Norse Atlantic Airways has currently started a flash sale for economy and premium economy tickets from North America and the Caribbean to Europe. Non-stops from the United States to numerous European cities start for as little as US$189 (~€176). Sadly, flights in the opposite direction are at least US$200 (~€186) more expensive, making roundtrips not as attractive. Adding a checked bag comes at the price of at least $60 per direction.
While the oneway economy fares seem decent on the first look ($99 for a Boston to London trip), Norse Atlantic’s absurd baggage fees ($45 for a cabin bag per flight) make them a little unappealing.
You can find the following one-way fares with departure from the United States:
- Boston → London for €176
- New York → Oslo for €223
- New York → London for €234
- Washington D.C. → London for €251
- Miami → Berlin for €272
- Orlando → London for €297
- Los Angeles → London for €297
- San Francisco → London for €297
- Montego Bay (Jamaica) → London for €303
- New York → Berlin for €314
Roundtrips start at US$583 (~€544) for a ride between Boston and London, which is an amazing fare, even with the added $120 for a checked bag both ways.
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to Momondo or Norse’s website with your selected flight dates.
The airline uses ex-Norwegian Boeing 787-9 aircraft on the route, with a 3-3-3 configuration in economy. In premium economy, the seating is 2-3-2 with a pretty good recline. Reviews for the product seems like a mixture of premium economy seating with economy class service.
Included in Norse Atlantic’s premium economy fares are priority boarding, a hot meal after take off, a snack before landing and accompanying beverage service. The most valuable asset might be the cabin bag, given the price Norse usually attaches to it. A checked bag is not included in the fare and has to be purchased separately.
