Connecting international-to-domestic at Oslo (OSL)
"Traveller" writes:
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.. Experience shows that this scedule is too tight. You have to clear customs at Gardermoen, bring your luggage one floor up, stand in line to drop off your bags and finally line up for security check. If and only if the first plane is on time, your bags are first out of the plane and there are no queues in front of baggage drop or security, will you be sure to catch you connecting flight. You can of course choose to not to wait for you baggage and go straight to security, but then you will be without baggage until the next day... -- Ingeborg Østrem Hellemo -- (Univ. of Tromsø, Norway) |
