A few useful links:
- airlines: KLM / Delta through Amsterdam (Skyteam), SAS through Copenhagen (Star Alliance), Lufthansa through Frankfurt (Star Alliance), Norwegian from a range of European cities (but careful, they sometimes use small, out-of-the-way airports)
- Widerøe is the regional carrier, but they also run a search engine that puts together itineraries using the major airlines for international travel to/from Norway. They often come up with flight combinations that kayak, expedia, orbitz, etc. don’t find, and usually have better prices.
- customs and regulations for entry to Norway (including duty-free alcohol limits)
- Bergen weather
- route planner
- road conditions
- practical information post from April 2007
