 |
|
Hello. I have a trip coming up where I'm arriving at Oslo (Gardemoen) from
the UK and connecting just 45 minutes later on a domestic flight to the
frozen north.
This has all been booked through the airline and the arrival/departure
airlines are both SAS (SK). The SAS website (and other flight search
engines) show it as a permitted connection (that is, when I put in origin
and destination, this flight pairing comes up without any prompting):
SK802 07:20 10:25 London (LHR) Oslo (OSL)
SK4084 11:10 12:50 Oslo (OSL) Harstad-Narvik (EVE)
I'm not familiar with the new airport at Oslo, and understand it's a
single-terminal design, but this does seem rather tight. Has anyone made
this type of connection through Oslo recently? I know I'll have to clear
immigration at Oslo - what about baggage, will it route through to the final
destination airport so I can clear customs there? All experiences - rather
than speculation - gladly received. I have also put the question to Oslo
airport - but they will doubtless give me the official answer..

Yes I've done such connections but with more time.
Seem to be a very short connection. No doubt the Gardermoen airport is very
efficient, usually short or no lines for security e.t.c . Probably you
can do it best with carry-on luggage only. There's one very long
terminal organized in one section for outside Schengen, one for Schengen and
one for domestic. On arrival you've to go through immigration, then
claim your luggage and go through custom (Norway is outside EU) then
check-in luggage again (there're separate counters for that inside the
terminal) and finally go through security (being compulsory also if in
transit )
But now as SAS have accepted your booking as a permitted connection they're
responsible for it and the worse scenario is that you ore your luggage will
be on a later flight. |
