Norse Atlantic Airways, flew its inaugural flight from Oslo to New York on June 14, 2022 and since then has expanded to offer nonstop flights from Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York, Orlando and Miami to Europe. The Norwegian low-cost, long-haul airline has a fleet of 15 Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft taking passengers to six destinations in Europe along with Cape Town International Airport (direct from LGW) and Bangkok Airport (direct from Oslo).

Passengers can choose from a simple range of fares, Light, Classic and Flextra, that reflect the way that they want to travel, and which options are important to them. Light fares represent Norse’s value option while Flextra fares include the maximum baggage allowance, two meal services, an enhanced airport and onboard experience and increased ticket flexibility.
