Flying from London Gatwick
Gatwick is London's leisure-leaning airport — the home of British Airways' short-haul leisure operation, easyJet's largest UK base and a long lineup of TUI and Norwegian holiday flights. South and central London passengers reach it via the Gatwick Express or Thameslink. The mix is broader than Heathrow on European leisure routes, often cheaper, and you'll see the same destination served three or four times a day across competing airlines — useful when one carrier delays.
Arriving in Oslo
Oslo Gardermoen sits 47 km north of the city, with the Airport Express Train (Flytoget) running every 10 minutes to Oslo S in 22 minutes for 230 NOK. SAS and Norwegian dominate; Ryanair adds Torp service (a separate airport). Oslo fares spike around the Nobel Prize ceremony (early December) and around Russ celebrations (late May); January–February is the cheapest window.
