AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
OSL has no inter-terminal train or bus — all connections are made on foot via moving walkways within one continuous terminal complex. Passengers connecting between Schengen and non-Schengen flights pass through passport control and sometimes a secondary security check, while Schengen-to-Schengen transfers usually require no re-screening at all.
