EVE · A compact, lounge-free Avinor gateway for Harstad, Narvik, and the Lofoten/Vesterålen catchment — simple one-terminal navigation and solid Flybussen links, trading zero lounge product, thin programme-hours F&B, and Arctic single-runway weather (plus a shared civil/military field) for reliable regional access.
SKN · A tiny, lounge-free Avinor short-field for Stokmarknes and Vesterålen — card-only digital vending after security when machines are stocked, Sortland Taxi airport bus toward Sortland, and coastal weather on a ~920 m runway as the real tradeoff against total terminal simplicity.

Midway between Harstad and Narvik — weather still owns the clock
Compact terminal; Arctic single-runway weather and long coach legs are the real delay modes — pad OSL and Lofoten connections.
One building — check-in landside, everything else after security
Single terminal; all named shops and cafés sit after security; walking distances are short.
Foodbar + News Bar + Point — choice thins with the programme
Foodbar, News Bar, Point Kiosk, and Tax Free after security; hours follow flights, not a 24/7 mall.

Short Vesterålen strip — coastal weather and Saturday hours own the clock
Tiny terminal; Vesterålen weather on a ~920 m 08/26 and a short Saturday open window are the real planning constraints — pad Bodø/Tromsø/Oslo connections.
One compact passenger building at Skagen on Langøya
Single terminal; post-security Cafe + card-only vending on floor 1; walking distances are short.
Post-security Cafe + card-only vending — still eat in town if banks are thin
One Cafe plus card-only vending after security on Avinor’s directory; confirm the café is open for your bank, otherwise plan town or onboard meals.
