Search & Book

Given that Norse is a low-cost carrier and these flights are only one-way, there is no minimum stay required to obtain this price. The availability to Berlin is from August to December, while the availability to London is from September to January 2025.

You can find suitable dates using our calendar above or with the help of Google Flights. We recommend booking directly on Norse’s website, but you can find cheaper prices with Momondo, but you will just save around US$10 (~€9). However, booking on OTAs has its downsides.

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.

Bags, Food & Mileage

Norse Atlantic Airlines does not offer a frequent flyer program. Further, the airline is not affiliated with other airlines’ programs. You will earn zero miles in any case.

They are also a low-cost airline, which can come with serious setbacks. While travellers got used to no allowed checked bags and paid seat selection on Transatlantic flights, we are pretty much used to a carry-on bag, an okay meal and a satisfactory pre-landing snack. Unfortunately, Norse offers none of them: as a low-cost airline, you will only be able to bring a small backpack, and you have to pay US$30 (~€28) for a main meal and a whopping US$20 (~€19) for a pre-landing snack.

In true ULCC fashion, the prices can get pretty confusing upon adding extras. It is possible that it would have been cheaper to select the more expensive fare. Here are some of the add-on prices and fares:
