"cramped airport with limited seating"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Small, cramped airport with limited seating facilities, one shop in arrivals terminal. Wi fi is pretty decent but this airport doesn't seem to be big enough for the numbers of people departing and arriving. Toilets not the best I've ever seen, can't recommend Torp at all.

"Parking is extremely expensive"

(Norway)

Trip Verified | Parking is extremely expensive at Torp Sandefjord Airport, 125 NOK (Approx 12,5€ an hour) better to go to OSL. No customs staff available for customs refund of VAT.

"everything is within easy reach"

(United Kingdom)

A very small airport but well run. It has 5 stands which are all a few steps from the terminal building. It is no where near Oslo (68 miles south - approx. 1.5 hours away). The terminal building is a single storey with Check-in Desks on one side, arrivals in the middle with 1 belt and Security Scanning on the other side. On the Land Side there is a café/shop supplying hot and cold snacks and other things and a seating area. It is very small so everything is within easy reach but if more than 1 plane is in at a time it could get busy. Outside there is lots of car parking and car rental options along with transport to the local railway station for trains to various points including Oslo. If you are visiting Oslo City Centre think carefully before using this airport - if you want to access the locality it is a small friendly place.

Torp Airport customer review

The little airport is getting a lot more traffic and starting to burst at the seams. Even though the rail connection is a good piece of news the amount of people in the transit area isn`t. But still it beats Stansted queuing and even Ryanair check-in is fairly straight forward.

Torp Airport customer review

Nice design but that's it. Long lines for security poor shopping poor eating and a smell of sausage from every hotdog stand cafe and 7-eleven. Distance to city is a problem and there is nowhere to get to downtown Oslo fast and cheap. I paid more for the train than for my flight.

Torp Airport customer review

A small but efficient airport with a good tax free selection. As mentioned before the transfer time to Oslo is long - about 1½ hours more to downtown Oslo compared to Oslo's main airport Gardermoen - as this is not really an airport meant to serve Oslo. However it costs about the same to get to Torp as it does to get to Gardermoen due to the outrageously expensive (but very efficient) Airport Express Train going to the latter airport. When choosing between coach and train to Torp note that the train takes slightly longer and is about 60 NOK more expensive - but more comfy and a beautiful journey at times.

Torp Airport customer review

Arrival was very easy other than Norwegian Immigration officials who seemed to think that one could understand Norwegian if they shouted very loudly. Bags arrived very quickly cash machines are hidden away (there is one near the duty free which your can visit when arriving before baggage and one behind screens in the middle of the arrivals area). Departure was a surprise in that they have fast check-in for Ryan Air even if you have not paid for it - you go to the usual type of check-in machine do the business and then drop your bag off at a fast baggage drop. From then on it went smoothly other than five different queues to actually get on the plane. On the downside water is very expensive 22NKr for a small bottle and we could not find any drinking fountains on the upside there are a number of free internet terminals landside and airside.

Torp Airport customer review

Before flying in or out of this airport make sure you do your research online and get the current Torpexpress bus timetable; the service is not frequent though is generally designed to suit landing and arriving planes. The Torpexpress bus costs NOK140 per person. There is an hourly train service from Lillehammer via Gardemoen and Oslo Central to Skien which serves the station at Sandefjord. A taxi from Sandefjord station to Torp recently brought up NOK160 on the metre. So if you're going to be in the Lillehammer or Hamar area and there's a group of you going to Torp Airport this might be a worthwhile option. The airport itself is small and quite compact; there is a restaurant past the security gates though the selection isn't huge. But the duty-free shop I felt is poor; plenty of alcohol and tobacco; but very little else. I was looking for souvenirs and gifts from Norway but this shop has little or nothing from Norway. Plenty of Belgian and Swiss chocolate but how can you go home to family and workmates and say: "I've been on holidays to Norway. I brought you all back a box of Swiss chocolate." Doesn't work. I managed to get a small box of orange-flavoured chocolates actually produced locally at Sandefjord and they are very nice. But no souvenirs gifts items of clothing jumpers hats etc. In other words apart from those chocolates nothing Norwegian. If you want real Norwegian souvenirs to bring home buy them before you get to Torp Airport.

Torp Airport customer review

Agree with Paul Groves fine little airport. A word of warning if you're trying to tie in returning to the airport for a Ryanair flight give yourself plenty of time. We had a number of passengers on our bus who had left it rather late to get back to the airport having had their flights rearranged and had opted for a few more hours in Oslo rather than being stuck at the airport. - big mistake!
