Oslo Airport Gardermoen (OSL)

The terminal and gate areas at Oslo Airport

Oslo Airport Gardermoen operates under a single passenger terminal building divided by destination zone: domestic flights within Norway use gates A, B and C, while international flights use gates D, E and F (with Schengen flights in D and E and non-Schengen flights in F). During peak morning hours in summer, eight additional gates (G1 to G8) handle international Schengen departures and are reached by a shuttle bus running every three minutes from the dedicated G stop in the international area.

For connecting flights from abroad onto a domestic flight in Norway, Domestic Transfer at gate D2 (open daily from 07:00 to 23:00) lets eligible passengers on a single through ticket scan their boarding pass and walk through customs into the domestic departure hall without collecting and re-checking their hold bags. If your baggage tag says only OSL, if you hold separate tickets, or if you arrive outside 07:00–23:00, you collect your bags in the arrivals hall, clear customs, and check them in again in the departures hall.

Getting to and from Oslo Airport

Trains run directly from the station at Oslo Airport to central Oslo in about 20 minutes:

• Airport Express Train (Flytoget): stops at Lillestrøm, Oslo Central Station (Oslo S), Nationaltheatret, Skøyen, Lysaker, Stabekk, Sandvika, Asker and Drammen.
• Vy regional and local trains: all Vy regional trains on the Skien–Oslo–Lillehammer–Trondheim line and Vy local trains on the Kongsberg–Eidsvoll line call at Oslo Airport.

By bus, the Airport Express Coach (Flybussen) runs between Oslo city centre and Oslo Airport every 20 minutes every day, NOR-WAY Bussekspress (Flybussekspressen) serves Majorstuen, Bekkestua, Ski and Fredrikstad, OSL Ekspressen serves Furuset, Tveita, Bøler, Skullerud, Abildsø and Lambertseter, Ruter operates local bus stops near the airport, and Vy Shuttle connects the terminal with nearby airport hotels.

Driving between Oslo Central Station (Oslo S) and the airport takes about 40 minutes. The taxi stand is outside the international arrivals hall; Avinor advises booking your taxi in advance at the ground-level taxi booking machine outside the terminal (or in a taxi company app) to receive upfront pricing, after which the car normally arrives within three to five minutes. Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Europcar, Hertz and Sixt operate car rental desks at the airport.

Oslo Airport with children

Strollers and child car seats are checked in as special baggage: you print a separate baggage tag at the check-in kiosk or desk and take the stroller or seat to the special-baggage counter. Compact travel strollers that meet your airline's cabin-baggage rules may be taken to the gate, and loaner strollers are available inside the terminal.

At the security checkpoint, you may carry baby food and formula required for the trip even in containers larger than 100 ml, without placing them in a plastic bag; take them out of your carry-on bag for screening. Empty drinking bottles are allowed through security and can be refilled at the airport water stations. Children's stuffed animals and toys must pass through the X-ray scanner, and each person walks through the security arch individually. Children aged 5 to 12 travelling as unaccompanied minors receive a travel folder at check-in, and a parent or guardian can obtain an escort pass at check-in to accompany a child all the way to the gate on domestic and Schengen flights, or to passport control on non-Schengen flights.

What to check before you go to OSL

Several airlines at Oslo Airport recommend arriving at least two hours before departure. Security screening and baggage check-in close after the last departure at night and reopen around 04:00. Self-service check-in kiosks print boarding passes and bag tags, and self-service bag drop accepts checked suitcases up to 20 kg; bags over 20 kg and backpacks with straps must be handed in at a staffed or special-baggage counter.

If a member of your family needs PRM assistance, book it through your airline or travel agency at least 48 hours before departure; wheelchairs are also available to borrow inside the terminal, and a non-travelling family member can request an escort card at check-in to help a passenger to the gate.
