Compact terminal; weather and a single runway are the delay mode — pad OSL (and SVG/BGO) connections.

HAU is a one-terminal field, so walking times are short — the schedule risk is west-Norwegian weather on a lone 13/31 runway plus bunched SAS / Norwegian / leisure banks. Same-day connections via Oslo (or a road/air pivot via Stavanger/Bergen) need a real buffer even when the landside hall looks empty. The building opens only about 1.5 hours before the first departure and tracks the flight programme, so ultra-early show-ups and planned overnights inside the terminal are not options.

Single terminal; split domestic/international after security; meeting rooms are not a lounge.

Check-in and bag drop sit landside in the single terminal. After security, follow domestic vs international signage before you settle into Food Bar or Point. Nordea ATMs are published at the main entrance / check-in area, at security, and at international departures. Bookable meeting rooms (**Eirik Blodøks** 7 people; **Harald Hårfagre** 15 people) are conference hire with Wi-Fi, whiteboard, and ClickShare projector — not a flyer lounge substitute. Re-check screens for gate calls; the campus is short but times still move in weather.

Food Bar and Point airside; Duty Free on international; hours follow flights, not a 24/7 mall.

Official on-the-airport directory: **Food Bar** (baguettes, pastries, drinks; +47 94 01 14 63) and **Point** (kiosk goods, travel-size hygiene, simple meal solutions), with Duty Free on international itineraries. Both dining outlets are stated to open for all departures — still expect a thinner offer on sparse winter banks than on summer leisure peaks. Haugesund harbour food still wins if your timetable allows.

Zero lounges; taxi ~15–20 min is the default; Flybuss discontinued Oct 2024.

There is no Priority Pass / LoungeKey / walk-up passenger lounge on current flyhau.no pages — only rentable meeting rooms. For town, plan on taxi from the rank during opening hours (~15–20 min; airport guide ~NOK 450–500 daytime / 550–600 evening / 600–650 night & weekend) via Haugaland Taxi 08181, Haugesund Taxi 52 80 80 80, or Karmøy Taxi 52 85 80 80. Kolumbus stops at the airport junction / Park Inn — not at the curb — so budget a short taxi for the last about 3 km. Do not wait for a branded Flybuss; that product’s last departure was 6 Oct 2024 at 21:30.
