Cached-fare history: across 4 months, Oct is the cheapest for OSL → MAD. Best time to be there: Apr–Jun · Sep–Oct.
Fares bottom out in October around $140 and peak in December near $257 — a $117 spread across the 4 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 4.5 hours outbound, on a 3-night trip — ticketed under Ryanair UK, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $140 for 2,388 km each way, that works out to about $29 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $41 typical of short-haul fares here. Across the 7 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Madrid, this fare ranks 5th — 43% above the $98 from Vienna. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 14 routes of similar length we watch out of Oslo, where the middle fare is $144.

OSL → MAD, answered.
Is $140 a good price for Oslo to Madrid?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $150 round-trip and this fare is 7% under it, about $10. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Oslo to Madrid?
Across 4 months of cached-fare history, Oct comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Madrid are Apr–Jun · Sep–Oct — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book OSL → Madrid?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 4 months of cached fares, Oct comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Oslo to Madrid?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Ryanair UK. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
