Norwegian Air Shuttle's airport & 737s

Norwegian Air Shuttle runs flights between Oslo and a few cities in
Norway. I assume they run from a different airport than SAS uses.
How easy is to travel to NAS's airport? Does an airport train exist?
According to their website, NAS runs a fleet of 737s. How is the
legroom (what is the seat pitch)? From playing with Opodo, it seems
that fares do not have a Saturday night restriction; true? Feel free to
comment on NAS.

In Oslo they use Oslo Gardermoen as SAS does.
For airport information see: http://www.osl.no

Gardermoen is Norway's major airport some 50 km out of Oslo city.
The old city airport in Oslo (Fornebue) is no longer used since the
opening of Gardermoen in the 1990s.
There are frequent Train and Bus services from Gardermoen airport
to Oslo city and other parts of southern Norway, for the
airport express trains (flytoget) see: http://www.flytoget.no/
For more information on NAS see: http://www.norwegian.no/

Why do you assume that ???????????? AFAIK the airline uses the
"regular" airports. Also, their name now is norwegian.no

Quite good from what I've heard

As most of "modern" carriers do, the sunday rule has been withdrawn.

Because other discount carriers use different airports. My assumption
is quite understandable.

Also, their name now is norwegian.no

On their website, Norwegian, NAS, and norwegian.no are used
interchangeably for the name. Norwegian is the most commonly used
reference. Opodo still refers to them as NAS.

The market is still dominated by large, full-service airlines, and very
few of them have eliminated the Saturday night requirement. Discount
carriers are generally the only airlines to have eliminated the requirement.

Ryanair uses Sandefjord Airport Torp, located about 110 km from the city
center. They call it Oslo Torp, but haven't seen anyone else refer to it as
that. It doesn't have an airport express train and is considerably smaller.

Yes, that is the airport I feared that NAS would use. Torp is not as
convenient as the regular Oslo airport.

And think about moving to another one.

Ryanair uses Torp *not* Norwegian.no. As stated on their website they use
Oslo Airport - Gardermoen.
