Check-in
When do you need to be at the airport, and where should you check in your luggage?
The time you need to be at the airport varies depending on the airline you are traveling with. The following are the check-in closing times for different airlines:
Domestic:
International:
Charter flights:
We recommend that you arrive at the airport in good time:
If you have checked in in advance and only have hand luggage, you can go directly to the security check. Remember to bring your travel documentation (passport, etc.) and boarding pass or electronic ticket.
There are various restrictions on what you can bring on your journey, both with regard to carry-on luggage and checked in luggage.
Anything that is liquid, spreadable or in gaseous form is considered a liquid.
It is possible to bring smaller amounts of liquids in your carry-on luggage provided that:
Frozen liquids are still considered liquids, the same applies to containers that contain liquid together with other things (e.g. fruit in brine)
In case of missing or damaged baggage please contact your handling agent: Handling agents at HAU
The main rule is that all animals must be stored in their own cages and sent in the cargo compartment.
It is possible to have smaller animals with you through security control and in the cabin, if your carrier permits this.
Different rules may apply for the country to which you are travelling, so please remember to check with your carrier.
The cage must be in accordance to IATA standard.
Delivery of animals can take place earliest 2 hours before departure and latest 45 minutes before departure.
FROM 2 APRIL 2025: Electronic travel authorization ETA for travel to the United Kingdom
England and the rest of the United Kingdom (UK) are introducing an electronic travel authorization (ETA) to travel to the country. This is not a visa, but a permit that all foreigners* (*some exceptions) must have to travel to the country from 2 April 2025.
Three-day processing time
As of 5 March, Norwegians can apply for an ETA. There are some exceptions, but the vast majority of Norwegians and other foreigners need an ETA if they are going to travel to the United Kingdom. British authorities state that the processing time is approx. three working days, but it may take longer. This means that you must apply for it, and have it in order, well in advance of your departure. If this is not the case, you will be refused entry.
Valid for two years
Applying for an ETA costs 10 pounds (GBP) per person, but if it is granted, it is valid for 2 years. This does not replace a visa. Passports and any other necessary travel documents must be valid for the duration of your stay.
Quick and easy to apply
The application process is “quick and easy”. This is done via the UK ETA app, which can be downloaded from the Appstore and Google Play. You must have your passport, payment card and email available when you apply. You may also be asked some questions about your stay that you must answer during the application process.
