    If you wanna get to Oslo, the best option is to buy ticket to the NSB train by application Ruter or NSB. In this case you spend almost twice less than by Flytoget and get free ticket in Oslo for 2,5h.

    One of the best airport, very modern, calm and easy to reach from Oslo within 25min. We had to stand up for security check before departure making the situation a bit less pleasant.

    No need to go for express train, since the city centre is just 2 stops (~25 min) from the airport with regular line and half price of the express.

    Check the bottoms of seats for plugs (some have them), also found by wall at Gate 39 by the Yo Sushi

    The local NSB-train is less expencive than "Flytoget" and taxi, and it often gets you to the center Oslo about as fast as the "Flytog".

    Nice place to do some work with laptop - near gate D2b, there is small row of seats with power sockets behind them, and it is usually quiet there.

    Tap water is just as good as bottled. Bring an empty bottle and go to the water stations at gates A10, B2, C4, D4, E12 or F17/F19.

    Top tip for budget/water: bring an empty bottle through security (allowed) and fill it with water in the restrooms. The first taps u get to have ajustable water temperature :)

    Use the NSB train to get to city centre in only 25 minutes. It is cheaper than Flytoget and runs with a good frequency.

    This airport is far (really far!) from Oslo. Fortunately there's a fast train (6x per hour) to the city center, which takes only half an hour. Also connections to Lillehammer and Trondheim.

    Not a bad airport. There are two lounges after security, and the gates are organised. Getting there is definitely made easy by the airport express train, which takes only 20 minutes from the city.

    Other than the fact that this airport is not travel-cheap friendly, the airport is quite nice and clean, lots of good restaurants and places to hang out. Get the shuttle train to the city, worth it.

    Operates even when the weather is really rough. Take the train to Oslo Center. Way cheaper than taxi, and much faster.

    If you want to ride on an airplane, try one of the gates. A very effective way of boarding and quite terrific.

    Sushi at the Yo! conveyer-belt sushi restaurant in the international departure hall (close to gates 38-39) was very, very good. And expensive, but so is everything in Norway.

    Easy to get around, not too large Airport with clear signs anywhere you need to go. Expensive food & drink. Free WiFi via Avinor for 4 hrs. Use the Vy app for easy train ticket control, has english.

    A well organised airport. If you are a smoker - bad news, only outside. Best way to get to and from town is Flytog. Taxi is expensive. Flytog stops also at Lilleström. Convenient for expo visitors.

    When arriving from an intercontinental flight connecting to some other Schengen country (EU/CH) and you have carry on only, short cut through "domestic connections".

    The normal public transport train to Oslo is as fast as Flytoget but cheaper. Two water fountains after one of the security check points to refill your water bottle.

    Nice and clean, Nordic style. Easy to get around. Shops, bars and diners both domestic and international terminal, but Norwegian prices. Get a cheap haircut in the domestic terminal.

    Bring an empty water bottle through security and you can fill it with water from the water fountain before going through customs. Tap water ftw!

    Don't waste money on the Airport express train - regional trains depart towards the city center frequently, are just as fast and cost almost half the price. Staff at the NSB counter is happy to help.

    Efficient, orderly, modern and relatively relaxed atmosphere. One of the better airports, however when it comes to airports the smaller the better.

    If you are a student of an institution that uses an eduroam hotspot, you may be able to get some signal here. That way you don't need to log-on to other hotspots.

    Passanger friendly, spacious, peaceful. Fairly small airport, but good enough. Officers at security and passport control are very kind and friendly. Food options are limited, but fine.

    Open and spacious terminal makes flying a pleasant experience. This starts when you enter the terminal and follows you all the way to the plane. Unless you're at a bus-gate, that is.

    No playground in the EU zone! As we arrived after a 10 hours flight from the States it would be a must to have some fun and relax on the playground for the kids...

    ISIC cards are acknowledged on the Flytoget express train. With the student's discount price you can get to the centre of Oslo in <20 minutes for 85 NOK. Plugs are available on board of the train. Read more

    Hide from all the noise and stress by grabbing a bite at Sinnataggen. Great food! Also, if you don't want to stand in line for using the restrooms, Sinnataggen is the place to go.

    When arriving at the top of the stairs at the departure Hall, do a sharp left turn. The check-in machines there have way shorter queues than the others which you would see straight ahead.

    Once you go from the domestic to the international gates, there is no more decent food - unless you want greaseballs from Pizza Hut. So when hungry hang around in the domestic area for a bit.

    The shrimp sandwich may look tempting, but I think generally a good life rule is to not eat airport shrimp. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Lovely modern airport... if going to Oslo take the train into city! Much faster & cheaper. Cab Fare is extremely expensive. You will pay 200 usd vs 25 usd.

    The Global Blue counter (tax refund) is BEFORE the security check. But if you missed it and are now past security, go to the bookstore near gate E2. Someone can process it there too.

    Efficiënt and clean. Best way to get to the city centre is taking the regular train. (The express train is much more expensive and doesn't save you that much time)

    You can take the Flybussekspressen (Express Bus) instead of train. Stops in many bus stations in Oslo. Cheaper if you buy a ticket online. Free wifi. Ask at the info office or visit nor-way.no

    For a city like Oslo, Flytoget (airport express train) isn't priced too badly. It's cheaper than Stockholm's Arlanda Express at only NOK340 (£38) vs SEK500 (£50) return. Half-price for students.

    Waiting for a domestic flight you'll find power outlets under the high bench along the wall at Monolitten and along the bottom by the windows at the bar on the left halfway down.
