When I checked the weather forecast for GOT a few days before arrival it was predicted to be rainy and cold. However, upon landing at GOT, I was met by periods of sunshine combined with gray clouds. It looked like the rain has dissipated and after checking in at the Elite Park Avenue hotel, I ventured out to explore the city and make the most out of my very short stay.

Walking around GOT

I had a good night sleep at the hotel and the following day I indulged in a generous buffet breakfast. After all, Scandinavians are known for their great displays and it would be a shame to skip that. ;)
Elite Park Avenue
The hotel is centrally located on Avenyn and within walking distance of shops and restaurants. In addition the airport bus stops right in front of it which is really convenient. My room was well appointed with the basics and it was comfortable. The highlight is the generous buffet included in the price of the room at the contemporary Park Aveny Cafe.

After breakfast I picked up my things and went to the airport. GOT is not big, but what it lacks in size it more than makes it up in charm and efficiency.

For this trip I purchased a SAS Plus fare which is basically a business class product on the ground and an economy plus one in the air. The ticket allowed flexibility for changes, was fully refundable and provided access to the lounge. Onboard you had a separate cabin but the middle seat was not blocked so you could potentially have a neighbor as it happened to me and the buy on board items along with alcoholic drinks were free.
I was greeted at the counter with a smile from a friendly agent who made some little talk about my destination. After issuing my boarding pass she kindly directed me to the domestic gate. Security was handled by two professional ladies who had a pleasant disposition and was stark contrast to some TSA agents in the U.S.

Once inside the gates I paid a visit to the SAS Lounge located next to the Menzies one used by BA and AB. An attendant greeted me with a smile and invited me to come in. The lounge was small but had good views of the ramp along with some computers and a contained area that was supposedly quiet. There was an area for publications and newspapers and counters with food and drink set ups.

Rest of the lounge

After my indulgent breakfast I decided to skip the food here and just have some tea. There was some salad along with soup with breads. Afterwards I proceeded to the gate where I waited for the inbound flight.
FA's

The plane arrived a couple of minutes late and some time after the FA's went onboard they decided to begin boarding starting with elite and SK + pax. There was a self boarding station next to the gate for premium passengers and I used it to board.

Cabin inside

As luck would have it I had a neighbor sitting next to me while all the other SK + rows had an empty middle row.
Boarding was conducted quickly and once finished we taxied for departure.
Take off

The FA's went into action quickly due to our short flight. There was a limited amount of snacks available and I had a wasa sandwich which is just crackers with cream cheese spread in between.

We descended shortly afterwards.

We arrived about 8 min. late.
