Oslo’s airports are 49–117 km from Stortorvet
A ticket names the city, not the airport. Which of the 2 it means is the difference between Gardermoen, 49 km out, and Torp at 117 km — 2.4× the distance, on the ground, in your own time.

What the measurements show
Every airport serving Oslo is at least 49 km from Stortorvet
There is no short transfer to choose here. The decision this page is about is not a near airport against a far one — it is 49 km against 117 km, and a ground leg of some length is part of arriving either way. That makes the transfer a fixed cost of reaching Oslo rather than something the cheaper ticket adds, so it belongs in the total before two fares are compared at all.
- GardermoenOSL49 km · 28 min
- TorpTRF117 km · 1h 46m
The drive from Torp takes 1h 34m
Driving time on the shortest route with clear roads, which is a floor and not a typical journey. At that length the transfer has stopped being an arrival procedure and become a second leg of the trip:
- TorpTRF1h 34m · 1h 46m by transit
The published run to Gardermoen beats the car by 9 min
Measured against a drive on empty roads, which is the most generous version of the car. The gap in ordinary traffic is wider than this:

Price the whole journey, not the flight into Oslo
This page measures distances that do not change. Prices and departure times change hourly, so they are not here — Pathioo fetches those live, adds the journey to and from the airport at both ends, and gives you one total from address to address.
Where these numbers come from
Every kilometre is a Google Directions API response, measured on 2026-09-16 from Stortorvet to the terminal — to the airport's own address, not to a point on a map. Those are two different things and they can differ by a factor of two.
We measure the shortest route at four in the morning, because a road chosen around traffic describes the traffic and not the distance: asked of Gatwick and central London it returned 83 km at rush hour and 45 km overnight. That is why driving times are given as "clear roads" — a floor, not a promise.
Transit is the fastest published run with no departure time attached, and where two runs finish within five minutes of each other the one with fewer changes is the one shown. Every leg is measured into the airport, never back: a timetable is not symmetric, and the direction with a deadline is the one worth printing.
You will not find a ticket price, a departure time or an airline here. Those live shorter than this page does, and appear only in the search itself, straight from the airline's API.
