Terminal Information – Departing

This is only a guideline. Always check your boarding pass for up-to-date terminal information.

Both airlines fly out of Manchester Airport's Terminal 1, the largest and most modern terminal. Norway isn't a member of the European Union, so you can enjoy a tax free allowance in the airport's shops. As well as luxury items from Biza Duty Free you can enjoy a discount at Dixons Travel, Monsoon, Fat Face and more. If you're hungry there are plenty of places to grab a bite to eat: whether you feel like cocktails and tapas (Bar MCR), a massive coffee and a slice of cake (Starbucks) or something more substantial (Giraffe). Every passenger can enjoy one hour of free Wi-Fi in the terminal, but if that's not enough you can check into the Escape Lounge. Prices start at £19.99 per person, and this includes unlimited Wi-Fi as well as a range of complimentary snacks and drinks.

Terminal Information – Arriving

Practical Information

British Citizens don't need a visa to visit Norway, just a valid passport. If you're planning to stay for more than three months you will need to speak to the Norwegian Embassy for advice. For international flights we recommend arriving at the airport about two hours before departure.

What to expect in Oslo

Oslo is one hour ahead of Manchester and the currency is the Norwegian Krone. Oslo is very expensive, so be prepared to break the bank. A pint of beer is nearly double the price, and a meal out will set you back about 25% more than it would in Manchester. During the winter Oslo can be very cold, with temperatures often dipping well below freezing. In summer it's often hotter than Manchester.
