During my first semester at NTNU, I traveled back to Indonesia to visit my son and family after I finished with my exam in December 2007. I tried to find the cheapest flight ticket from Norway to Indonesia. I chatted with my friend who was living in Netherlands and she helped me to find the cheapest flight ticket. Apparently, the cheapest one was Emirates Air and departed from Dusseldorf, German. So, I bought ticket from Dusseldorf to Jakarta and then tried to find the cheapest ticket from Norway. I bought the ticket separately from Norwegian Airlines website which was Trondheim – Oslo and Oslo – Dusseldorf.

Since all the tickets were bought separately, I had to pick up my check-in luggage in each airport 😦 and had to stay overnight at Dusseldorf airport because the flight from Dusseldorf was early in the morning.

After googling in the internet, I found out that I can put my luggage in a locker in Dusseldorf airport which cost around 3 euro (now). After arriving in Dusseldorf, I put my luggage in the airport and took the train to the city center which was around 15 km from the airport and it cost 2.4 euro (Wikitravel). It only took less than 15 minutes to the city center. I walked around and took some pictures with my pocket camera for a few hours before heading back to the airport.

In the airport, I slept in the departure hall (which was allowed to do and it was safe). In the morning when I woke up before checked-in time, suddenly one guy came to me and gave me 2 boxes of orange juice 🙂
