What OSL to LGW looks like
The OSL to LGW sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Oslo OSL to London LGW is a medium haul sector of 1,226 km by great circle, flown nonstop 4.3 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,226 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 2h 04m.
Oslo OSL is a large airport in the network held here, 146 scheduled destinations and 378.2 departures a day. London LGW has 203 destinations and 510.1 departures a day.
London is one hour behind of Oslo all year.
The pair sits inside Europe, a corridor where the site already publishes 14 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on OSL to LGW from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| OSL to LGW | 4.29 | 30 | Norwegian Air Shuttle |
| LGW to OSL | 4.14 | 29 | Norwegian Air Shuttle |
One carrier holds the sector, Norwegian Air Shuttle, so a cancellation has no second nonstop behind it and the connections below stop being theoretical.
At 4.3 times a day there is usually another departure within a few hours, which is what makes a same day booking on this pair realistic.
Between them the two directions put about 59 departures a week on OSL to LGW, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 2h 04m block time on OSL to LGW. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to OSL | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At OSL before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| OSL to LGW in the air, estimated | 124 min | 6h 34m |
| Formalities at LGW | 90 min | 8h 04m |
| Delivery run in London | 45 min | 8h 49m |
| Door to door | 529 min | 8h 49m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for OSL to LGW is 8h 49m.
A courier who leaves Oslo at 09:00 local is on the ground in London at about 10:04 local and at the door by 12:19 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in London, the last useful departure from Oslo is around 14:41 local.
When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 71 of them join OSL to LGW.
| Connecting at | OSL to hub, flights a day | Hub to LGW, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stavanger SVG | 22.14 | 1 | 1,276 | 3h 42m |
| Billund BLL | 3.14 | 1.14 | 1,309 | 3h 46m |
| Gothenburg GOT | 0.57 | 0.57 | 1,371 | 3h 49m |
| Bergen BGO | 25.57 | 2.43 | 1,396 | 3h 51m |
| Amsterdam AMS | 8.71 | 5.29 | 1,324 | 4h 15m |
| Copenhagen CPH | 22.43 | 5.29 | 1,501 | 4h 16m |
With 4.3 times a day on the nonstop, a connection here is a disruption plan rather than a routing, and it is listed because a closed runway or a cancellation wave is exactly when nobody has time to work it out.
71 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Stavanger SVG, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through SVG the routing covers 1,276 km against the 1,226 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 42m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 38m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Billund BLL at 3h 46m and Gothenburg GOT at 3h 49m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves London, London LHR is 41 km away by great circle and carries 212 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
Restricted hours at either end
Widely documented operating restrictions, checked 2026-09-07. Exemptions and seasonal variations exist, so confirm with the carrier before relying on any of them.
London LGW is shut to scheduled movements between 23:30 and 06:00 local, which matters here because an aircraft leaving Oslo late arrives into a closed airport rather than a quiet one.
London LGW, night restrictions: Night movements are capped between 23:30 and 06:00 local under a seasonal quota.
Read back down the sector, a departure from Oslo later than about 22:26 local arrives at LGW after it has closed for the night, on the 2h 04m block time above.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for OSL to LGW in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
