HFTGuide

Terminal navigation guide

Terminal-change and gate-area notes pulled from the markdown guide.

From Terminals & Navigation

Treat HFT as one compact terminal: landside check-in / arrivals, then a single security filter into the airside hold.
Walking distances are short; there is no airside train and no multi-terminal transfer. Still re-check screens when weather moves times.
Handling / cargo contact published on the contact page: Widerøe Ground Handling / Widerøe Cargo (+47 98 90 15 60).
Car hire desks listed on the car-rental page: Avis (78 40 78 28), Hertz (900 61 822), and Europcar (78 42 95 49).
Common mistakes: expecting a Priority Pass lounge, assuming a Narvesen/Point walk-up like larger Avinor regionals, or arriving outside Saturday’s published open window.

Ground transport guide

City-transfer, rideshare, train, and parking guidance from the markdown guide.

From Ground Transport & Parking

Town transfer — about 6–7 minutes by road into Hammerfest centre (Wikipedia / former Avinor to-from note). There is no rail station at the airport.
Snelandia local buses — Entur patterns from the airport area walk (~340 m) to REMA Fuglenes, then lines such as 30 (Prærien–Rypefjord) and 32 (Hammerfest–Forsøl) toward Rådhusplassen. Check live tables on snelandia.no / Entur before you exit — this is not currently mirrored on Avinor’s collective-transport page.
Hurtigruten / coastal express — Avinor’s collective page names the coastal steamer (twice daily northbound/southbound) with Finnmark county municipality route info. That product serves the harbour, not the airport curb; use it only if your itinerary already includes the ship.
Taxi — stand at the terminal for the short town hop. Avinor’s current English Hammerfest pages do not publish a dedicated taxi company phone — ask the fare before bags go in on longer Finnmark legs.
Parking — OnePark ANPR campus; pre-book or drive in; desk 64 81 19 80 / 24/7. Use the Avinor parking / P-areas pages for live products and rates.
Car hire — Avis, Hertz, and Europcar on the car-rental page; hours follow the flight programme.
