International to Domestic Transfer at Oslo Airport

International to Domestic Transfer at Oslo Airport - Back view of trendy businesswoman carrying baggage before flight near airport building

I've been Googling and watching some videos, but I am still confused, and I have got two questions basically. ONE: Can someone tell me the TRANSFER procedure at Oslo Airport? I'll be flying Austrian from my home town (Sarajevo) to Vienna and from Vienna to Oslo, and then SAS from Oslo to Trondheim. What happens with my boarding pass? Both airlines are Star Alliance, so do you think I'll get all passes on my first flight? If I don't, should I get my Trondheim pass in Oslo? Thank you!

Update (Covid-19 Situation, 16 August 2020):

Generally:

  • Oslo airport is one of the best organized small and modern airports in Northern Europe.

Can someone tell me the transfer procedure at Oslo Airport?:

  • You normally arrive in the East Pier section (boarding gates E2-E15, D1-D11 and F12-F26) of the terminals, and will most likely have to proceed to the West Pier section (boarding gates C1-C9).
  • Unless you arrive in gates E14/F14 (extremely unlikely in your case), you can just walk to your new gate in max 15mins.
  • No passport control (except arriving in E14/F14), however! in the past two years OSL airport police has quite often decided to send a couple of police officers right to the jet bridge (PBB) to check all disembarking passengers' passports quickly. Depending on where you sit, you might want to calculate an additional 1-20min transfer time.
  • You board the your connecting SAS flight.

What happens with my boarding pass?:

  • Not much, you either get it in Sarajevo, Vienna or Oslo.
  • Make sure you have checked in for all flights (online or in Sarajevo).
  • If you manage to get it from an SAS counter, you will only get one boarding pass with all three segments printed on it for that day.
  • Make sure you also get a mobile boarding pass on your phone as a backup.

Do you think I'll get all passes on my first flight?:

  • Yes
  • I forgot if Sarajevo had an SAS counter, but in any case just go to the LX/LX/OS counter in Sarajevo and have them print out all boarding passes.
  • If for any strange reason you won't get you boarding passes in Sarajevo, go to the SAS counter in Vienna or Oslo.
  • Allow for a 60min minimal transfer time in Vienna and Oslo, unless you have HON Circle or VIP/C status and fly all segments in C/D class.
