The fare is not fixed: it moves with the date, from about NOK 225 bought online the day before to NOK 310 buying on the day or on board.

Buying the day before in the app or online is the only way to reach the lower price; the same-day and on-board prices are identical.

Up to four children ride free alongside one full-fare adult.

It waits for the last scheduled flight, so it is the last thing leaving the airport on most nights, well after the train and bus 70 stop.
