Not fussed where you land and just want to save? Get a list of the cheapest places to fly into by adding your departure airport, then entering 'Norway' in the 'To' field.
Alternatively, select 'Add nearby airports' at the beginning of your search if you already know your destination city. This will display flight prices for any nearby arrival airports so you can quickly find the best deal.
Save yourself the effort of checking fares every day by setting up a Price Alert. You'll get an email or a push notification on the app when prices drop.
About one month ahead is an ideal time to book your plane ticket. This is a general recommendation to help find the cheapest fares.
The best time to go to Norway
To find the month with the cheapest flights, use the 'Whole month' tool. If your travel dates are flexible, search for the green prices on the calendar — they show you the lowest fares available that month.
Organise your trip for September if you prefer to be there when it's busy. This is the most popular month for flights, but also when fares are typically more expensive.
January is the quietest time of year to visit if you want a slower pace. You'll generally find cheaper prices on plane tickets to Norway then.
Choose the season that matches how you like to explore, whether that's cooler, hotter or somewhere in between. July is one of the warmest months in Norway, with maximum average temperatures of 14ºC (57ºF).
February brings cooler conditions, with low average temperatures of -3ºC (27ºF).
Rain is more frequent in February, while June is generally drier.
When choosing your travel dates, also take into account winter storm season and periods of heavy rainfall. Weather risks can vary by region, so it's worth checking what applies to the areas you're travelling through.
