Transfer time at Oslo OSL Airport
TL;DR: Is a 1h20m transfer time enough for a EU citizen at Oslo (OSL) airport?
I'm looking into buying plane tickets to Norway with a transfer in Oslo.
- The flight will be Munich(MUC) ➡ Oslo(OSL) ➡ Tromsø (TOS).
- Both flights will be operated by the same airline (SAS)
- I'm a EU citizen
- I will have check-in baggage
The connection gets offered this way by the airline directly but another connections with the same first flight but a 2h transfer time is also offered.
My experience in flying showed that transfer times vary greatly depending on airport and country (From 15 minutes to hours).
Additionally: Will I go trough customs in Oslo or Tromsø?

It’s is more than adequate for sure if you only have carry on and more than likely ok even with checked baggage, Oslo’s airport is really small

How long does it take to get through Oslo Airport?
Depending on the time of your arrival passport control, baggage claim, check-in, bag drop and security can take as little as 20-30 minutes, but also up towards 90-120 minutes. Personally I'd leave 3-4 hours between flight to be on the safe side.Is 1 hour enough for transfer?
Re: Transfer time - one hour time enough? It's doable, but there is a very good chance it will take a min of twenty mins from landing to disembarking. You need to be at the gate 20 mins before departure of the next flight, normally, so you have twenty mins to clear security and get to the next terminal.Is 1 hour enough for connecting flights?
As a rule of thumb, on domestic routes, you need a minimum of 45 minutes between flights. That's because you don't have to go through security, customs, and immigration.Is 2 hours enough for a connecting flight?
Consider allowing at least 60 to 90 minutes for a U.S. domestic connection, and at least two hours for an international connection. Airlines usually allow you four hours or more maximum connecting time.Domestic transfer at Oslo Airport
