Star Alliance member Ethiopian Airlines operates a large number of fifth freedom flights around the world. One of these flights is between the Scandinavian capitals of Oslo and Stockholm, where the airline sells roundtrip tickets for as little as SEK 744 (~€64) with departure from Sweden and NOK 793 (~€67) when starting in Norway.
Not only is this the best price between these airports on many occasions, the fare also includes two checked bags of 23 kg each.
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 14 days. It will forward you to Ethiopian Airlines with your selected flight dates. The airline sells the cheapest tickets on its website.
Oneway tickets in both directions are also remarkably cheap. A trip from Stockholm to Oslo is available for SEK 433 (~€37). Starting from Norway to Sweden, tickets start at NOK 610 (~€52).
Ethiopian Airlines operates these flights with Boeing 787 aircraft.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
