Looking for cheap flights from Manchester to Oslo? Stunning Holiday helps you compare fares from leading international airlines, making it easy to find competitive prices and convenient flight options. Whether you're travelling to explore Viking history, marvel at cutting-edge Scandinavian architecture, or use the city as a launchpad to Norway's spectacular fjords, our experienced travel consultants are here to help you book with confidence.
Manchester Airport (MAN) is one of the UK's premier international gateways, offering exceptional, highly sought-after direct, non-stop flights to Oslo Gardermoen Airport (OSL). With flexible travel dates and a wide choice of airlines, finding a short-haul flight to this eco-friendly, fjord-side European metropolis that suits your schedule and budget has never been easier.
Every booking with Stunning Holiday comes with expert customer support, competitive fares, secure payment options, and ATOL Protection (ATOL Licence No. 6754), giving you complete peace of mind throughout your booking journey.
Flight prices between Manchester and Oslo vary throughout the year depending on seasonal demand, airline schedules, seat availability, and how far in advance you book. Because the flight is short and incredibly convenient (taking approximately 2 hours), Oslo is a highly popular destination for culturally enriching weekend breaks and winter sports trips from the UK. Peak travel demand generally occurs during the bright, warm summer months and heavily during the winter when holidaymakers travel for skiing and Northern Lights tours further north.
Booking your Manchester to Oslo flights several months in advance often provides access to lower fares and preferred departure times. Travellers with flexible dates can frequently drastically reduce costs by choosing midweek departures (Tuesday or Wednesday) instead of the highly sought-after Friday evening to Sunday evening weekend windows.
At Stunning Holiday, we compare fares from trusted airlines to help you find the best combination of price, baggage allowance, journey time, and overall travel convenience.
🟢 Best Value Months
January, February, and November generally offer the lowest fares. The winter weather in Oslo is cold, crisp, and snowy, which naturally reduces standard leisure travel demand from the UK. However, this makes it an excellent time to find budget-friendly flight deals, discounted city-centre accommodation, and experience authentic Norwegian winter activities like ice skating or cross-country skiing right on the city's edge.
🟡 Moderate Fare Months
March, April, and October provide a great balance between competitive prices and excellent flight availability. The early spring and late autumn weather is crisp and highly pleasant, perfect for wandering the vast sculpture parks or taking a scenic cruise on the Oslofjord without the massive summer crowds.
🟠 Higher Demand Months
May, September, and December experience a surge in demand and higher fares. May brings the spectacular Norwegian Constitution Day celebrations (May 17th), while December draws visitors eager to experience the magical, snowy Christmas markets.
🔴 Peak Travel Season
June, July, and August offer the absolute peak travel windows. Escaping the UK for the glorious Norwegian summer drives up demand, as the days become incredibly long and the locals take to the water for swimming, sailing, and island-hopping in the fjord. Flights and central accommodation sell out incredibly quickly during these highly popular periods, making early booking absolutely essential.
Manchester Airport (MAN) is the largest and busiest airport in the UK outside of London, serving tens of millions of passengers every year.

The airport benefits from outstanding transport links, including a dedicated train station with direct connections across the North, Metrolink tram services, and major motorway access. With modern terminals, excellent passenger facilities, premium lounges, and multiple daily flights to Scandinavia, Manchester is the ideal departure point for your European getaway.
Getting to Oslo from Manchester is incredibly fast and convenient, giving travellers the excellent choice of premium carriers and budget-friendly direct flights. A direct flight takes approximately 2 hours.
Popular airlines serving this route include:

Booking your flights early is one of the best ways to secure competitive fares and preferred departure times. For a short-haul flight to Oslo, booking one to three months in advance is generally recommended to secure the best weekend fares. If you're planning to travel during the peak summer months, over the May holidays, or specifically for winter sports trips, booking three to six months in advance is strictly recommended.
Before travelling to Norway, ensure your UK passport meets the post-Brexit validity rules for entering the Schengen Area: it must be valid for at least three months after the day you plan to leave, and it must have been issued less than 10 years before the date you enter.
Important Entry Requirements for UK Citizens:
Visa-Free Entry: British passport holders travelling for tourism or business can generally enter Norway (which is part of the Schengen Area, though not the EU) visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period.
ETIAS (Upcoming): Please note that the European Union is introducing the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS). Once implemented, UK citizens will need to apply for this quick electronic authorization online before flying.
Entry regulations can change, so it is highly advisable to confirm all required documentation on the official FCDO travel advice portal before you travel. For short-haul European flights, passengers should arrive at Manchester Airport at least two hours before departure.
Oslo is a uniquely dynamic capital city seamlessly wedged between the blue waters of the Oslofjord and vast expanses of lush green forests. It perfectly blends a rich Viking heritage with a cutting-edge, highly sustainable modern lifestyle.
A trip to Oslo must begin by walking on the sloped, marble roof of the spectacular Oslo Opera House, designed to resemble a glacier rising from the fjord. Explore the fascinating nautical history on the Bygdøy peninsula, home to the Fram Museum (showcasing polar exploration) and the incredible Viking Ship Museum (currently undergoing renovations for a grand reopening). Art lovers must visit the towering Munch Museum (MUNCH) to see The Scream, and wander through Vigeland Park, the world's largest sculpture park created by a single artist. If you love the outdoors, Oslo is unmatched—you can take the Metro directly from the city centre straight into the Nordmarka forest for hiking or skiing in just 20 minutes!

The vast majority of premium and budget flights from Manchester arrive at Oslo Gardermoen Airport (OSL), the primary and largest international airport serving the capital. (Note: Ryanair sometimes operates flights to Sandefjord Airport, Torp (TRF), which is further away).
Gardermoen Airport is located about 47 kilometres (29 miles) north of the city centre. The fastest and most efficient way to travel into the city is via the Flytoget (Airport Express Train), which takes exactly 22 minutes to reach Oslo Central Station. Regional VY trains take about 23 minutes and are a much cheaper alternative.
The best time to visit Oslo is during the summer (June to August) when the city enjoys incredibly long daylight hours and locals flock to the fjord for swimming and boating. December is also highly recommended for a magical, snowy city break and winter sports.
While the most famous dramatic fjords are on the west coast (near Bergen), Oslo sits at the head of the beautiful Oslofjord. You can take the incredibly scenic Bergensbanen train straight from Oslo to the west coast to experience the iconic deep-water fjords like the Nærøyfjord.
