This is the most exciting news I’ve seen all week! Billund is our all time favourite family destination to visit - but when Ryanair got rid of the direct flights from Manchester, it made it a bit of a ball ache for us midlands / northern folks to access. But from April next year, Norwegian will be flying between Manchester and Billund!
You have to visit, there is nothing else to be said 😆
