An ordinary Ruter four-zone single, with no airport supplement. Valid for 150 minutes with transfers onto the metro, trams and buses, so it covers the rest of the journey too. Children are NOK 52 on weekdays; at weekends Ruter carries four under-18s free with an adult.

Luggage. A regional train, with racks at the carriage ends.

Hours. Weekdays the first is 05:13 and the last 23:43, three an hour. On Saturdays the first is 06:13 — three quarters of an hour after Flytoget's, which matters because that is the hour cheap flights land.

Luggage. Racks throughout; it is built as an airport train.

Hours. First 05:30 and last 00:50, six an hour. The 00:50 takes thirty minutes rather than nineteen and reaches Oslo S at 01:20, so the last train of the night is the slowest as well as the dearest.

On arrival at Oslo Gardermoen Airport

From the arrivals hall to each way in
Finding the station

The station is one level below arrivals, linked by stairs or lift. Flytoget and the ordinary Vy trains share the same platforms beneath the terminal.

Tickets

Tap or scan your Flytoget ticket at the barriers by the platform before boarding. Tap out at Oslo without having tapped in first and you're charged for the train's full length.

The taxi rank

The taxi stand is right outside the international arrivals hall. Avinor warns against getting into a taxi without a prior booking, or agreeing a fare directly with a driver in or around the terminal.

Uber and Bolt

Uber and Bolt both operate at Oslo airport. Neither names a fixed pickup spot — open the app after you land and follow it to the meeting point.

It is half the price of Flytoget and one minute slower. The real difference is that there are three an hour rather than six, and it stops at 23:43.

On Saturday mornings it does not start until 06:13, an hour later than on a weekday and 43 minutes after Flytoget.

The ticket keeps working for 150 minutes after you board, including transfers, which the Flytoget ticket does not.

Weekdays the first is 05:13 and the last 23:43, three an hour. On Saturdays the first is 06:13 — three quarters of an hour after Flytoget's, which matters because that is the hour cheap flights land.

Exactly double the ordinary train, to the krone. Under-16s travel free with any adult, with no stated limit — the one case where this ticket is cheaper. It covers the train only: "ikke gyldig for overgang", nothing onward included.

Twice the price of the ordinary train for one minute on its slow service, and nineteen against twenty-three on its fast one. You are buying frequency and an extra hour at night, not speed.

Take it if you have children: under-16s travel free with an adult, so one adult with three children pays NOK 268 here against NOK 290 on the ordinary train.

The ticket does not cover any onward journey. If you are not stopping at Oslo S, add a Ruter fare on top.

Tapping out at the airport without having tapped in is charged at the longest distance the train runs.

First 05:30 and last 00:50, six an hour. The 00:50 takes thirty minutes rather than nineteen and reaches Oslo S at 01:20, so the last train of the night is the slowest as well as the dearest.

Eleven kroner more than the express train, for a journey more than three times as long. It earns its place only where it stops closer to your destination than Oslo S.

It costs more than the express train and takes 64 minutes against 19. Nothing about the price justifies it unless its route suits you better than the station does.

It is the only thing still running between 00:50 and 02:15, which is its real argument.

Between 02:15 and 04:45 there is nothing at this airport at any price.

52 km to Oslo S, by rail. The fastest way in takes 19–30 min; the cheapest, the Vy local train, 23 min.

Where is the train station at Oslo Gardermoen airport?

The station is one level below arrivals, linked by stairs or lift. Flytoget and the ordinary Vy trains share the same platforms beneath the terminal.

Is there Uber or Bolt at Oslo Gardermoen airport?

Uber and Bolt both operate at Oslo airport. Neither names a fixed pickup spot — open the app after you land and follow it to the meeting point.

Where do I catch the Vy local train at Oslo Gardermoen airport?

Oslo lufthavn station, beneath the terminal. Follow the signs from arrivals. It leaves you at Oslo S, and onward across the network on the same ticket.

The Vy local train runs 05:13–23:43. The Flytoget runs 05:30–00:50. The Flybussen coach runs 04:45–02:15.

On Saturdays the first is 06:13 — three quarters of an hour after Flytoget's, which matters because that is the hour cheap flights land.

Does the Private transfer to Torp Airport from Gardermoen go to Oslo S, the central station?

The other airport, not the city: for a connecting flight.

Worth knowing

Flytoget costs NOK 268, exactly double the Vy train's NOK 134, for a journey only a minute quicker: 22 minutes against 23. The extra buys frequency — six trains an hour against three — and a last departure at 00:50 instead of 23:43.

The ordinary train has no airport surcharge — Ruter tickets work normally here. A government report tested adding a 45-kroner surcharge, but none exists yet.

A Flytoget ticket is "ikke gyldig for overgang" — no onward transfer. The NOK 134 Ruter ticket is valid for 150 minutes with transfers across the whole Oslo network, so beyond Oslo S the price gap is wider than double.

Flybussen costs more than the express train: NOK 279 against NOK 268, for 64 minutes against 19. It is worth taking only if it stops nearer your door than Oslo S does.

Flytoget carries under-16s free with any adult; Ruter charges NOK 52 per child on weekdays. One adult with three children pays NOK 268 on Flytoget against NOK 290 on the ordinary train, making Flytoget cheaper. At weekends Ruter carries four under-18s free, so the crossover needs seven children instead.

No taxi fare can be stated: this journey falls outside Norway's maximum-price rules, and airport-specific tariffs are separately forbidden. The driver must quote you a total price before you board.
