Traveling to Nordic countries, especially Norway, can be expensive, but using points and miles can help offset some of the significant expenses.

If you’ve set your sights on visiting the Arctic Circle, here are 10 reasons to consider adding Tromsø to your list.

You Can Get There Using Points and Miles

You can use Delta SkyMiles to book direct or connecting flights on SAS, but routes are currently limited. Although you can use SkyMiles to get to Oslo, Oslo to Tromsø is not currently available.

It’s in the Arctic Circle

The city is also a base for exploring more of the Arctic, including the Svalbard islands further north. Adventurers and scientists commonly use Tromsø as a base for further Arctic travels.

You Can Book Hotels Using Hotel Loyalty Points

When you travel to a country where food, activities, and lodging can be expensive, booking your accommodations using hotel loyalty points can help offset expenses.

You Can See the Northern Lights

The best visibility is from September through April, when the Arctic nights are long. Dark skies, clear weather, and Tromsø’s prime location in the Arctic Circle contribute to the ability to view the phenomenon even when solar flares are less visible elsewhere.
