Welcome to the first review on CZcams of Norse Atlantic Airways!
Norse Atlantic is a brand new airline based in Norway which operates low cost transatlantic flights between Oslo and the US. They're also starting flights soon between London/Berlin and the US. I was fortunate enough to be able to grab a seat on their inaugural flight from Oslo to New York a few days ago and I'm very pleased to present this trip report to you!
Unedited takeoff and landing footage on my other channel: NYC Flyer Plus.
#NorseAtlanticAirways
A few years later we are going to see a brand new startup, named probably "Viking airways", with exactly the same repainted aircrafts and ...exactly the same top management.
Viking air went bust 3 or 4 years ago. They tried competing with wideroe on the Northern Norway short field routes.
@@hepphepps8356 yer, that’s not what he’s saying.
Yup! It’s a joke.
Norse has a few advantages:
Experienced staff and crew (from Norwegian)
Modern wide body aircraft with room for fish in the cargo hold. Flying between hubs, freight is a good way to make the flight more profitable.
Reasonable pricing
And the brand itself is kind of cool, viking ship livery, callsign "Longship".
I really hope they make it!
@@nycflyertravel They have the additional advantage of selling aiport lounge access as an add on service for flights from JFK terminal 7. BUT the airport lounge does not recognise bookings from Norse because they charge $65 at the door for access, Norse Airways staff at the gate know this, so Norse airways is aware of this. So delighted to have purchased lounge access and been conned by Norse.
I was super sad when Norwegian went under. Flew with them at least 2-3 times a year, VERY happy to see this!
Hopefully you can fly with them soon!
Great video which shows what the plane and the flight are like. Excellent review. Thank you!
That food looked like you know what. Presentation is a big part in my book.
I remember seeing this flight on flightradar24 and i was suprised to find out it was a budget, transatlantic airline!
I REALLY enjoyed this video! Great job! :D Looking forward to more!
Thank you very much!
Great, and informative review. I enjoyed it. Will definitely fly Norse, soon.😁
Thanks for the comment!
Very good review, thank you!
Thank you 🙏
Glad to know the new Norse Atlantic Airways and thanks for the flight review.
Thanks for watching
I liked their predecessor so I hope that these guys make it.
Nice video!
Thanks 🙏
I so hope this airline survives and it’s fares remain this low.
I’m in a long distance relationship so travel between the UK & US about 3 times per year. Norse Atlantic’s cheap fares would be a game changer for me! Excited to fly them later this year
As someone who was really n a long distance relationship with someone in the UK (she lives here now), I know where you’re coming from!
Of course we all hope these LCCs will survive on the transatlantic. But sadly so many have failed over the years since Laker Skytrain. Of course nobody can accurately predict the future but with the UK's cost of living crisis, higher inflation and the poor GBP to USD exchange rate Norse faces a tough job.
Update! Booked to fly basic economy LGW-JFK in November ✈️
Great video. Wow. Those inflight meal prices are eye watering!
Thanks, yeah they were really expensive
Yay a new video
I love watching your videos
Thanks!
Great review of both hard and soft product! It does seems really strange that the light bites were more enticing that the mains. I would hope norse improves food quality given the price paid.
It would be interesting in future reviews to detail the price paid all the more price is the differentiating factor when choosing lcc!
Thanks for the travel report!
Thanks for watching
Great video!! We got our tickets for mid-July for $200 round trip JFK to Oslo. Can’t wait to experience Norse and maybe even order that Tomato Mozzarella sandwich.
Great to hear! Have a nice trip.
I am so glad to see an inaugural flight on this channel.
Thanks for watching!
@@nycflyertravel You're welcome.
Thank you for sharing...Fly safe always..
Thanks
@@nycflyertravel You are welcome. Fly safe for the summer
Good review, comprehensive and objective. I am impressed enough to subscribe to your channel. Best wishes for a successful year. 👍
Thanks John!
@@nycflyertravel You are quite welcome. Thanks for being one of a very few CZcamsrs who reply to comments. I appreciate it so much.
Awesome review ! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Arthur!
Nice vid bro. I hope Norse will fly to Asia for the likes of Phuket, Bangkok, Singapore and Bali 😍😍✈️
great I was just looking up their flights look fine I might give them a go soon
Awesome!
We are so excited especially Norway in WINTER when it is dark and cold but natives are SO FRIENDLY!
Great flight report with Norse, I can’t wait for this airline to expand to more destinations. The airline I believe will fly to lax soon one day!
Thanks for watching!
@@nycflyertravel 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🔥🔥🔥
Most likely they’ll end up broke in no time soon like all the other low cost airlines who’ve tried the low cost transatlantic model.
@@cornbisque your right but something in the future could change on the way they make money
This seems like a lovely airline! I’m thinking of going to New York I think I will fly with Norse!
Thanks for watching Jonathan! Hopefully you can fly with them soon.
So glad you reviewed this airline, I was hoping you would!
Thanks Adam!
@@nycflyertravel Is there a video of how you go to Oslo??
@@adammurphy6845 yeah, it’s coming soon 👍🏻
Nice Video, great job. I am seeing you from Chile
Thanks for watching Michael!
A very nice airline,hope they do a barcelona-los angeles route 👍
OMG! $50 for 2 meals. I thought Scoot ranks the most expensive pre-booked meal but Fly Norse exceeded that bar. I’d surely stock up pastry from supermarket prior to the flight 😂
Thanks for the review though 👍🏻
Yeah, the food was definitely expensive. Thanks for watching!
I like this CZcams channel a lot! Thanks for the great content.
Norwegian Air were horrendous, I'll steer clear of this version 2 company too !!
Thanks for watching!
I’m flying out to Norway tonight to move with my family, and I was SO nervous I don’t know why I didn’t think to research the airline earlier. Thank you :)
Have a nice flight!
Great review, thanks! Hope they come to EWR.
Thanks!
If they keep their prices cheap, this may end up being my go-to flight company for trips to Oslo, decently cheaper than SAS, for sure
Funny to see this pop up in my feed when im traveling to NY in 2 weeks with norse😂
Enjoy your flight ✈️
Congrats...
I would really like to see Norse Atlantic succeed.
I like your voice. So soothing ❤❤
I just took the inaugural flight from Ft Lauderdale last week. Check-in was a mess, because of the lack of experience of the 'contractor' check in staff. They didn't communicate well to the passengers, until I insisted they make a status announcement (I worked for another airlines), which calmed everything down.
The flight experience though was very good. I really like the 787, but the seat pitch was too tight for my long legs. Luckily I secured an exit row seat on the way back.
Where was the check in table im trying to find it nothing online
@@ahmedabid8542 I don't quite understand your question. When I checked in for the flight there were people there to assist you. However they were contract company, which means they don't weren't totally familiar with the procedures.
Good job!
Thanks 🙏
Nice Review!
👍🏻
I was there with @andreasaviation and spotted the flight take off 😄
Great Job Friend..nice video
Thanks 🙏
Gracias .
Have me and my wife’s tickets for London with norse in October, just waiting on their November and October schedules to buy our return
Great to hear! Thanks for the comment Jeremy!
Oh boy, those 3 787 at Oslo Gardemoen have been standing there for a really long time now
I’m flying Norse. Oslo to JFK on Thursday. Really looking forward to it.
Enjoy your trip!
@@nycflyertravel thank you. Flying in premium will definitely let you know how it was.
Beautiful Review, thank you ! The prices are ludicrous and the OTT prelanding announcement did not sound genuine ! But loved the review my friend 💙
Thanks for watching! They’re going to start flying from New York to Gatwick soon.
@@nycflyertravel I hope from Manchester too 💙
@@thejetchannel that won’t happen.
I am excited about Norse, but their decision to base most of their flights in Oslo may be the death knell of the airline. I am glad that they are starting transatlantic service to London and Berlin. Those are much better transatlantic hubs than Oslo. I like Oslo as a city, but as an airport, it is rather out in the boondocks. I hope that Norse starts SEA-BER service soon. One of the Longships is named "Mount Rainier" - the only National Park that a Longship is named for that is not near one of the current destinations (assuming you figure the Grand Canyon is sort of near LAX). So I am hoping that means Seattle service is coming soon. I flew Norwegian from Gatwick to Seattle (in Premium, the usual price difference of about $100 was well worth it) a number of times on Norwegian and thoroughly enjoyed the flights.
Thanks for sharing. I'm rooting for Norse as well because the only airlines that fly between Oslo and NYC is SAS.
I hope that they won't go bankrupt like Wow Air.
Also I'm also a bit skeptical about the price that they can easily bump up later.
Anyhow, overall I'm excited that many flight attendants can serve us and Norse!
Yeah, hopefully they can manage to keep their prices down and compete against SAS on this route. Thanks for the comment
Norse is adding transatlantic service from LGW and BER in August. It has established a UK subsidiary.
@@alexmcwhirter6611 Sure. I have huge respect to Richard Branson. But look at how Virgin Airline is doing now. "Established" doesn't necessarily mean anything. Also, even British Airways devalued their miles twice in 2020. Devil's advocate, Norse needs to stay competitive or they can go belly up
@@Aidan_Au It's said that nowadays it is DL who controls the 'purse strings' at VS. Norse will have a tough job. Travel from UK affected by weak GBP to USD (plus the UK has a cost of living crisis right now) and if the Ukraine conflict worsens it might dissuade US travellers from coming to Europe.
The price was never meant to stay at such a discount. That's a teaser price and that's why you grab the flights when you can while it's still in effect. However, they will still stay far below that of regular airlines. To fly from here to Oslo and back of 1500. Even flying to fort Lauderdale on. SW to take the Norse Airways flight only cost me $600 total, between the two carriers.
Nice video!
Thanks Colin!
I took the flight from JFK to Berlin. Ground crew were super friendly. I flew premium economy first row window seat. Not that many in this premium section even though it’s only a couple hundred dollars more. My only complain was the feet extension adjustment. It’s very difficult to adjust.
Thanks for sharing. I’d like to try out their premium section soon.
Good job
Thanks 🙏
Another great video from you! Actually I thought the price of those meals was kind of outrageous. I think they should’ve been more in the $15 range rather than 30 for dinner and 20 for breakfast. Seems like a nice airline for a LCC❤️👍✈️
Thanks for watching! Yeah, it’s definitely expensive to order a meal, definitely better to bring something from home.
Often you may find it cheaper to include it when you book a ticket that includes it
that is how low cost carriers make money.
@@badgerattoadhall not really they make money by their planes being full/overbooked
@@wazup3333 ultra low cost carriers sell their tickets at a loss and make money by, charging for everything; from picking your seat to a meal.
Great to see a start up but they have to get the food right as more and more people are paying a big price for terrible food and they won’t anymore , I wish them well and loved your channel . I wanted to book Norwegian air London to Buenos Aires but sadly that stopped along haul . Good luck
Thanks for watching! Maybe Norse will expand to Buenos Aires one day 🤷🏻♂️
Im hoping to book them in August they are starting to fly from London to JFK then
Awesome!
Thanks
👍🏻
Great video. I will be flying this segment soon in Economy Light. Do they check the size or weight of your bag packs? And do they make you store those bag packs underneath your seat or in overhead cabins?
I did Economy Light too and they didn’t check my backpack. I was able to store it in the overhead bin, but I’m not sure if you’re technically supposed to do that. Enjoy your flight!
Hello, Loved this review. I was wondering if you take recommendations, if you do i siggest flying with royal jordanian.
Thanks for watching and of course I love suggestions! Royal Jordanian is definitely on my list. They fly the 787 to JFK. I’ve been looking for an excuse to take a trip with them.
Thank you for this Review! I am really looking forward to their flights from Berlin to JFK and LAX. The fares are fairly good but the prices for the Extras at Norse are insane, 75 USD for a Seat Even in Premium Class is out of Space 😂
Thanks for watching! Yeah, they do charge a lot for extras, sometimes it’s better just to pack a sandwich and tough it out in a middle seat.
So don’t reserve a seat! They’re close to equal anyway
You don't have to buy a seat, Norse will give you one for free. This is all about flying cheap, and they do! Bring your own food and drinks....
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.
That’s ridiculous, Norse needs to address that immediately
Like the rainbow cabin lighting at the end of the flight. Would you recommend to pre order your meals or buy on board? Which seemed to have the better options?
Probably just bring something from home to be honest, but if you have to buy something from the airline I’d go with buy on board.
Great vlog! I am one of the few people who will not fly them. Not that I have anything against then, no, no. I have worked for SAS. Soon that will not have matered anymore. I have had three back surgeries and my back needs a C or F class seat. Lol!
Thanks for watching! Sorry to hear about your back. Hopefully you feel better soon.
Interesting review.. maybe next time if you're showing your face, it might be nice to see a smile or something 👍😎 I remember hearing about Norwegian.. hopefully they'll get something going 👍
Butter landing
Thanks for sharing this. I keep getting ads for their new London to NY route but once you add on a few basics, they are not that much cheaper than the legacy carriers on the same route. $30 for a very simple meal is slightly excessive. But I like their fresh look and hope they do well. I’ll stick to BA/AA/UA and Virgin Atlantic for now until Norse reduces some of its insane add-on costs.
Not sure what you are talking about...
48- 60% savings on your route
Just checked august one way ticket price average from norse $269-287
Kayak cheapest from any other airline $560-750
Norse carry on=25$ checked back $60-70
Add a seat and food and it's not that competitive I think
@@emergelife why would you? Other airlines charge for seat selection as well. Food, do without it. It's a overnight flight and you barely get anything from all airline meals, get something at the airport
@@wazup3333 yeah, good argument
It was way cheaper for me
I wonder If NAS will deliver transit passengers on their doorstep.
Hi great content can I ask if your going to be doing the Newark/New York to Tenerife route operated by united any time soon ?
That’s a really cool route they just started, but right now it’s not on my list. Thanks for the comment!
@@nycflyertravel no worries yeh it is just wish it was an all year route :(
Thanks for the video. Looks to be a good product and especially for the price. However as someone who flew with Laker Skytrain and Peopleexpress many years ago I do know that there have been so many LCCs since then and *almost* all failed. In fact the longest lasting is Icelandair (via REK) who can trace its history as far back as Loftleidir.
To be fair, Norwegian were doing okay, until the RR debacle, every flight I took with them (does not mean the flight was profitable) was full, the service was good, the IFE was good, the food was either great or BA bad.
@@lvthud Yes lots of service issues when the 787s were out of service. Those who sampled the Wamos 747 flights (Norwegian chartered a 747 from Wamos) have a lot to say !
@@alexmcwhirter6611 It wasn't just a 747, there were also 340's being chartered, no way to cover the costs of wet leases on those with 787 fares.
@@lvthud Indeed. And not forgetting the HiFly A380 which was used to JFK from LGW and, I believe, CDG.
@@alexmcwhirter6611 Oh, I forgot about the 380, but yes, not exactly cheap.
Hey! Great video, what iPhone do you use may I ask? :)
Thanks! I use the iPhone 11 Pro
Great video man. One question do JetBlue airways flies to JFK New York 🇺🇸 from OSL?
No, JB is only doing JFK-LHR for the moment.
How did you get to Norway in the first place, seeing as this flight was outbound?
Maybe you've noticed that United have recently launched a service from EWR to Bergen, Norway, using their 757-200's. This is a good choice for anyone wanting to visit the western parts of Norway which has many of the natural attractions that tourists will want to see.
That’s the subject for another video!
I was actually considering the United flight to Bergen, but decided on something a little different.
I have a suggestion for all the CZcams aviation vloggers and aviation geeks - when you are at the terminal and you spot a different cabin crew (they ALWAYS walk in pack lol) - film them and have the viewers guess which airline they represent based on their uniform.
Some uniforms are so iconic they are obvious (like Emirates, Singapore, Thai) but others can be a challenge to guess.
It’ll be a fun game for the aviation geeks. 😝
I can't wait to fly to LA from Berlin! How did you get to Oslo btw?
I’ll post the video on that in a week or two
Looks pretty decent overall though the price of the meal was very high in my opinion.
Yes I’m going next week to Oslo .
Awesome 👍🏻
Hey I was wondering if they check whether your carry on is paid or not?
I booked through a third party and im unsure whether it’s included or not. I travel tomorrow! Thank you
@@mfamy6902 this depends on your fare. Budget light allows you an under the seat bag only. The dimensions are on their website. All other fares allow you a cabin bag as well ( like a roller bag) that goes up above you. You can also bring an airport bag with food and drinks for free on all fares.
@@mfamy6902 also, I had a great experience flying with them! It’s clean, quiet, the seats are comfy and recline. They allowed us to sleep and the crew was really helpful. I will fly with them again. I chose economy light fare.
Sounds similar to the former WOW airlines. Hope this goes well.
The captain on that flight is a friend of mine 👍
Nice! The entire crew did a great job.
Does anyone know where the check in table is at the Oslo airport? Plz help I can’t find it
I'm flying to OSL in August!
Enjoy your trip 👍🏻
Hey I was wondering if they check whether your carry on is paid or not?

Lovely dinner
tray tabel is just normal! what is large about it?
Good review. Add on's are pricey but you can always pack a sandwich and stick with onboard drinks.
Very true, I’ll probably do that next time. Thanks for the comment!
Flying with them in September
im going to london in this airline in 2 weeks for christmas break and im going w my two sblings im so scared 😭
I’m sure you’ll have a nice flight
Seems like the dispatcher/ground crew issue rather than thr airline issue with the passenger manifest not being correct
wifi connectivity free or for extra charge?
$30 for a not very nice looking piece of chicken, dodgy looking rice and unrecognisable green stuff, then $20 for a tiny cheese thing is pure rip-off. If they don't want to follow Norwegian down the pan they need to get real. Good report showing me another airline to add to my "Don't Fly" list. Nice one!
I want to. But no passport :( Next year!
👍
will they create an iphone app?
Hopefully sometime soon
The rainbow led lighting>>>>>
It’s great!
Awesome video. They seem to be a good airline. I just think the food was too pricey and the quality was not that good.
Thanks for watching! You can get a good deal if you pack light and bring your own food.
There should b a map on distance
How do you find these flight deals?
I just looked on their website for this one.
New Airline?
So $179 + $30 + $20 = WOW ! 😊😊
Thanks for watching
I would not say that Norwgian failed, they was just really unlucky with their Rolls Royce engines, and then came covid. Their fiscal year numbers for 2019 showed green numbers on their long haul operations. So if covid didn't come, i think they would still fly, since all engines also was fixed during covid...
Hello. Please tell me what should I do? I vaccinated against COVID-19 on September 20th in London, but the vaccination certificate will be issued at the end of October. I have a regular paper that confirms that I am vaccinated. I bought tickets from your airline for October 10 to New York, will they let me on the plane without a certificate?
Nice plane but food prices are a little stiff
