Cheap Flights to Norway
Cheap flights to Norway land at a spread of gateways, from Oslo in the south to Tromso, Bodo and Longyearbyen in the far north. Most trips begin with the capital, then continue by air or along the coast. Business travellers tend to head for Oslo and Stavanger, while holidaymakers pick Bergen and Alesund for the west coast, Tromso and Alta for the northern lights, and Kirkenes or Longyearbyen when they want to go properly far north.

Gateways
Oslo is the capital and the usual first stop, with plenty of onward connections to the rest of the country. Stavanger suits business travel and the southwest. Bergen and Alesund work well for west-coast trips, Trondheim and Bodo for the middle of the country, and Tromso and Alta for northern lights. Kristiansand covers the south, Harstad/Narvik and Kirkenes put you close to the far north, and Longyearbyen sits far beyond the mainland.

When to go
Summer brings the midnight sun and the busiest weeks for flights, especially to Tromso, Bodo and Longyearbyen. Winter is quieter along the coast but fills up around the northern lights season, when Alta, Tromso and Kirkenes get busy. Spring and autumn are the calmest times to fly, with more room to pick your dates. If your trip depends on a clear northern lights window or a week of midnight sun, book early rather than at the last minute.
