In reply to Edina. The airport train (flytoget) and the regular Vy train both go from the airport to Skøyen. The regular train is cheaper, but both trains are substantially cheaper than a taxi.

Dear David,

Hi! I’m flying from London Gatwick to Oslo which transfers better if you have big luggage to get the Express train ( I heard about not really safe for tourist) or a taxi? People say about too expensive to use a taxi. The address is where I’m going close to Skoyen Station.

Hi! I’m flying from Orlando to Oslo on one ticket and then Oslo to London on a separate ticket. I’m not checking any luggage. Do I need to go through passport control? I land at 9 am in Oslo, so I’m trying to figure out if I could make it to a 10:30 am flight. Any help would be much appreciated!

In reply to Madelyn Garner. 50 minutes is a very short connection to/from a long haul flight. It is doable, but I would not have booked anything below 90 minutes myself. If you have booked this on a through ticket, then the connection is "legal" and the airline will make sure you get to your destination if you are misconnected, but I would absolutely take an earlier flight from Bergen to reduce the risk of having to go through that hassle. Since you are flying domestic -> international, you do not have to collect your bags provided they are checked through, they will be transfered for you. Passport control is of course done in Oslo, as that is where you will be leaving Norway and the Schengen area. The waiting time at passport control can be anywhere between 0 and 20 minutes. With most long haul flights closing the gate 20 minutes prior to departure, and you having to get from your domestic flight, through passport control, to your departure gate, you can see that 50 minutes is cutting it thin for you, not to mention your baggage. Also, you're flying in January, and who knows what the winter weather will do to the punctuality of your flights. You could certainly make your connection, and probably will if you are efficient, but I'd get an earlier flight from Bergen if I could.

In reply to Madelyn Garner. It is short but as long as you are flying with the same airline on both flights (SAS-SAS or Norwegian-Norwegian) you use the "domestic transfer" process, which transfers your luggage automatically, and you walk straight through to domestic departures.

We have booked travel from Bergen to Oslo to US. Flight from Bergen arrives in Oslo at 10:10 and flies out of Oslo at 11:00. Is that sufficient time? Do we have to collect our bags? Or will they be checked through? Do we have to go through passport control, or is that done in Bergen?
Am assuming airlines that book these times know what they are doing, but that seems a short span of time to depart Oslo after arriving. Travel in in January 2020
