Additional information and Comments

It would be brilliant if Molde was more accessible from the UK. For example, a direct flight from London Stansted airport to Molde airport. At present, to visit my daughter I have a 13 hour journey, travelling from Essex to London Heathrow airport by train, then via Oslo airport and on to Molde. Is there a better route, I wonder?
