For all our holidays and courses we recommend that clients fly direct to Oslo International. SAS and BA are the only two carriers that fly direct to Oslo (Gardermoen) from London Heathrow or Manchester. Internal connecting flights to London and Manchester are available from many of UK's provincial airports.
norwegian.no (low cost Norwegian airline) fly direct to Oslo International from Stansted every day. Flight costs are very competitive and there are three flights each way on Sundays. There are also flights every Sunday, both ways, between Edinburgh and Oslo International (Gardermoen).
Clients can also book KLM flights to Oslo from Edinburgh, Manchester, Newcastle, Liverpool and Leeds/Bradford airports. These flights involve a change at Amsterdam.
Transfer coaches to the hotels are available only from Oslo (Gardermoen).
Holiday clients need to arrive at Oslo no later than 14:30 on the Sunday at the beginning of their holiday. Coaches for transfer to the hotels depart from the airport at 15:00.
On the return journey, coaches will usually leave the hotel at around 07:00 to meet the Sunday midday/early afternoon flights to London and Manchester. Therefore clients should plan on booking midday/early afternoon return flights.
For clients who wish to catch early Sunday morning return flights, we can make alternative transfer arrangements (taxis, trains etc), however any additional costs incurred will be met by clients.
Flights can be booked on line as follows:
The Nordic Challenge office can advise all clients on specific flights when they book a course. General flight advice is available in our Information Pack, available to those booking holidays on request.
