Saturday is closed — and short-field weather owns the clock
Tiny terminal; Saturday fully closed, Sunday split hours, and Arctic STOL weather on ~0.9–1.0 km 14/32 are the real planning constraints.
One compact Sørkjosen passenger building — no second terminal myth
Single passenger terminal; no named airside shop on the current Avinor directory; walking distances are short.
No named Avinor shop — eat in Storslett / Sørkjosen or on the aircraft
Avinor’s shopping page lists no café or kiosk; treat F&B as unreliable and plan town or onboard meals.

Winter banks beat 'small airport' instincts
Build more buffer Nov–Mar than the terminal size suggests.
Use official outlet names
Late evening choice shrinks — grab Narvesen or landside options earlier if your flight is odd-hours.
