 Airport express train,
platform 2, Asker by Saagar
At Oslo Gardermoen Airport (OSL), take the Airport Exress train to Asker. Every second departure goes to Asker, the end of the line for the Airport Express. It takes 50 minutes from the airport.
The cost: Oslo-Asker by Airport Express train is 190 NOK if you use a card machine, NOK 200 if paying cash, the regular train options are cheaper, but crowded during rush hours and a dearth of lugage space. Somewhat slower, too, but that's not so much of an argument.
The cheaper option is thus to take the regular through trains to/from the airport on the Larvik/Skien - Lillehammer route. By other trains than these you will need to change at Oslo Central station.
Getting to Asker from Torp airport/Sandefjord is probably best by the Torp-Oslo airport bus - it will stop at Asker bus/railway station if you ask. But you can also hop on the train via the NSB shuttle to Torp Station from the Torp Airport.
Note that there is not an airport bus service from Asker to OSL. The nearest airport bus stop is Bekkestua in Bærum municipality, so if in eastern Asker it makes sense to get on there. Leave a Comment

During all weekends leading up to Christmas, the local buses in Asker and Baerum municipalities are discounted to NOK 10 per adult and NOK 5 per child one way to/from Sandvika (main shopping area) in an effort to limit private car driving and ease road transportation.

You can charter a seaplane and other types of planes, too, to get to or from the Asker area fast. The seaplane harobur is located in the neigbouring municipality of Bærum, at the old Oslo airport Fornebu - Rolvstangen sea plane harbour.
You got to have some pocket money to be able to do this, though... Leave a Comment

 Taxi stand outside Asker
railway station by Saagar
Their service is excellent and they beat Oslo taxi both on service and price. If taking a taxi from the airport to Asker (or even Oslo), Asker & Bærum taxi is cheaper by about 20%.
A taxi from the airport to Asker nevertheless comes to about NOK 900; about 1200 Sundays.. Between three persons and luggage it's still a better deal than the airport express train if you consider the door-to door option.
A VT commentor notified me that their personal handling and English was poor. I have not come across this, but I'd like to mention it. Leave a Comment
