There’s an excellent fare available for travel to Oslo, with prices slightly varying based on your chosen route.
According to the Matrix Airfare Search by ITA Software, fares start at $780 for Regular Economy. When using the same travel dates on American Airlines, you may find options at $580 for Basic Economy and $780 for Regular Economy.
The $780 fare, offered by American, British Airways, Finnair, and Iberia, includes one checked bag and a full-size carry-on. In contrast, the $580 fare is classified as Basic Economy or Economy Light. Important to note for those considering this option, Basic Economy fares:
- DO NOT allow for advance seat selection.
- DO NOT include checked baggage—fees are $75 for the first bag and $100 for the second.
- DO NOT permit changes or cancellations, meaning if you cancel after the initial 24-hour period, the fare has no future value.
Many online travel agencies may not clearly label these fares, causing potential confusion regarding the Basic Economy classification offered by American, British Airways, Finnair, and Iberia.
Starting January 8, 2025, travelers must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) for entry into the United Kingdom, which will cost £10 for a period of two years. If you are merely transiting through the UK and staying airside, you won’t need an ETA, but passing through border control will require one. Be cautioned against fraudulent websites that charge more than the official £10 fee available through the UK Government.
Beginning April 9, 2025, the price of the ETA will increase to £16.
