How to travel around Norway by air

What to expect when flying between cities or connecting after an international arrival.

Flying between cities in Norway

  • Check checked baggage by ticket type
    Norwegian states that checked baggage inclusion depends on ticket type. Check your booking for domestic segments rather than applying another fare’s allowance.
  • Domestic routes and flight connections
    Norwegian's Bergen-to-Norway destination page lists domestic points including Oslo-Gardermoen (OSL) and Trondheim (TRD), with direct and connecting options. Confirm the airport pair and flights for your travel date on Norwegian's site.

Arriving from another country

  • Use UDI and official Norwegian consular guidance
    Use UDI and the relevant Norwegian mission to check visitor visas, residence documents and travel requirements for your circumstances; another traveler’s exemption may not apply.

Can I ignore mainland Norway return-visa conditions when visiting Svalbard?

Does every Norwegian ticket include checked baggage?
