Dmitrii BondarenkoNovember 13, 2016If you wanna get to Oslo, the best option is to buy ticket to the NSB train by application Ruter or NSB. In this case you spend almost twice less than by Flytoget and get free ticket in Oslo for 2,5h.Upvoted 9 hours ago
JB DI RaffaeleNovember 28, 2017One of the best airport, very modern, calm and easy to reach from Oslo within 25min. We had to stand up for security check before departure making the situation a bit less pleasant.Upvoted Mar 19
Cenker KöseMay 12, 2018No need to go for express train, since the city centre is just 2 stops (~25 min) from the airport with regular line and half price of the express.Upvoted 4 days ago
Jonathan KhooMay 3, 2014Check the bottoms of seats for plugs (some have them), also found by wall at Gate 39 by the Yo Sushi

The local NSB-train is less expencive than "Flytoget" and taxi, and it often gets you to the center Oslo about as fast as the "Flytog".
HenrikasJanuary 19, 2018Nice place to do some work with laptop - near gate D2b, there is small row of seats with power sockets behind them, and it is usually quiet there.
Lisa StarbucksMarch 3, 2018Super modern and clean airport. It looks like a organic hotel with lots of wood 🤩
Tap water is just as good as bottled. Bring an empty bottle and go to the water stations at gates A10, B2, C4, D4, E12 or F17/F19.
Top tip for budget/water: bring an empty bottle through security (allowed) and fill it with water in the restrooms. The first taps u get to have ajustable water temperature :)
Renato FernandesMay 10, 2017Use the NSB train to get to city centre in only 25 minutes. It is cheaper than Flytoget and runs with a good frequency.
Gonny Zwaag, van derSeptember 23, 2018This airport is far (really far!) from Oslo. Fortunately there's a fast train (6x per hour) to the city center, which takes only half an hour. Also connections to Lillehammer and Trondheim.
Not a bad airport. There are two lounges after security, and the gates are organised. Getting there is definitely made easy by the airport express train, which takes only 20 minutes from the city.
Jeffrey ZeldmanOctober 24, 2013Ulp! There is an unexpected mid airport passport check for international departures. Wish I had known! Non-EU citizens, give yourself an hour extra time to be safe.
Phillipe Casorla SagotJuly 24, 2017Other than the fact that this airport is not travel-cheap friendly, the airport is quite nice and clean, lots of good restaurants and places to hang out. Get the shuttle train to the city, worth it.
Tero AngeriaMarch 10, 2018Operates even when the weather is really rough. Take the train to Oslo Center. Way cheaper than taxi, and much faster.
Best place to work is at Sinnstaggen, second floor in the restaurant to the left after security. Usually quiet, for an airport
If you want to ride on an airplane, try one of the gates. A very effective way of boarding and quite terrific.
Sushi at the Yo! conveyer-belt sushi restaurant in the international departure hall (close to gates 38-39) was very, very good. And expensive, but so is everything in Norway.
A compact airport in Scandinavian style architecture.
Easy to get around, not too large Airport with clear signs anywhere you need to go. Expensive food & drink. Free WiFi via Avinor for 4 hrs. Use the Vy app for easy train ticket control, has english.
A well organised airport. If you are a smoker - bad news, only outside. Best way to get to and from town is Flytog. Taxi is expensive. Flytog stops also at Lilleström. Convenient for expo visitors.
Don't waste money on the Airport express train - regional trains depart towards the city center frequently, are just as fast and cost almost half the price. Staff at the NSB counter is happy to help.
KostasAugust 15, 2022The normal public transport train to Oslo is as fast as Flytoget but cheaper. Two water fountains after one of the security check points to refill your water bottle.
Nice and clean, Nordic style. Easy to get around. Shops, bars and diners both domestic and international terminal, but Norwegian prices. Get a cheap haircut in the domestic terminal.
Konstantin HaaseAugust 21, 2016When arriving from an intercontinental flight connecting to some other Schengen country (EU/CH) and you have carry on only, short cut through "domestic connections".
Mikke MusMay 30, 2018Efficient, orderly, modern and relatively relaxed atmosphere. One of the better airports, however when it comes to airports the smaller the better.- Eilert Isaksen-WarthMarch 10, 2014Hide from all the noise and stress by grabbing a bite at Sinnataggen. Great food! Also, if you don't want to stand in line for using the restrooms, Sinnataggen is the place to go.
If you are a student of an institution that uses an eduroam hotspot, you may be able to get some signal here. That way you don't need to log-on to other hotspots.Upvoted Mar 21
helen keeganMay 28, 2014Bring an empty water bottle through security and you can fill it with water from the water fountain before going through customs. Tap water ftw!
Peter SmetsJuly 15, 2013Once you go from the domestic to the international gates, there is no more decent food - unless you want greaseballs from Pizza Hut. So when hungry hang around in the domestic area for a bit.
MuratMarch 2, 2023Passanger friendly, spacious, peaceful. Fairly small airport, but good enough. Officers at security and passport control are very kind and friendly. Food options are limited, but fine.
T MJune 18, 2019Take the express train to and from the city centre. It's really fast and convenient in only 20 minutes.
Piotr SkorackiMarch 4, 2013ISIC cards are acknowledged on the Flytoget express train. With the student's discount price you can get to the centre of Oslo in <20 minutes for 85 NOK. Plugs are available on board of the train. Read more
Erwin VanheckeFebruary 28, 2015Efficiënt and clean. Best way to get to the city centre is taking the regular train. (The express train is much more expensive and doesn't save you that much time)
BenOctober 19, 2014When arriving at the top of the stairs at the departure Hall, do a sharp left turn. The check-in machines there have way shorter queues than the others which you would see straight ahead.
Waiting for a domestic flight you'll find power outlets under the high bench along the wall at Monolitten and along the bottom by the windows at the bar on the left halfway down.
Cuneyt TekinFebruary 3, 2015If you struggle with your Staralliance Gold card for fast track, ask officer to try on different scanners..Worked well for me with Aegean Gold on SAS flight.
Annie WernerNovember 7, 2014Long layover? The bathrooms down the stairs next to the fine salmon shop have bigger vestibules with private sinks in each for cleaning up. Kinda hidden but such a good find.
Barry JennerJune 28, 2017Modern, clean and very efficient. Great airport. Lots and lots of duty free for those who have forgotten gifts for the family!
Fredrik StenbeckAugust 8, 2014Tricky process to access the free wifi. First find the option and them fill in mobile number, get SMS, fill in code. Not user friendly!
Beautiful airport with some really good food options all over the place. Unless you're leaving for northern Norway.
Open and spacious terminal makes flying a pleasant experience. This starts when you enter the terminal and follows you all the way to the plane. Unless you're at a bus-gate, that is.
One of the most efficient airports I know. Usually less than 20 minutes from the train to the gate.Upvoted 1 week ago
Jae Han KimApril 15, 2018Clean, modern and efficient airport....small minus that there are too much of shopping space. You have to go through shopping area with so much candies....
Take the Nor-Way bus express to anywhere in Oslo. Departure every 20 minutes, clean and comfortable coaches. Unless your destination is near a railway station, it's cheaper and quicker than the train.
Elle MiddletonMay 27, 2018Lovely modern airport... if going to Oslo take the train into city! Much faster & cheaper. Cab Fare is extremely expensive. You will pay 200 usd vs 25 usd.
Bart SchuijtOctober 28, 2014Heading to Oslo city center? Take a local (NSB) train R10 to town: It'll cost 50% less compared to the flytoget train and is almost as fast.
Friendly and helpful staff )) I forgot Belgian ale on board and in the morning they returned those two nice bottles to me! :) was as happy as a puppy ))
You can take the Flybussekspressen (Express Bus) instead of train. Stops in many bus stations in Oslo. Cheaper if you buy a ticket online. Free wifi. Ask at the info office or visit nor-way.no- Marián BeniakOctober 23, 2014Nice and comfortable interior. There is wood everywhere...it makes you feel a little bit warmer.
