Economy flights are also on sale from Oslo, but the savings here, while sometimes generous, do not really justify a flight out to Oslo to take advantage of them.

But I don’t live in Norway!

A fair riposte for many of you, but at these prices, you will still be saving a fortune by taking a positioning flight to Oslo and flying on from there. Ryanair, easyJet etc can be used to very good effect here.

If you’re after a great value ticket from Europe to the Far East, on a high quality airline, this is a very, very good deal.
