Reviews Oslo Gardermoen Airport
Sort by
Rating
Oslo airport is probably the most beautiful airport I have ever been to. It truly makes the airport experience relaxing and fun. The architecture is superb, dominated by dark glass and light wood. The transport to/from the airport could not be easier, with long-distance, local, and express trains and many bus options. Security was a breeze. Lots of food and drink options, but be advised that they are extremely expensive. Overall, very easy to navigate, very comfortable, and very attractive airport.

Like with Bergen airport the security check at Oslo can take a little while. there is nothing threatening or intermediating about this or the way they do the check, they are just very thorough when it comes to scanning backs, so if you for instance have a lot of loose cables best keep them in a small sack or bag in your bag so, if they are unhappy with the first scan they can scan it separately with ease.

Wir mussten uns trotz durchgechecktem Flug in Oslo das Gepack abholen... Neu einchecken und dann nocheinmal durch den Sicherheitscheck. Naturlich mussten wir unser Wasser, dass wir kurz nach dem aussteigen gekauft haben somit gleich wieder in den Mull werfen... Verschwendung aller hochsten Niveaus und absolut nicht okey vor allem weil der Weiterflug national war.

Dette var Transfer. Jeg hadde Lounge tilgang hos SAS og til en som har provd dette for andre gang i sitt liv var dette her mye bedre enn Loungen jeg hadde tilgang til i Bergen

Arrived from Greece at the terminal for passport control because the aircraft we were arriving with was going to London afterwards. That ment that the aircraft had to park at the passport area of the airport terminal. When we came inside the terminal, we had to stand in the passport control line just to be told that we actually didn't have to stand there. During our wating in line, a women from the police shouted Greece while she was walking towards the exit with the rest of the passangers arriving from Greece. If we had known that we wouldn't need to go through, it would had saved us a lot of time. What if we had a connecting flight. Worst case scenario, we wouldn't have catched that flight, all because of the airport not providing information to us or arranging for us to walk through without passport control.

Shopping facility on the domestic side is not very good. One small electronicstore, one small clothing store for ladies and one for the lads. Food options are ok, the SAS Domestic lounge is awesome.

Aircraft was parked at gate D9. For some reason the direct access from the gate was not used. Passengers were not led the correct way through the gateway resulting in chaos going first down steps and then back up and finally back down to the pavement and up stairs once again to the aircraft. Bad service at the gate, very bad. I have a bad knee and this surely did not do me any favours.

A good trip to Oslo this time, flew a domestic flight with SAS. We parked at the new pier, and it's absolutely gorgeous. Everything with this airport feels so big, and you get the impression that there isn't much people in the terminal, which is great for an airport of this size. Standard Avinor shops and WiFi. The only thing that I found negative is the 40 min wait for my baggage, that almost made me miss my train. Otherwise, good airport.

There was a security checkpoint for transferring passengers and they took my soda. They didn't let me drink it there and then they trash-talked me as I left.

At least they are finally helpful, but to have to purchase business class in order not to be treated like scum, is NOT ok.
Which they tend to do, every time I travel economy!?

What's not to love? The place is expensive, but getting there by Flytoget is super-convenient, the place is reasonably compact and even at evening peaks, security doesn't take longer than a few minutes. Lovely.

No moving walkways from the gate to the baggage claim, this was a minus since the aircraft parked at the furthest stand from baggage claim.

I am used to the very poor facilities available on arrival at Paris CDG, when you have to wait for a train: when you exit security, there is nearly nothing. As a comparison, OSL is probably one of the most pleasant experiences upon arrival, when you have to wait for a connecting train. Restaurants, shops, comfortable environment, etc. etc. In addition to this being a very nice airport from the architecture and the equipment overall...

Get a priority pass lounge. OSL is the only major airport in Europe without one, this is a major drawback for passengers, especially transit passengers.

Getting to the airport is super easy, bus or train. The terminal is new, and newly expanded with lots of growth. Plenty of destinations. Lots of new food and retail as well. Only down side has been that the lounges available have been over crowded and not updated.

The baggage claim was a big mess. The airline needed to check my bag at the gate even though it was supposed to be a carry-on sized bag. (Which was my error, I guess? Although, I didn't have that problem with any of my other flights on the way to or coming back from Oslo.) They didn't have a place to take it or put it, so it was left sitting unattended next to the door to the airplane. When I reached Oslo from Zurich, my bag was nowhere to be found. I stood there for about 20 minutes while a worker near the plane made calls and walked around the area asking people what to do. None of them knew. I was told to look for my suitcase in the baggage claim area, but they had one area for my flight's pre-checked baggage, and another for oversized baggage. I wasn't sure where mine would end up, so after waiting and worrying I'd miss my train, I asked a woman at the counter. She was very kind and helped locate my bag in the system, then directed me to where I needed to wait for my bag. Luckily, my bag came just in time, way after everyone else's. Two more minutes and I could've been stranded for hours and down 40 bucks so I could get a new train ticket.
Overall, the airport was fine, but baggage was a huge mess. People were kind and tried to help me, which made everything much better, but the confusion in the first place made it all really stressful.

Getting worse after rebuild. More food services, but still at premium prices, maybe the highest prices among all airports Worldwide.
Security check mostly unfriendly in my opinion. Today the even opened the sealed bag purchased at the tax free shop one floor below. Ridiculous.

My 4 star rating mostly comes from the very pleasant atmosphere in the refurbished areas, which is not yet finished (as of mid-March 2017), although it should be said gate F27 is not the nicest area to wait for a flight!

This is my home airport and I like it the way it is. I've been to more 'fancyer' airports worldwide, but this is a relatively small airport with very good and efficant services.

Getting to and from the airport is way to expensive unless you own your own car and travel with others. Train services by NSB is overpriced and trains don't run towards Vestfold during night.

To be noted that this was the old airport at Gardermoen, long before it became the main international airport in Oslo.

Unfortunayely the transfer process is not on the worldwide standard, since you have to collect your own checked bag and check it in again.
Please make sure to have at least 90 minutes transfer time in order to be able to catch your transfer flight in the busy hours. Security was not very fast.

Security is usually pretty efficient. Easy to navigate since the airport is not too big. Foodservice is not top notch, too little to choose between and very expensive (and I speak as a Norwegian). Easy to get to and from the airport with trains and buses. Beware if you are coming from an international flight and going on a domestic you need to do the whole tour with checking in again, IF you have checked luggage. Hand-luggage only and you can go through an own security check, and go straight to gate. That passage can actually be a bit hard to spot sometimes, if there's no one around.

Great airport with amazing queue management at security control. Recently they opened a connecting flights shortcut for those coming from an international flight and connecting to a national one: as long as you only have cabin luggage, you can proceed to the national section of the airport through a special customs gate without the need to go through security again. That saves 20 min. Remember that if you have checked-in luggage you still have to go through the usual drill: you still have to pick it up at the luggage belts, take it through customs, check it in once again and go through the security control.
One more thing: this airport can suffer from delays due to snow and bad weather during winter time

A nice airport, but a bit boring. A nice spot to relax on domestic flights is all the time at down to gate 11. Little used part with good seats.

Great airport, with trains running every 10 minutes plus busses which head north and south ( towards the city ) all the time. Wifi is free and fast! The new terminal will make the airport even better, and already in its state shows a cool symbol of design!

Very nice airport, but to few and small toilets after check in :-(
Tips: don?t take the airport express train (Flytoget). Take the regular train. It takes a bit longer but it?s so much cheaper.

A terrible airport if you are an international transit passenger. Yesterday I was delayed from Amsterdam and had only 15 min to next departure. Despite this we where forced to go out in the arrival hall and pass the securit control go get to the gate. Due to this the deparure was delayed for almost 30 minutes.

Efficient airport, but quite dull and very expensive restaurants (even for a Norwegian!). Some lines in security on busy days, but never more than 20 or 30 minutes. If connecting from an international to an internal flight, all luggage must be taken through customs and then checked in again.

quite crowded terminal - could be better indication of coming to the platforms of the train departing to the city center - horribly expensive ticket (like everything in Norway), surprisingly fast access.
too few vending machines, cafes and currency exchange offices in the arrivals area

L'aeroporto di Oslo e davvero molto accogliente. In fase di atterraggio ci sono degli ottimi paesaggi, mentre la struttura dei terminal e in legno e percio e molto originale e moderna. I servizi sono ottimi anche se peccano i metodi elettronici dei check-in online.

Love this airport. it's got all the amenities and services you could ask for, and then some. Only downside is there's no private lounge covered by the Priority Pass card, but the rest of the airport is so comfortable, it hardly matters.
There's a coffee shop right after security where you get free refills on your coffee. Pick out one of the egg-shaped seats and charge your phone while you wait for your flight -- it's a rather dignified way of passing the time.
When you need to leave, there are plenty of ways to get to the city centre. The fastest and most comfortable way is the Airport Express, which is a 20-minute train ride to Oslo S with free wifi and plenty of outlets.
