London calls to Norwegians like few other cities do. Whether it is the roar of a Premier League stadium, the endless shopping on Oxford Street, or critical business meetings in the City, the connection between Oslo and London is a lifeline. Flying from Oslo (OSL) to London Gatwick (LGW) is often the savvy traveler's choice, offering a perfect balance of convenience and value.
At Ready2Go, we specialize in optimizing this popular route. We understand that London has multiple airports, and choosing the right one can define your trip. We are here to ensure your journey to Gatwick is seamless, from the moment you search for tickets until you board the train to Victoria Station.
London Heathrow may be the biggest, but Gatwick is often the smartest option for leisure travelers and efficient business commuters. But navigating the post-Brexit travel landscape can be tricky. That is where we come in.
1. Navigating UK Entry Rules
Travel to the UK has changed. As your local Norwegian experts, we keep you updated on the latest requirements. From the necessity of valid passports (national ID cards are no longer accepted) to the UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) scheme, we ensure you have the correct documentation before you fly, saving you from stressful situations at the border.
2. Strategic Route Planning
Gatwick is a hub for both value-focused airlines and full-service carriers. We monitor flight schedules to find departures that maximize your time in London. Whether you need an early morning flight to make a lunch meeting or a late Friday departure for a weekend getaway, we find the seat that fits your schedule.
3. Human Support in a Digital World
If your flight is cancelled or you need to change your return date due to an emergency, you don't want to deal with a chatbot. Ready2Go provides local support based in Norway. We handle the logistics so you can focus on your trip.
Departure from Gardermoen:
The flight time is short—typically around 2 hours and 15 minutes. It is a quick hop across the North Sea. We recommend arriving at Gardermoen with time to spare, especially if you are traveling during school holidays when London is a top destination for Norwegian families.
Arrival at Gatwick:
Gatwick is located south of Central London and is divided into the North and South Terminals, connected by a free monorail shuttle.
The Gatwick Express Advantage: The biggest selling point of flying into LGW is the rail connection. The Gatwick Express gets you to London Victoria station in about 30 minutes. It is often faster and more reliable than taking a taxi through London traffic.
Location Strategy: If you are visiting Brighton or the south coast of England, Gatwick is significantly more convenient than Heathrow or Stansted.
To ensure your trip meets the highest standards of preparation, here is our expert advice:
Passport Validity: Ensure your passport is valid for the duration of your stay. The rules are stricter now than when the UK was in the EU.
Power Adapters: Don't get caught with a dead phone. The UK uses Type G plugs (three rectangular pins). Pack an adapter in your carry-on.
Time Zone: The UK is 1 hour behind Norway (GMT/BST). Enjoy gaining an extra hour when you land!
Currency: The currency is the British Pound (£). London is virtually cashless now; contactless card payments are accepted on buses, the Tube, and even at market stalls.
Football Fans: Traveling to see Arsenal, Chelsea, or Spurs? We handle group bookings for supporters' clubs, ensuring everyone flies on the same itinerary.
Shopping Weekends: London sales are legendary. We can help you book fare classes that include extra checked baggage for your return journey.
Business Commuters: We offer flexible ticketing options for professionals who need to keep their schedules open.
Make your next trip to the UK capital stress-free. Choose the route that works for you and the agency that works for you.
