How to Travel from Antwerp to Oslo?
The most practical and often budget-friendly way to travel from Antwerp to Oslo typically involves taking a train to a major airport and then flying. Brussels Airport (BRU) is the closest major international hub with frequent connections to Oslo Airport (OSL).
What are the typical costs for this journey?
The total estimated cost for the journey usually ranges from €40-150, depending heavily on how far in advance you book your flight. A train from Antwerp to Brussels Airport typically costs €10-15 (estimated) and takes about 30-45 minutes. Flights from Brussels to Oslo often range from €30-100 (estimated) with budget airlines if booked in advance, but can be higher during peak seasons or for last-minute bookings.
How far in advance should I book to save money?
Booking flights 6-12 weeks in advance typically yields the best prices for international routes, potentially saving 20-40% compared to booking closer to your travel date. For example, booking a flight two months out can often secure a ticket for around €40-70. Train tickets for the short leg to the airport usually don’t fluctuate significantly.
Are there budget-friendly alternatives to flying?
While theoretically possible, traveling from Antwerp to Oslo solely by bus or train is a very long journey, often exceeding 24-36 hours, and typically involves multiple transfers across several countries (e.g., Germany, Denmark, Sweden). The accumulated cost of multiple train or bus tickets for such a long distance can often be comparable to or even more expensive than a pre-booked flight, with individual bus legs often costing €15-40 each, and train legs €20-80 each, making the overall cost for the entire overland journey potentially €80-150+.
