The Commuter Route: Connecting East and West Norway
The flight corridor between Oslo and Stavanger is one of the busiest and most vital connections in the Nordic region. It links the administrative and financial hub of the capital with the industrial powerhouse and scenic beauty of the West Coast. At Ready2Go, we understand that for many passengers on this route, efficiency is everything. Whether you are an energy sector professional commuting for the week, or a nature enthusiast chasing the views atop Pulpit Rock, we are your dedicated local partner for seamless domestic travel.

The Flight Experience: Oslo (OSL) to Stavanger (SVG)
This route is a "shuttle" service in the truest sense, with high frequency and short travel times.
- Departure from Gardermoen: Your journey begins at Oslo Airport (OSL). Given the high volume of business travelers, the domestic terminal is efficient. We recommend using the Flytoget express train for the most reliable arrival at the airport.
- The Journey West: The flight duration is typically just 50 to 55 minutes. It is a quick hop over the mountainous interior of Southern Norway (Telemark and Setesdal) before descending towards the dramatic North Sea coastline.
- Arrival at Sola: You will land at Stavanger Airport, Sola (SVG). It is an international hub with excellent facilities. Located just 15 minutes from the city center and major business parks like Forus, it allows for a quick transition from the runway to the boardroom or hotel.
Destination: Stavanger – Industry Meets Nature
Stavanger is a city of fascinating contrasts, where historic wooden houses sit in the shadow of modern oil platforms and towering mountains.
- The Energy Capital
Stavanger is widely known as the "Oil Capital of Norway." It is the headquarters for the nation's energy industry. For our business clients, we offer itineraries that align with peak working hours, ensuring you can arrive for a 09:00 meeting and return home for dinner if needed. - Gateway to the Fjords
For leisure travelers, Stavanger is the jumping-off point for some of Norway's most iconic natural wonders. The Lysefjord is nearby, home to the world-famous Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) and the Kjeragbolten. These hikes are bucket-list items for international visitors and locals alike. - Urban Charm
Don't miss "Gamle Stavanger" (Old Stavanger), a preserved area of white wooden cottages dating back to the 18th century. The city also boasts a burgeoning culinary scene, with Michelin-starred restaurants and fresh seafood markets that rival any in Europe.
Essential Travel Tips for this Route
- Transport from Sola: The airport bus (Flybussen) is the most popular way to reach the city center, departing frequently and stopping at major hotels. Taxis are plentiful but can be expensive; the bus is often just as fast during rush hour.
- Weather Watch: The West Coast is famous for its rapidly changing weather. It is often windier and wetter than Oslo. Even if you are traveling for business, a high-quality raincoat is a standard part of the dress code here.
- Booking for Business: Monday mornings and Thursday/Friday afternoons are peak commute times. If you need to travel during these windows, we strongly advise booking your Ready2Go ticket in advance to secure a seat at a reasonable rate.
- Day Trips: If you have a layover or a free afternoon, the Sola beach (Solastranden) is right next to the airport. It is one of the finest sandy beaches in Norway and a popular spot for kite surfing.
