Flying from Houston to Oslo: what you need to know
Start your travel planning by considering where you'll take off for your flight from Houston to Oslo. George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) are the main airports in Houston.
Step off your plane in Oslo at Oslo Airport Gardermoen (OSL) or Torp Sandefjord Airport (TRF).
Oslo's timezone is UTC+1, making Oslo six hours ahead of Houston.
For a relaxed travel experience, arrive at the airport two hours ahead of international flights and an hour before domestic departures. This will give you enough time to board your Houston to Oslo flight.

Arriving two hours before domestic flights and four hours ahead of an international departure is a smart move.
