Oslo Airport

A modern efficient airport. A bit like Madrid it helps if you're keen on walking as UK - Norwegian domestics seem to inhabit different ends of a very long building. A bit tedious having to reclaim baggage to do customs clearance on arrival from UK prior to domestic transfer but that said it works reasonably well. Good range of shops - if that's what you want - but you can still see the outside world.

Oslo Gardermoen is a wonderful airport. It has been something of a home-away-from-home airport for me and I have always had good experiences there. The security lines are very predictable (usually only 5 minutes) and the airport has a convenient layout with excellent connections to buses and trains.

Well organised and friendly staff give a good impression of OSL Airport. The single terminal layout is convenient and all facilities are close by. Spotless clean restrooms and some restaurants and bars round up the positive picture. On the downside quite expensive duty free shops.

Elegant and efficient single-terminal layout; friendly and helpful staff they even provide those transparent plastic bags for carry-on liquids for free. Huge Duty-Free area (there's even one at arrival where you claim your baggage) plus cafés and snack shops; clean restrooms. Good traffic connections (Express train local trains several bus companies and taxis). It's all a bit expensive but that's what you have to expect in Norway. Unfortunately the air traffic seems to outgrow the building; they recently removed a very comfortable resting area to make room for new offices.

Efficient beautiful airport with high standards and easy to navigate. Only 20 minutes by train to Oslo and features a Radisson located right outside the main entrance. Really enjoyed the steel/glass/wood-designs very bright and airy. A bit pricey Duty Free but it's Norway; what did you expect. Amongst my favourite airports in Europe.

I agree with the positive comments below a modern spacious easy-to-use airport with good but expensive facilities. The famous Duty Free shop may be cheap to Norwegian travellers but not to anyone else. As stated elsewhere the rail connection to the city is excellent with the state railway being about half the price of the private one - but not as frequent and a little slower. The express (private) line keeps going until about 01.00 which is great if you arrive at midnight as I did.

The public transportation to and from the city centre is quite expensive just like everything else in Norway. The airport express train takes either 19 or 22 minutes (depending on if it goes directly to Oslo Central Station or if it stops in Lillestrøm) and costs 160 NOK one-way. That is about $32. The train travels at 210 km/h. What some travellers don't know is that the regional or local train line run by the partly state-run train company NSB costs exactly half of what the airport express train does. This train takes 26 or 37 minutes (depending on if it is the regional line or the local). Both the regional and local line costs the same. The airport express train generally departs every ten minutes while the NSB trains run every 20 - 30 minutes. Keep in mind if you are below the age of 21 the price is the same for both the airport express and the NSB trains and you'll be better of with the airport express. Another option is the SAS flybussen (the SAS airport bus). This bus costs about $25 but it takes 45 minutes to the city centre. The last resort is to take a cab which costs a fortune. To the centre of town the fixed rate is about $130. I will strongly recommend you use the NSB trains as this is the cheapest and next fastest option.

Another great european airport. Clean spacious efficient in every way fast moving and very user friendly.

What a cracking airport. Efficient friendly well laid out and simple to navigate. We transited this airport en-route to Tromso and I wish we had longer there to enjoy it.

Very passenger-friendly airport pristine clean and modern easily accessible from the Oslo Area. Everything is marked clearly. Layout is simple and functional - domestic flights on the left pier international on the right one arrivals on level 1 departures - level 2 with the main hall in the middle. Well-marked meeting points and check-in stalls. It's almost impossible to get lost. The staff is helpful. Shops in duty-free area are quite cheap. Just under the airport there is a railway station. The quickest journey to Oslo S takes about 20 min by Flytoget but costs 170 NOK. It's better to take a RegionTog train (from the same platform direction Oslo S/Skien arriving every-hour from Lillehammer) - journey is only 5 minutes longer and the price is 85 NOK to Oslo S and 166 NOK to Drammen.
