Late Arrival or Early Departure at Oslo Airport? The Hotel Guide from Best Western Plus Oslo Airport
Are you catching an early flight from Oslo Airport Gardermoen, or landing late in the evening and need somewhere to sleep before you travel on? Many travellers, from business travellers to conference delegates, find themselves in exactly this situation. This practical guide shows you how to plan an efficient, stress-free stay at Best Western Plus Oslo Airport, whether your flight leaves at 06:00 or lands in the middle of the night.
Why stay near the airport for a late arrival or early departure
Best Western Plus Oslo Airport is only about 2 kilometres from Oslo Airport, roughly 7 minutes away by shuttle bus. That makes the hotel a natural choice when you want to avoid stress around early airport check-in, late landings or long layovers. Instead of spending the night at the airport or travelling all the way into central Oslo, you can sleep well in a newly renovated room and be at the terminal in minutes.

Shuttle bus to and from the airport
The shuttle bus (line S55) runs between the hotel and Oslo Airport every 30 minutes, with the first departure from the airport at 04:05 and the last at 01:05. The ride takes about 7 minutes. A ticket costs NOK 80 per trip for everyone aged 16 and over, and children under 16 travel free. Buy your ticket on board, in the Vy app or at vybuss.no. We recommend checking the timetable well before departure, especially if you have a very early flight. You will find all the details on our transportation page.
Early breakfast for morning flights
If you need to catch an early flight, you do not have to leave the hotel on an empty stomach. Best Western Plus Oslo Airport offers an Early Bird breakfast from 04:00 every day, in addition to the regular breakfast buffet Monday to Friday from 06:30 to 09:30, and Saturday to Sunday from 07:00 to 10:00.

Late arrival, early check-in and late check-out
Check-in starts at 15:00, and the reception is staffed around the clock. That means you can check in late in the evening or in the middle of the night at no extra cost. If you land after midnight, book the night before. For example, if you land on 2 October at 01:00, book from 1 to 2 October and let us know you will arrive late, and your room will be ready when you get here.
