Takes with wrong legitimization at the airport - being refused to travel.
www.nrk.no Tar med feil legitimasjon på flyplassen - nektes å reiseKan du tenke deg en mer frustrerende start på reisen enn å bli nektet ombordstigning? På flyplassen Torp skjer det ofte.
Remember to bring your passports, folk ;)
TL;DR in English: This article is about how passengers who only have national ID cards on their way to the UK are being denied boarding at Torp airport. The rules apply to both children and adults. Passports or national ID cards with travel rights are the only Norwegian travel and ID documents that are valid abroad. The ID cards are only valid in EU / EEA countries and Switzerland. A number of countries have introduced temporary border controls in Schengen. An overview of temporary border controls in EU and EEA countries can be found on the EU Commission’s website. The app “Travel Ready” from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs provides Norwegian citizens traveling with easy access to travel information, travel advice and not least travel registration.

Instance updated - and other info.
cross-posted from: https://snkkis.me/post/5957
> Snkkis.me has now updated to BE: 0.18.0 👏 👏 👏. This brings a bunch of security and stability to the instance. > > Now to the other info: this instance will be shut down later today, as we try to switch server region. Currently, the server is hosted in the US, which is making it slow for Europeans, and that is kinda stupid when it's meant for nordic people... I hope this works. I will make a new post when we turn off the server and another one when the server gets back online to say if it was successful or not. > > Cya!
