Flying Norse Atlantic Basic Economy Los Angeles to Oslo - How Bad Is It?

Reuben & Rebecca took a trip to Norway and we couldn't resist the very low fare on Norse Atlantic Airways. Come with us as we endure 10 1/2 hours each way in basic economy and find out if it's worth the cheap fare!

Thanks for posting. Just booked London to Orlando and went with economy after watching your video and saved 300 bucks.

THANK YOU! this airline came up as an options for our trip to Paris direct from LAX. Never heard of this airline but looks good!

It’s a great airline! Have traveled with them 4 times. Premium Economy, is the best value for money in the industry. Always on time, great service. Recommended.

Flew Norse Atlantic from JFK Terminal 7 to London Gatwick on Friday November 3rd 2023. Booked my self and son via the web. Bought the add on of lounge access before my flight, not cheap. Delighted to discover that the Terminal 7 airport lounge does NOT accept bookings from Norse and you have to pay $65 at the door to access the lounge. I complained to the gate staff, and they knew about this. So delighted to have been defrauded by Norse Atlantic Airways taking cash from me to book something their staff knew was impossible. From what the airport lounge staff said, this is a regular occurance.

So I'm spreading the love by leaving this comment in as many Norse videos that I can find.

Norse is one of my favorite airlines! The seats are comfortable, the planes are new, the legroom is the same as any other airline (including legacy carriers). The only difference is you don't get a meal, but I'm happy to pay $20 onboard if it means I save $400 (!) compared to other carriers who offer 'free' meals.

Hi, regards to the window dimmer they take a couple of minutes to dim!

Those low fare airlines are for younger people that'sin good shape and deal with the stress, after i reached 55, traveling in economy on anything over 4 hours, was over for me...i do travel 4-6 times a year and 3 of those flights are over 10 hours, so it's Business class for me..I have bad circulation, knee and back problems..and i love comfort...

[neilcharles]

As a cpl on short flights we always book aisle seats across from each other, we can still converse ...any flights over 4 hours, we fly FC/BC...

Being from Oslo I initally considered booking their route from Oslo to Bangkok but they became more exspensive than Emirates.

So thankful I did not fly with them seeing your review.

The more I see and read about Norse the more I'm put off!

I flew Norse from Miami to London, and Oslo back to Miami. The seats were comfortable, and the entertainment was decent. You definitely don’t want the meals. They charge $30 for disgusting microwave meals that were very small, and could likely have been bought in a dollar store. I use to advise using foreign carriers for better food. Not anymore. Bring your own food. Otherwise, not bad for a budget airline.

Found your video interesting. I am doing a solo trip from Paris-LA in July and am thinking of using Norse Atlantic. Personally I don’t mind paying extra for food on the flight. You said you can’t select your seat though? On long haul flights I like to have an aisle seat, but there isn’t an option to choose your seat? Or did I get that wrong?x

Never Again with Norse!!!!
JFK via London Gatwick:
-When you get to the JFK Norse Airways counter they make you fit your bag in a small container and it barely fits because of
your suitcase wheels. Sorry that will cost you $140 now. If you break the wheels of the suitcase then it fits. What a scam they running.
-Each Suitcase costs $140 if you check it in under the plane.
-Carry On is $85
-Charging port is hidden under seat, and the power cuts off every 25 min
-You can't fit a medium size laptop on your folding table, the seat is not stretch out enough, a tablet is preferred. Bad Boeing 787 design.
-They won't even come up to your seat and ask you if you want something to drink
without paying for it first on the seat screen.
-You have to pre-pay for your seats
-They finally gave us water in a cup and tasted like Chlorine, nasty taste.

I love Norse. Premium economy is 100 percent worth it. The food is hit or miss, so bring a sandwich. It’s my #1 choice for a good flight to Europe.

When you porches ticket you pay the seats too any airlines

[JamesKamm-jj]

Booked a flight and then discovered can't fly due to medical problems. No Be careful.

[stphinkle]

I find it it interesting that this flight is NOT actually Los Angeles to Oslo! It is actually Los Angeles (or El Segundo - as the airport is between LA and El Segundo) to Gardermoen, Norway (Oslo Airport is actually in Gardermoen).

«How bad is it»? Weird start. How bad, and expensive, are Delta, United or American?

[s_v____]

Did you have to pay to sit together? Some budget airlines make you pay even during check-in.

Unbelievable, the type of underhanded trick to get no one next to you, the type of passengers I would dread sitting next to.
