Escape the Nordic Winter to the Canary Islands
For generations of Norwegians, the flight from Oslo to Tenerife has been more than just a route; it is the ultimate escape. As the largest of the Canary Islands, Tenerife offers a reliable refuge of sunshine, warm ocean breezes, and volcanic beauty when the days in Norway are at their shortest and coldest. At Ready2Go, we are your dedicated local partner for this beloved journey. Whether you are a family seeking a resort holiday in the south, a hiker aiming to conquer Mount Teide, or a retiree looking for a long-stay winter home, we provide the secure, locally grounded booking service you need to travel with total peace of mind.
Why Choose Ready2Go for Your Canary Islands Holiday?
Tenerife is one of the most popular destinations from Oslo Airport, especially during the winter season. With high demand comes a flood of booking options, often leading to confusion with international aggregators and hidden baggage fees. Ready2Go offers a refreshing alternative: a Norwegian travel agency that prioritizes your security and simplifies the process.
- Local Security & Standards: We operate under strict Norwegian consumer protection regulations. When you book with us, you are supported by a local team. If a sandstorm (calima) affects flights or schedules shift, you have a partner who speaks your language and understands your rights, providing a safety net that anonymous global sites cannot match.
- Smart Routing: The route from Oslo to Tenerife is served by both scheduled and charter carriers. Our platform filters for the most logical itineraries. We prioritize direct flights to Tenerife South (TFS) to get you to the beach faster but also offer efficient connections for flexible dates.
- Transparent Pricing: We believe in honest communication. The price you see at the start is the price you pay. We strip away the hidden fees, offering a straightforward booking experience that lets you budget for your holiday dinners and excursions without stress.
The Journey: Oslo (OSL) to Tenerife (TFS)
Connecting the frozen fjords to the subtropical Atlantic is a journey of anticipation.
- Departure from Gardermoen: Your trip begins at Oslo Airport (OSL). As a world-class facility, OSL ensures a smooth start. We recommend utilizing the Flytoget airport express for a punctual arrival. During winter, the contrast between the snow outside the terminal and the destination ahead makes the departure lounge feel particularly cozy.
- Flight Duration: A direct flight typically takes approximately 5 hours and 30 minutes to 6 hours. It is a longer medium-haul flight, so we recommend bringing entertainment or a good book. The approach to the island offers stunning views of the Mount Teide volcano rising above the clouds.
- Arrival in Tenerife: You will likely land at Tenerife South Airport (TFS), also known as Reina Sofía. It is the primary gateway for international tourists and is conveniently located near the major resort towns of Playa de las Américas, Costa Adeje, and Los Cristianos.
Destination: Tenerife – A Continent in Miniature
Tenerife is unique in its diversity. It is not just a beach destination; it is an island of dramatic contrasts.
- The Sunny South
The southern coast is famous for its golden sandy beaches, calm waters, and vibrant promenade life. This is the heart of the "Syden" experience Norwegians love. Whether you want luxury shopping in Costa Adeje or a family-friendly atmosphere in Los Cristianos, the south guarantees sun. - The Green North
The northern part of the island, including the city of Puerto de la Cruz, is lush, green, and tropical. It offers a more authentic Canarian experience with black volcanic sand beaches and colonial architecture. - Mount Teide National Park
Dominating the island is Mount Teide, the highest peak in Spain. A UNESCO World Heritage site, its lunar landscapes are a must-visit. You can drive through the clouds to the base and take a cable car to the summit for views that stretch across the archipelago.
Practical Travel Tips for Norwegians
- Airports: Be aware that Tenerife has two airports: South (TFS) and North (TFN). Most international flights from Oslo land at TFS. TFN is primarily for inter-island and mainland Spain connections. Always check your ticket carefully.
- Duty-Free Status: The Canary Islands are outside the EU VAT area. This means shopping for perfumes, electronics, and alcohol can be significantly cheaper than in mainland Europe or Norway.
- Sun Protection: The UV index in Tenerife is very high, even on cloudy days, due to its proximity to the equator. High SPF sunscreen is essential for Nordic skin.
- Car Rental: To truly see the island—from the cliffs of Los Gigantes to the forests of Anaga—renting a car is highly recommended. The roads are excellent, and driving is safe.
