For thousands of Norwegians, the flight from Oslo to Alicante is more than a holiday route; it is a commute to a second home. The Costa Blanca has long been the preferred refuge for those seeking to escape the Nordic chill, offering a microclimate that is rated as one of the healthiest in the world. Whether you are visiting grandparents in Alfaz del Pi, opening up your summer house in Torrevieja, or embarking on a golf marathon, Ready2Go is your dedicated partner for this essential connection.
Flying from Oslo (OSL) to Alicante (ALC) is one of the busiest routes from Gardermoen. However, quantity does not always equal quality when it comes to booking. At Ready2Go, we strip away the stress of automated bookings and hidden fees, ensuring your trip to the Mediterranean is as relaxing as the destination itself.
Given the popularity of this route, you have many options. But Ready2Go offers a service tailored specifically to the unique needs of the Norwegian community on the Costa Blanca.
1. Tailored for Homeowners and Long-Stays
We know that many travelers to Alicante aren't just going for a week. You might be staying for a month, or the entire winter. We specialize in finding flexible tickets that allow you to change your return date without penalty—perfect for when you decide the Norwegian snow can wait a little longer.
2. Golf & Special Baggage Experts
Alicante is a golfer's paradise. But traveling with clubs can be a logistical nightmare of weight limits and handling fees. Our experts pre-book your sports equipment, ensuring your clubs arrive safely and without expensive surprises at the check-in desk. We handle the details so you can focus on your handicap.
3. Local Norwegian Support
When you are traveling to "Syden," you want peace of mind. If a strike disrupts Spanish air traffic or you need assistance with a family emergency requiring a quick flight home, Ready2Go is your local safety net. You speak to a team based in Norway who understands your situation and resolves it quickly.
Departure from Gardermoen:
Your journey begins at Oslo Airport Gardermoen.
Ready2Go Tip: This route is heavily trafficked by families and seniors. If you require assistance getting to the gate or need pre-boarding for young children, let us arrange this in advance to ensure a smooth start.
Arrival at Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport (ALC):
You will land at the gateway to the Costa Blanca.
Strategic Location: The airport is perfectly situated. You are roughly 15 minutes from Alicante city, 45 minutes from Benidorm/Albir to the north, and 45 minutes from Torrevieja to the south.
Transfers: Most Norwegians rent cars here. We can advise on flight arrival times that align with rental desk availability to avoid the long queues that often form when multiple flights from Scandinavia land simultaneously. Alternatively, there are reliable shuttle buses (like the Beniconnect) that service the main resort towns.
There is a reason this region is often called "Little Norway." The connection between our two cultures runs deep here.
Community: In towns like Alfaz del Pi, you will find Norwegian schools, churches, and even 17th of May parades. It offers the comfort of home with the climate of Spain.
The Climate: The World Health Organization has praised the local climate. The salt lakes of Torrevieja create a dry, warm environment that is particularly beneficial for those with rheumatism or respiratory issues—a major draw for our senior clients.
Activities: Beyond the beaches of San Juan and La Mata, the region offers incredible hiking in the Guadalest Valley and world-class cycling routes used by professional teams.
To ensure your stay on the White Coast is perfect, here is some expert advice from our team:
Siesta is Real: Unlike the tourist traps, authentic Spanish towns still observe the siesta. Shops often close between 14:00 and 17:00. Plan your grocery shopping accordingly!
Sun Safety: The sun here is deceptive. Even in winter, the UV index can be strong enough to burn. High SPF is mandatory year-round.
Water: While tap water is safe to bathe in and brush teeth, the high mineral and chlorine content can taste unpleasant. We recommend buying large 5L or 8L bottles of water for drinking.
Driving: If you rent a car, remember that roundabouts in Spain have specific rules (stay in the outside lane if you are exiting). Police are strict on this.
The "Snowbirds": For retirees heading south for the winter, we assist with complex itineraries that might involve family visiting in shifts. We manage the logistics for the whole extended family.
Golf Groups: Organizing a tournament trip? We handle group bookings for 10+ travelers, ensuring you are on the same flight and your tee times aren't threatened by lost luggage.
Property Owners: We offer travel management for those who commute frequently to check on their properties, providing consistent service and invoice consolidation.
Whether you are going home to your "hytte" in Spain or discovering the coast for the first time, travel with confidence. Let Ready2Go handle the logistics.
