Coastal Vestland strip — North Sea weather and Saturday gaps own the clock
Tiny terminal; coastal weather on a short 07/25 and Saturday hour gaps are the real planning constraints — pad Bergen/Oslo connections.
One compact passenger building on Florelandet next to Florø centre
Single terminal next to town; Cockpiten Café is the named Avinor F&B entry; walking distances are short.
Cockpiten Café when flights run — still eat in town if banks are thin
One named café on Avinor’s directory (Cockpiten Café); confirm it is open for your bank, otherwise plan town or onboard meals.

Single fixed-wing terminal; no named airside shop on the current Avinor directory; walking distances are short.
No named Avinor shop — eat in Sandane or on the aircraft
Avinor’s shopping page lists no café or kiosk; treat F&B as unreliable and eat in town or onboard.
FRO · A compact, lounge-free Avinor coastal airport next to Florø centre — Cockpiten Café when flights run, an hourly Skyss bus at :10, and North Sea weather on a ~1.26 km runway as the tradeoff against total terminal simplicity.
SDN · A compact, lounge-free Avinor Nordfjord airport perched across the Anda peninsula — no named café on Avinor’s shopping list, taxi or rental car for the ~10 km into Sandane, and Vestland weather on a 970 m 08/26 runway as the tradeoff against total terminal simplicity.
