Very true, Jamesair. Bergamo is relatively simple to get to from Milan (about as far as Malpensa but with a bus rather than rail connection), but I've heard that Sandefjord is a serious ball-ache to get to from Oslo. Oslo is one route that I am really surprised doesn't operate from Newcastle these days. I went there on the good old Braathens 737 back in 1998 and it was full.
