"staff were so lacking in intelligence"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | Hopeless girl at check-in. Young and poorly trained, didn't really know what she was doing. Staff at security were another level, the worst of the worst. I was (and am) wearing a substantial leg brace following an accident having fractured several bones. I was asked 4 times to remove the leg brace and each time I refused. I have to wear this 24 hours a day, 7 days week, to support my leg. The staff were so lacking in intelligence that they could not understand why some people have to wear body supports and as such, are disabled. Nor would these uncaring nor understanding staff allow me to walk through the scanner with my crutches and I was only allowed to collect them when collecting my other scanned items. The 2 young girls who appeared to be no older than 18 years did not have a clue what they were doing. They were rushing around like headless chickens achieving nothing other than being cruel to disabled passengers. My leg brace was initially scanned with an explosives scanner which was negative. The girl then disappeared around the rear of the conveyor belt to check other passengers items on the scanner machine and left me standing, without crutches, for at least 10 minutes during which time my bag with passport, phone, boarding pass, laptop, etc were sitting at the end of the belt for anyone and everyone to help themselves to. I was not allowed to move however during this time and when the inexperienced girl eventually returned, having rushed backwards and forwards whilst looking demented, she scanned me again including my shoes (I am unable to lift my left leg yet she expected me to do so despite seeing a leg brace 600mm in length) and said 'ok, go'. Unbelievable incompetence and no customer service skills. Worse, these 2 girls forced another female passenger to remove her even more substantial shoulder and arm brace following a very severe injury. She was unable to put this back on so one of the inexperienced girls tried to help her but without any care, empathy and kindness. The passenger was almost in tears as she was in so much pain having been forced to remove her support; she should have refused to remove a clearly obvious body-protection brace as I did. Passengers must stand up to these airport security bullies whose power has gone way beyond their thick heads. My worst experience in all my years of flying and Oslo Airport derives joy by insulting and being thoroughly wicked to disabled passengers. Oslo Airport, you are a disgrace to the world of flying and you should not be in business. I will think long and hard about my next step following a disgraceful security check towards a disabled passenger.

“this airport is a disaster”

(United Arab Emirates)

Trip Verified | Waited over 2 hours for our bags on arrival, we were the only arrival flight at the time. Other flights that arrived later received bags with no delay. The airline SAS blamed it on bad weather, the weather was good. No staff to help from SAS. All trains were substituted by buses due maintenance, had to wait in a line in the freezing cold for the buses. Wanted to enjoy downtown Oslo, but this airport is a disaster in many ways and I will avoid any stopovers here.

“excellent service and communication”

(Norway)

Not Verified | OSL has now been my home airport since March 2016, and I am proud of it and enjoy using it. High ceilings, large spaces and large windows form a basis for a travel friendly atmosphere. On this particular occasion, we almost missed our flight. Thanks to excellent service and communication between staff at Flytoget and the airport, our last minute check-in was smooth and swift.

"obviously micro assault for people"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | I travelled alone with my two children, ages 5 and 3. arrived 01 Aug. Imagine this will not be easy travel and also arrived to Oslo after midnight. Once reached passport control, the person who was checking passport, looked at passports of kids and says I cannot recognize them, UK passport will not be renewed until 5 years old and I said that is the system in the UK. Then the person asked me why I am in Oslo, I said for holiday, they then said "Holiday" "without kids mum", this is obviously micro assault for people / kids who may have separated parents and the persons face who was checking passport was looking at me suspiciously and added "where you stay", I said "oslo". This was all after I travelled with two young children and I was so tired, did not expect these questions.

"All in all, a good airport"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | I was flying EasyJet, so quite a bit away from main area! It's a bigger than expected airport, and very convenient for rail travellers with its station below. (Don't pay for the Airport Express, the local trains are cheaper and little slower.) It's a long trudge to and from the gates. Facilities are good, with shops bars and cafes liberally scattered. Plenty of duty free too if you want. Plenty seating, security and all staff is friendly. My only delay was at passport control, which was very slow even for a Brit. You can pay for Privium faster access if you are a frequent user of the airport. All in all, a good airport.

"Absolutely awful"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Absolutely awful. I shall not come to Norway again much as I like it. It took longer to get through immigration than to fly from London. Most immigration booths were shuttered. UK citizens cannot use automatic gates. Avinor staff friendly but powerless.

"Long queues and waits"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | If I could avoid Oslo airport I would. Long queues and waits for baggage and passport control. Three operatives for pass=port control, at a busy time. Then air line staff taking presidency over customers. Causing further delays. The operatives seemed to be having a fine old time chatting with a customers for very long times. No thought for customers who had on going flights to catch. Slow, slow slow, seems to be the Norwegian way, with little or no concept of customer service.

"Avoid if at all possible"

(United States)

Not Verified | Horrible experience with airport employees. We were in line for customs it was very long and we were worried we would miss our flight to Stockholm (which we did). I pleaded with them telling them we may miss our flight can you do something - they did not show any empathy. She said so is everyone else. She said it from a distance and did not bother to come over to where I was standing. The lack of customer service offered by the the airport employees and Norwegian Air made for a horrendous experience. Avoid if at all possible.

"Big, modern yet dirty airport"

(Switzerland)

Not Verified | Big, modern yet dirty airport. Nothing very shocking but you can see little attention is given to the overall cleanliness of the place, especially in the evening: food leftovers and old marks on the floors near the seating areas, abandoned empty bottles and cups, used napkins left on or below the seating. similar situation in the stinky toilets. You can just tell there no intensive cleaning program being run throughout the day. This is surprising for such a busy airport, and does not give a good impression of the place. I have stayed for 4 hours at the airport and haven’t crossed any cleaning team.

"do what I can to avoid it in the future"

(Sweden)

Not Verified | I got disrespectful treatment of the security personnel, dirty restrooms that was not cleaned in ages and the paper towels were all over the place. Expensive and nowhere to charge your phone. This is the third time I'm transferring in Oslo, and I'll do what I can to avoid it in the future.
