The connection between Oslo and Aberdeen is more than just a flight route; it is an industrial lifeline. Known as the "Oil Capitals of Europe," these two cities share a unique bond forged by the North Sea. Whether you are commuting for the energy sector, embarking on a rugged Highland adventure, or testing your skills on historic golf links, the journey from Oslo to Aberdeen is one of our most important routes.
At Ready2Go, we specialize in bridging the gap between Norway and Scotland. We understand that for many travelers on this route, efficiency is everything. Flying from Oslo (OSL) to Aberdeen (ABZ) is a quick hop across the water, but the logistics of business travel and post-Brexit regulations require a steady hand. We are here to ensure your commute is seamless, secure, and professional.
For the corporate traveler, time is currency. For the leisure traveler, peace of mind is luxury. We provide both by combining modern booking technology with traditional Norwegian service standards.

We specialize in Flexible Corporate Ticketing, allowing you to change your departure or cancel without the heavy penalties associated with standard economy fares. We keep your workforce moving efficiently between the Norwegian Continental Shelf and the UK sector.
2. Golf & Special Baggage
Aberdeenshire is a gateway to some of the world's finest links golf courses. Traveling with clubs can be stressful—worries about damage, weight limits, and handling fees are common. Our experts help you pre-book the correct baggage allowance for your sports equipment, ensuring your driver arrives in the same condition it left Gardermoen.
3. Navigating UK Entry (ETA)
Travel to the UK has evolved. As of 2026, the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) is a mandatory requirement for Norwegian citizens. Do not get caught out at the gate. We provide up-to-date guidance on how to secure your digital permission to travel, ensuring all your documentation is in order long before you pack your passport.
Departure from Gardermoen:
Your journey begins at Oslo Airport Gardermoen.
The Commuter Route: Because this is a high-frequency business route, we recommend using Fast Track security if your ticket allows. It is the best way to bypass the morning rush and enjoy a quiet coffee before boarding.
Flight Duration: It is a remarkably short flight—often under two hours. You can leave Oslo after breakfast and be in Aberdeen in time for a late morning meeting.
Arrival at Aberdeen International Airport (ABZ):
You will land at Dyce, located just northwest of the city center.
Airport Layout: ABZ is compact and efficient, designed for the quick turnover of business travelers. You can be off the plane and in a taxi in minutes.
Transfers: The airport is well-connected. The Jet 727 bus offers a direct link to the Union Square bus station in the city center. Taxis are plentiful, and for those heading straight to offices in Westhill or Tullos, rental cars are readily available.
While industry dominates, the "Granite City" (named for its shimmering grey stone buildings) has a charm that appeals to Norwegian tastes.
Gateway to Royal Deeside: Rent a car and drive west. Within minutes, you are in the Cairngorms National Park, exploring castles (including Balmoral) and stunning whisky distilleries along the River Dee.
The Coastline: The Aberdeenshire coast features dramatic cliffs and sandy beaches that rival our own. Exploring the ruins of Dunnottar Castle, perched on a cliff edge near Stonehaven, is a must.
Golfing Gold: From Royal Aberdeen to Cruden Bay, this region offers challenging links golf that attracts players from around the world.
To ensure your Scottish trip is flawless, here is some expert advice from our team:
Passport Mandatory: A National ID card is no longer sufficient for entry into the UK. You must travel with a valid passport.
Weather Wisdom: If you think the weather in Western Norway is changeable, welcome to Scotland. "Four seasons in one day" is a real phenomenon here. Pack layers and a waterproof jacket, even in summer.
Currency: The currency is the British Pound (£). Note that Scottish banks issue their own notes. They look different from English pounds but are legal tender.
Power: Don't forget your Type G adapter (three pins).
Corporate Accounts: We offer consolidated invoicing and travel management for companies with frequent travel needs between OSL and ABZ.
Group Golf Trips: Planning a tournament with colleagues? We handle the complex logistics of group flights and transfers, ensuring everyone (and their clubs) arrives together.
VFR (Visiting Friends & Relatives): With a large expat community in both cities, we help families find the best value fares for visits home.
