Fly from Oslo to Belfast: Your Gateway to the Titanic City and the Causeway Coast

Experience the Legend of Northern Ireland

From the shipyards that built the Titanic to the rugged landscapes that filmed Game of Thrones, Belfast is a city of stories. For Norwegian travelers, a trip from Oslo to Belfast offers a unique blend of history, culture, and stunning coastal scenery. Whether you are planning a road trip along the Causeway Coastal Route or a city break in the buzzing Cathedral Quarter, Ready2Go is your trusted partner for the journey.

Flying from Oslo (OSL) to Belfast is a journey into a region that has transformed into one of Europe’s most exciting destinations. At Ready2Go, we specialize in connecting Scandinavia with the UK, ensuring that your trip across the North Sea is seamless, secure, and perfectly planned.

Why Book Your Belfast Flight with Ready2Go?

Traveling to Northern Ireland involves specific logistics, from choosing the right airport to navigating post-Brexit entry rules. Why handle the complexity alone?

1. Navigating UK Entry (ETA)
As of 2025/2026, the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) is a mandatory requirement for Norwegian citizens visiting the UK. We guide our clients through this digital process, ensuring you have the correct permissions linked to your passport before you fly. We track the bureaucracy so you don't have to worry about being turned away at the border.

2. Two Airports, One City
Belfast is served by two airports: Belfast International (BFS) and George Best Belfast City (BHD).

Which one to choose? It depends on your connection. Flights via Amsterdam usually land at City Airport (minutes from downtown), while flights via London or low-cost carriers often use International. Our experts analyze your itinerary to choose the arrival point that saves you time and transfer costs.

3. Local Norwegian Support
We are based here in Norway. If a storm delays your connection in London or you need assistance while abroad, you have a direct line to a team that speaks your language. We provide a safety net for your international travel, advocating on your behalf with airlines to resolve disruptions quickly.

The Journey: Oslo (OSL) to Belfast

Departure from Gardermoen:
Your journey begins at Oslo Airport Gardermoen.

• The Route: There are typically no direct flights from Oslo to Belfast. Your itinerary will involve a brief layover, usually in London (Heathrow/Gatwick) or Amsterdam. We select connections with "smart" buffer times—long enough to comfortably transfer, but short enough to keep your total travel time under 5-6 hours.
• Arrival in Belfast:
• George Best City Airport (BHD): Located just 5 minutes from the city center. It is incredibly convenient for business travelers or weekend breakers.
• Belfast International (BFS): Located about 30 minutes northwest of the city. The Airport Express 300 bus runs frequently to the Europa Buscentre in the heart of Belfast.

Why Belfast Captivates Norwegians

Belfast offers a warm welcome and a landscape that feels strangely familiar yet distinctly Celtic.

• Titanic Belfast: This is the world's largest Titanic visitor experience, located on the very slipways where the ship was built. It is a world-class attraction that is moving, educational, and architecturally stunning.
• The Pub Culture: Belfast’s pubs are legendary. Visit the Crown Liquor Saloon, a Victorian gin palace with private "snugs," or explore the Cathedral Quarter for live music and "craic."
• Gateway to Nature: Rent a car and drive north. Within an hour, you are at the Giant's Causeway (UNESCO World Heritage site) or crossing the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. The coastline is dramatic, windswept, and beautiful.

Essential Travel Tips for Your Trip

To ensure your Northern Irish adventure is flawless, here is some expert advice from our team:

Passport is Mandatory: A National ID card is not valid for entry into the UK. You must travel with a valid passport.

Currency Awareness: Northern Ireland uses the British Pound (£). However, local banks issue their own banknotes (Bank of Ireland, Danske Bank, etc.). They look different from English notes but are legal tender.

Ready2Go Tip: Try to spend your Northern Irish notes before you leave, or exchange them for "English" pounds if you are traveling to London afterwards, as some shops in England can be fussy about them.

Weather: The weather is very similar to Vestlandet (Western Norway)—changeable and often wet. Pack a waterproof jacket and layers.
