Looks absolutely great - having travelled nearby in the summer (Abisko, Kungsleden etc) I'm very jealous of your winter trip.
We flew with Norwegian, and I was very happy with them except for one small problem. Our overstuffed Vulcans weighed about 23kg each. We thought that our 2 x 20kg allowance would easily cover this, but the automated scales said no. Easily remedied as we took the side pockets off and zipped them together as secondary luggage. One set of pockets disappeared for a while at Oslo airport but it was all sorted in the end and a great trip.
Happy anniversary to you both!

How does the Carinthia Arctic bag compare to the Brit issue one. Is it a smaller pack size and warmer.

About the same size pack size ,
larger around the shoulders ,
double lined foot box ,
re-enforced foot box and hood area .
its a far better bag .

I had issues coming back from Gardermoen this year. All the scales were automated and the one I picked wouldn't take my bag. It showed 23kg which didn't seem right to me, it felt bang on 20kg.
I waited a few minutes for the queue to die down and took the opp to put my bag on all the scales in the row. All weighed a different amount.
23.5kg the highest, 18.5 kg the lowest. Lesson learnt; head straight for the manned desk or try all the machines.
Good point mate

Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
Can I just say for the record... I think your Sylvia is an absolutely TOP chick to have asked to go along, see the lights and generally be wreathed in grins in every pic so far!
Have fun, Sylvia and Cliff! The dogs will go like a 'bat out of heck' the first hour or so of each new / fresh start after they are rested. Hang on and keep some 'on you own / alone kit' on your person when driving the sled. Hopefully you will get a 'training' day / time to get the feel of how the teams and sleds handle.
