Connecting international-to-domestic at Oslo (OSL)

wrote: 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.. It is short time, but manageble as long your first flight is not delayed... You have to pick you luggae at Gardemoen and bring it through customs, then there is a transfer-desk you can deliver your luggage again. If you experiense that the luggage takes time to arrive on the belt, you may just run throug the custom and on to the next flight, and let SAS send the luggage after you (Remember to register lost luggage then). I know several that have choosen that alternative, better to arrive on time without luggage, that to be stuck at some airport. Since you have SAS on both fligths, I guess you have a transfer-ticked. Then SAS are obligated to get you on a new flight if you miss the 2nd because of delays on the first. |

There used to be one, but the last time I checked it, it was closed and I had to go to the checkin in the departure hall and since then I haven't even seen a transfer-desk. -- Marianne http://www.chios-info.com |
