Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Timing

Vy trains are back; security is still quick

Vy says the train-drivers' strike ended 17 Oct 2026 and trains run again. Flytoget is the fast option; a Vy train is the cheaper one. Check the operator before you leave.

Vy says the train-drivers' strike ended 17 Oct 2026. Security still usually clears in under 15 minutes; use Avinor's live wait, not a padded clock.

Terminal

Read the gate letter before you shop

A–C are domestic, D–E Schengen international, F is non-Schengen after passport control. Sitting near A with an F boarding pass is the classic miss.

Avinor's transfer map still uses A–C / D–F. A 2026 airside sign also shows G — do not plan on a G pier until Avinor publishes it. Far F plus passport control eats soft connections.

Food

Eat at BIT Union or Trattoria Tavolare — skip lounge soup

Fiskeriet is gone from Avinor's shopping list. BIT Union (domestic A8 plus international) and Trattoria Tavolare (domestic A2 plus between D1–E2) are the honest sit-down plan.

OSL Lounge International is NOK 445 for a light meal, not a buffet. Refill water for free; Narvesen bottles are a last resort (typically ~NOK 35–50 at the till — not an official tariff).

Status

Priority Pass has no lounge here

PP's only OSL product is a NOK 240 restaurant credit at Trattoria Tavolare (D1–E2). Lounge access is SAS/SkyTeam, DragonPass, selected LoungeKey, Nordic Amex, or cash.

Amex Centurion/Platinum works on OSL Lounges only when issued in Norway, Sweden, or Finland. SAS day access is NOK 399 online until 3h / NOK 449 later or at the door, and you still need a same-day SAS or SkyTeam boarding pass.

Best for

Watch out for

No Priority Pass lounge — only a NOK 240 restaurant credit
Vy trains were cancelled during the Oct 2026 drivers' strike; Vy says it ended 17 Oct, so check the Vy app
F-gate plus passport control on soft connections
Paying NOK 276 for Flytoget when a running Vy train is NOK 134

Guide quick facts

From the editorial guide for OSL.

Updated Oct 18, 2026

One continuous terminal: A–C domestic, D–E Schengen, F non-Schengen after passport control (Avinor transfer map; a 2026 airside sign also shows G — unconfirmed as a published pier)
27,069,000 passengers in 2025 (Avinor Q4 2025, +2.4% vs 26,436,000); hub for SAS (SkyTeam), Norwegian, and Widerøe domestic
Trains sit under the terminal — Flytoget ~19 min to Oslo S (adult NOK 276); Vy ~23 min on a Ruter 4-zone ticket (adult NOK 134 / child-senior NOK 64). Vy says the Oct 2026 train-drivers' strike ended 17 Oct and trains run again
No Priority Pass lounge — only a Trattoria Tavolare EAT credit (NOK 240) between D1 and E2. Independent OSL Lounges take DragonPass, selected LoungeKey, Nordic Amex, or a day pass
Security is usually under 15 minutes; Fast Track is left of the Point kiosk (Mon–Fri 05:00–20:00, Sat–Sun 06:00–20:00)
Signed free water refill stations airside — bring an empty bottle; Avinor still applies 100 ml / 1 L bag rules
