Oslo Airport (OSL) is located 35 kilometers outside Oslo in Gardermoen, Sweden. We review the best airport lounges if you fly in First or Business Class or have a Priority Pass or relevant credit card.
Unfortunately, Oslo Airport does not have a Priority Pass lounge, so you will need to have an alternate membership or be flying in Business or First Class to access one of these Oslo Airport lounges.
If you have not paid for Business Class or First Class, you can access airport lounges for free if you have an unlimited Priority Pass or an Amex Platinum card.
