๐ข Terminal Information
Oslo Airport Gardermoen uses a single terminal building with a central departures hall that feeds east and west piers for Schengen flights and a dedicated north pier for non-Schengen services. Domestic and Schengen passengers share most gate areas, while passport-controlled zones for non-Schengen and regional flights are clearly separated airside.
Walking times are moderateโthe farthest Schengen gates are about 10โ12 minutes from security, and the non-Schengen north pier is roughly 8โ10 minutes via the central connector. Moving walkways and clear signage keep step-free routes similar for travelers using wheelchairs or strollers.
Security screening is consolidated just beyond check-in with multiple lanes, including Fast Track for premium tickets and families with small children. Typical waits hover around 10โ20 minutes, though early-morning European banked departures can extend queues; the airport app posts live estimates.
Immigration for non-Schengen departures and arrivals is processed at the entrance to the north pier with automated eGates for eligible passports. Customs inspection on arrival follows baggage claim with green/red channel separation, and transfers between Schengen and non-Schengen gates require re-clearing passport control but not security when staying airside.
Amenities include SAS Lounges in both Schengen and non-Schengen zones, the OSL Lounge near Gate E8, and numerous cafรฉs such as Joe & The Juice and local bakery W.B. Samson. Family rooms and play areas are scattered near Gates A10 and F19, baby-changing stations are standard in restrooms, and the terminal features tactile flooring, elevators, and step-free boarding bridges for accessibility.
๐ Connection Tips
Passport control applies for NonโSchengen connections; follow purple transfer signage.
