Over 75,000 seats are now available to book on Norwegian’s direct low-cost long-haul flights between the UK and US for travel from November 2016 to March 2017.

Along with a record number of seats, six new weekly flights have also been added to the program, giving consumers extra choice and flexibility when travelling with Norwegian this winter. Norwegian now offers low-cost flights from London Gatwick to eight U.S destinations. Winter routes and additional flights now on sale include:

  • Five weekly flights to Los Angeles – this has been increased with two extra flights now departing on Monday and Friday
  • A year-round weekly service to Orlando – a new winter flight departing on a Saturday means Orlando is now a year-round service
  • Brand-new twice-weekly flights to Las Vegas – Norwegian’s newest low-cost US route begins in late October with flights departing Monday and Thursday
  • Daily flights to New York – Norwegian’s existing daily flights to the Big Apple continue throughout the winter
  • Twice weekly flights to Puerto Rico – Norwegian’s low-cost Caribbean route returns in the Winter season with twice-weekly flights now on sale

All Norwegian flights are priced one way, making a twin centre city break easier and more affordable, with flights from just £149 one way.

Thomas Ramdahl, Chief Commercial Officer for Norwegian, said: “Today Norwegian has made a record 75,000 long-haul seats available to buy on routes to the US for winter 2016 – helping the British public to secure the best possible deals by booking in advance. With eight low-cost routes to the US, Norwegian continues to provide Brits with cheaper transatlantic travel, all while flying passengers in high-quality comfort on the newest Dreamliner aircraft.

“Winter 2016 will be our busiest yet as Brits seek out our affordable flights to popular US destinations. So whether you want to fly to Boston for a city break or head to Los Angeles and road-trip up the coast, the increased number of affordable seats will make it easier than ever before for Brits to take their dream US holiday this winter.”

Norwegian is the only airline to offer UK passengers direct low-cost flights to the US and Caribbean. The airline has one of the youngest fleets in the world and exclusively operates 787 Dreamliner aircraft on all routes to and from America.

Norwegian has also reduced its Premium fares by up to 30% with passengers now able to receive an enhanced travel experience including extra legroom, lounge access and priority boarding from £399 to all US destinations.
