I need an extra bag (or bags) for the fly home. How do I arrange this?

For those flying with the main group, we will give you your flight reference several days in advance. Go to flysas.com – My Bookings. Enter your name and reference number. You will then be able to add bags and update your passport information before you fly. Heltberg have already included for two bags, 23kg each.

Will I have to stay in a quarantine hotel when I fly to Norway?

We hope that this will not happen. However, you should be aware that it is a possibility. Before you travel we will give you a letter detailing your address in Norway and explaining that you are a student returning home. Please make sure you carry this with you and show it to the border police if you have any concerns. You will also need to complete the following travel registration form no more than 72 hours before you enter Norway. Finally, you will need a Covid test no more than 24 hours prior to your UK departure. For those travelling on 21st June, we have been in touch with an offer of testing at York College on 20th. Ultimately, you are responsible for all these arrangements and although we will advise to the best of our ability, we do not have control or influence over the border policy at the time of travel. We are also not able to cover related costs.

When will we leave York?

Those flying with the main group need to be at York College no later than 4:30am on Monday 21st June. You should make your homestay families aware of this. All being well they will be happy to drive you to College. However, if not, York Station Taxis or another taxi company will be able to help. Please tell your homestay hosts not to drive down the College bus lane, even early in the morning. They will get fined for doing this.

Note that the SAS flight to Oslo has been cancelled so you will fly via Copenhagen (SK540 and SK462).

Can I stay in London independently after the trip on the 11th June?

In theory, yes. However, this is counted as independent travel and you need to follow the process for this. All travel paperwork for this MUST be completed by the end of Monday 7th June (see below).

How do I arrange independent Travel?

You and your parents need to complete the following Google form at least 3 working days before any trip. In addition parents of those aged under 18, or students if aged over 18, need to email York College explaining the details for the trip, including the address of where you are staying. Heltberg and York College will then approve jointly.
