Inside each terminal

Check-in, security, the station link and how to change terminals — verified against the airport's own pages.

Oslo Airport

Gardermoen runs a single terminal building — Avinor’s own map page calls it “the terminal”, not “terminals”. The 2017 expansion (NOK 14 billion, construction from 2011) “almost doubled” its size and pushed capacity to 32 million passengers a year, after the airport had already passed 25 million in 2016.

Check-in

Self-service bag drop takes checked bags up to 20 kg; anything heavier goes to a staffed counter. Kiosks near check-in print boarding passes and bag tags.

Security

The security checkpoint (and bag drop) closes after the last evening departure and reopens around 04:00.

Changing terminals

Domestic transfer — arriving from abroad and continuing within Norway without collecting luggage — runs 07:00–23:00 daily through a dedicated yellow area next to gate D2, and only for through-ticketed passengers on Air Baltic, Air France, Atlantic Airways, Emirates, LOT, Norwegian, SAS, TAP, KLM or Widerøe.

Accessibility

Book assistance at least 48 hours ahead. Without a pre-booking you may wait up to 30 minutes for help; with reduced-mobility needs, arrive 2 hours before a domestic/Schengen flight or 2.5 hours before one outside Schengen.

Oslo Airport

International departures use gates D, E and F. A separate VIP Terminal — its own smaller building, next to the main terminal and inside the security perimeter — handles line-free VIP departures, arrivals and transit for those who book it.

Check-in

Airlines granting access to OSL Lounge International (Air Baltic, Air France, British Airways, Emirates, Finnair, Icelandair, KLM, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines and others) require a valid boarding pass for an international flight the same day.

Changing terminals

Every summer, eight of the domestic gates are relabelled G1–G8 to absorb peak-morning Schengen traffic; a shuttle bus to the G-gate area starts running two hours before the first flight from there and departs every three minutes.

Accessibility

Same 48-hour advance-notice rule and airport-wide assistance service as the domestic side; the quiet room at gate A10 is open to all faiths and is also used for weddings.
