NORWEGIAN is launching a new direct route from the UK to Billund – just one month after Ryanair closed its base at the Danish airport.

The new route will begin operating from London Gatwick on June 30, with six departures per week taking place in the summer.

Norwegian’s new route is good news for Brits wanting to head to Legoland Billund, with the theme park offering free entry to kids flying with Norwegian from Gatwick.

And the news gets even better because when Legoland Billund reopens in April, there will be a new pirate playground with a huge ship and inclusive play area.

Billund has been known as the ‘Capital of Children’ since 2010 and was the first Danish town to be named a UNICEF Child Friendly City five years ago, thanks to all its family-friendly attractions.

As well as Legoland, the town is also home to Lego House children’s museum, the huge Lalandia water park, WOW PARK Billund adventure park and the Teddy Bear Art Museum – enough to keep you very busy.

Sun Travel recently visited Billund – here’s what it’s like to go.

Flights will depart London Gatwick at 2.35pm local time before touching down in Billund at 4.10pm.

The return services will then leave Billund at 5.10pm, touching down in the UK at 6.55pm.

During the summer months, flights will operate every day apart from Saturdays.

After the summer, year-round service will fly between the two destinations five times per week.

Tickets are already on sale, with Sun Online Travel finding one-way fares from £42 per person.

Gatwick Airlines Relations Manager, Jennifer Newman, said: “We are very pleased to welcome Norwegian’s new, direct, year-round route connecting London Gatwick with Billund.

“The route offers crucial accessibility for both business and leisure travellers and contributes to London Gatwick’s impressive network across Europe and further afield.”

Sara Neergaard, Head of Communications and Public Affairs at Norwegian Denmark, said: “Norwegian and Billund Airport have been close partners for many years, and we have long considered the airport to have great growth potential for us.

“With Ryanair’s exit, we now see a unique opportunity to strengthen our presence at Billund Airport and Western Denmark. The new route to London Gatwick is the first step, and we are continuously looking at the possibility of expanding our offer from Billund further.”

Earlier this year, low-cost airline Ryanair scrapped flights to and from Aalborg, after Denmark announced new aviation taxes.

Meanwhile, at the end of last year, Norwegian launched three new routes from London Gatwick and Newcastle Airport.

 London Gatwick is getting two new routes.

One route will operate to Ålesund – a port town in Norway that’s known for its connections to the Norwegian Fjords.

Meanwhile, Riga, the capital of Latvia, will also get a new Norwegian service.

Newcastle Airport will also get a new route to Copenhagen from May.

Other new flight routes launching from the UK

Plenty of other airlines are launching a host of new routes from UK airports; here are a few…

  • Jet2 is launching a new service from Bournemouth and Agadir, just weeks after Ryanair scrapped the very same route
  • Tour operator Jet2 is also launching new flights from Leeds Bradford Airport to Marrakesh
  • easyJet is launching a new route from London Gatwick to Brest in Brittany this June
  • Eastern Airways is poised to operate a direct route between Newquay Airport in north Cornwall and London Southend Airport in Essex
  • British Airways is also launching a new flight from London Heathrow to Tbilisi on March 30.

Meanwhile, Virgin Atlantic has also launched two new flights to exciting destinations departing from London Heathrow.

And Ryanair is set to launch five new routes from a UK airport just in time for summer holidays.

Michael Landon didn’t allow ‘any a--holes’ on ‘Little House on the Prairie’ set: actress

Before Melora Hardin starred in "The Office," she headed to the prairie.

The actress, who got her start in Hollywood as a child, auditioned for "Little House on the Prairie" when she was 9 years old. She was later cast in an episode to play Belinda, one of Albert Ingalls’ (Matthew Labyorteaux) classmates.

The 57-year-old, who has recently launched a collage-style wallpaper line, Storyboards by Melora Hardin, has fond memories of helping to bring the hit series to life. She told Fox News Digital that Michael Landon, who starred as beloved patriarch Charles Ingalls and directed the series, was revered on set by the fellow "Prairie" kids.

‘LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE’ STAR ALISON ARNGRIM SAYS NETFLIX REBOOT CAN'T RECREATE MICHAEL LANDON'S 'MAGIC'

"Michael Landon made everyone feel safe," she recalled. "He trusted in us, and we trusted in him. He was protective of us. And I think that was one of the most important lessons I learned early on [in Hollywood] – surround yourself with the people who make you feel safe."

"I’ve always said that acting and making movies and TV are one of the greatest team sports around," she shared. "And I believe Michael Landon was my first example of that. I learned from him right away. And it just felt amazing to be around people who made you feel safe to be a fool in front of, to fail in front of. As a performer, especially that young, it felt good to not feel constantly judged or challenged."

"It’s about working with great collaborators and not tolerating a--holes," she said. "He didn’t have any a--holes on set. And I think that’s super important. If you feel safe, then you can do great work."

Hardin had already been working "for a long time already" in showbusiness when she joined "Little House." But Landon was different, she shared.

"I worked with people who weren’t quite as nice as he was," said Hardin. "We had school on the set, and it was just so much fun to have other kids in school with you, working with you."

"A lot of times I would be doing a movie or something, and I’d be the only [kid] in the room," Hardin continued. "I’d be the only one in the classroom with the set teacher. And it was such a joy to have other kids when you got to be in class with them and then work with them. That was joyful. We would also play games. It was a really fun way to be a child, to be a child actor. It was certainly a highlight."

Hardin revealed that from the moment she walked on set, Landon was "so warm."

"He worked great with kids," she gushed. "He really knew how to make us feel comfortable. He would let us do our thing. He wasn’t a meddling director. He was very joyful.

"He had a longtime relationship with his crew and he surrounded people he really trusted. So it was seamless. He was just joyful. I never felt he was stressed. Maybe he was [working behind the scenes], but I never felt it as a kid. He just seemed to be having a great time… Everybody seemed to be smiling in my world as a young kid."

Hardin also instantly bonded with Labyorteaux, 58.

"I remember during my first audition, we had to do this flashback sequence of us dancing together," she recalled. "I was a dancer. I started dancing at 5. I was very serious about ballet. He was not yet cast as Albert, but he was cast as a young Charles [Ingalls]. We danced together, and he later told me he really wanted me to get the part because I didn’t step on his toes like the other girls did."

Hardin returned for the 1983 TV movie "Little House: Look Back to Yesterday." She played a new character, Michele, who was Albert’s love interest. They shared their first on-screen kiss.

"We both had a crush on each other," she said. "It was an incredibly sweet moment. I think it was something that we were both nervous about and we both enjoyed it. That’s a forever memory for me. And we became best friends. He’s my youngest daughter’s godfather. It was a wonderful, fortuitous moment in our lives."

"Little House on the Prairie" concluded after nine seasons in 1983. Landon passed away in 1991 at age 54 from pancreatic cancer. It was a somber time for the cast.

"I was still so young when he died, but I remember we were all sad," she said. "… But I was just so happy that I had that time with him, that time we shared on set and the creative experience we shared. I got to witness what a lovely person he was. I will always remember him like that."

Today, Harden has been keeping busy with her wallpaper line.

"My interest in art started really young," she explained. "My dad’s an actor and an artist. And I think I learned very young from him that, yes, you can be an actor, but it’s also really important to have other things you’re passionate about. And I’ve been passionate about art, and I’ve always been passionate about collage. I don’t think I was ever a great artist. I tried painting. But it didn’t spark me in the way that collage does."

"When I made my first film, I realized that collaging is sort of what you did in the editing room," she shared. "It all goes together. I’m a songwriter and that’s like collaging, too, because you’re putting together words and melodies in a way that belong together somehow. I think it’s always been who I am."

In January, Netflix confirmed that a reboot of the classic show had been given the green light. The streaming giant described it as "a transformed adaptation." It will feature Rebecca Sonnenshine of "The Boys" and "The Vampire Diaries" as showrunner and executive producer.

Hardin feels it should be given a chance.

"There’s certainly a place for some sweet, feel-good content," said Hardin. "I remember when a new ‘Hawaii Five-0’ was announced. I thought, ‘I remember when that was on when I was a kid,' and I loved it. Can they do it justice?’

"I think it’s the same feeling here [for fans]. When you lived during the time of the original and got to experience it, of course you’re going to feel like, ‘There’s no way they will be able to do it just as well.’ But that’s not trust."

"I think now is a great time for feel-good content," she said. "We need some sweetness. We need some entertainment. I do think there’s a need for warmth and stories that celebrate commitment to family. I think that’s important."

"I think those good values of the olden days would be a nice thing to have on TV today for young people," she continued. "So much stuff these days is jaded and so dark. And yet, ‘Little House’ was just filled with so much love, heart and good values. Who wouldn’t want to experience that today?"
