Here are some ideas for putting together 2 low-cost airlines on the route(s). Your’s via PMI shows up in the list with some other ideas. http://www.whichbudg…

A couple things to keep in mind:

1.Norway is big, and mountainous—meaning it takes a long time between cities if you don’t fly. The Oslo-Bergen train (which I highly recommend) is usually about 6-6.5 hours, and it’s worth doing one-way at least. There are low-cost flights within Norway if you find that Oslo airports or Stavanger or Bergen, Trondheim, whatever is cheapest, then add separate flights with Norwegian.no or another airlines. The Whichbudget link I made will help you find those, also try www.skyscanner.net.

2. Realize the risks of mis-connecting on 2 separate tickets. If airline A gets you there too late, for whatever reason, Airline B does not and most likely will not accomodate you.

Have you considered getting a bus from Granada to Malaga Airport, to see if the flights are significantly cheaper/easier that way? Whichbudget found Norwegian.no on AGP-RYG or OSL with nonstop flights around 100 EUR currently.

Also keep on mind that there are 3 “Oslo” airports. The main airport is called Gardermoen north of Oslo proper—and on the train line ; then there is Torp about 100km to the south of Oslo proper; then the newest is a low-cost airport called Rygge which is east of Oslo proper.

I used to live in Norway and had to fly often, so let me know if you need more help with this.

Thank you sooooo much for all the help! I assume the Oslo-Bergen train ride is extremely scenic; I would love to see that! I did look into the Granada-Malaga-Oslo. So far that way has been the cheapest I’ve found. I am a little lost on which other airports to try.
In your experience, which airports in continental Europe, are the cheapest for flights into Norway?
Thanks again!!!

Generally it would be cities served by airline Norwegian.no or other low-cost airlines. Here’s a current fare list for flights in June 2010: http://www.skyscanne…

Oslo’s 3 airports have the lion’s share of low-cost flights, followed by Bergen, Stavanger, and Trondheim.

When people tell me they’re going to Norway, and ask what they should see in Oslo, I always ask them “why Oslo?” Head to the west coast for the awesome fjord scenery—Bergen and Stavanger are easiest to get to. Oslo is good as a starting or ending point to get that train to Bergen, but otherwise, it’s not a place I enjoyed spending much time in. There’s a couple of minor highlights (is that an oxymoron?) — Aker Brygge, Bygdoy, Frogner Park — but otherwise, the scenery is not really impressive, in my opinion.

For trains check www.nsb.no and look for the “minipris” tickets — sometimes as cheap as 199 NOK from Gardermoen (the main airport station) all the way to Bergen central.
