How Norwegian Air Upended Travel With Its Cheap Flights

Some details:

- They fly out of Oakland airport, OAK, not San Francisco Airport.

- They don't fly non-stop to Oslo, apparently. Itineraries to Oslo from OAK connect in London, Gatwick.

- OAK<->LGW September 18th - 24th indeed $499

- OAK<->LGW July 3rd - 10th $1,189. So you'll still want to buy tickets well in advance.

There is a non-stop flight, Norwegian Air Shuttle 7064. You can look at its flight path here: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/NAX7064

The flight leaving tomorrow was $340 one way when I checked now. Round-trip, I was able to find a non-stop OAK--OSL ticket for $510 (similar September dates to yours).

Or you can fly to ARN then OSL, which can be quicker.

There used to be OAK <-> OSL non-stop until last October but I guess there is not enough people to keep it sustainable.

OAK <-> LGW on Norwegian during October was ~$650, which is about the same as Virgin Atlantic.

Some of the fare prices to Europe are very cheap, but not always.
