What OSL to WAW looks like
The OSL to WAW sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Oslo OSL to Warsaw WAW is a short sector of 1,079 km by great circle, flown nonstop 4 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,079 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 1h 53m.
Oslo OSL is a large airport in the network held here, 146 scheduled destinations and 378.2 departures a day. Warsaw WAW has 165 destinations and 327.5 departures a day.
Oslo and Warsaw keep the same clock all year, so the arrival time is the departure time plus the block and nothing else.
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 WAW from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| OSL to WAW | 4 | 28 | LOT - Polish Airlines, Norwegian Air Shuttle |
| WAW to OSL | 4.14 | 29 | LOT - Polish Airlines, Norwegian Air Shuttle |
Two carriers hold the sector, LOT - Polish Airlines and Norwegian Air Shuttle, which gives a missed departure somewhere to go without leaving the nonstop.
At 4 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 57 departures a week on OSL to WAW, 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 1h 53m block time on OSL to WAW. 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 WAW in the air, estimated | 113 min | 6h 23m |
| Formalities at WAW | 90 min | 7h 53m |
| Delivery run in Warsaw | 45 min | 8h 38m |
| Door to door | 518 min | 8h 38m |
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 WAW is 8h 38m.
A courier who leaves Oslo at 09:00 local is on the ground in Warsaw at about 10:53 local and at the door by 13:08 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Warsaw, the last useful departure from Oslo is around 13:52 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. 83 of them join OSL to WAW.
| Connecting at | OSL to hub, flights a day | Hub to WAW, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gothenburg GOT | 0.57 | 0.86 | 1,114 | 3h 29m |
| Gdansk GDN | 4 | 5.86 | 1,080 | 3h 35m |
| Billund BLL | 3.14 | 1.43 | 1,376 | 3h 52m |
| Riga RIX | 3.71 | 3.86 | 1,392 | 3h 54m |
| Stockholm ARN | 18 | 3.29 | 1,239 | 3h 54m |
| Vilnius VNO | 2.43 | 6 | 1,443 | 3h 55m |
With 4 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.
83 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Gothenburg GOT, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 4 times a week.
Through GOT the routing covers 1,114 km against the 1,079 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 29m 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 36m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Gdansk GDN at 3h 35m and Billund BLL at 3h 52m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Warsaw, Krakow KRK is 246 km away by great circle and carries 135 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.

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 WAW 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.
