TPG Contributor Mitch Berman recently took his family from New York (JFK) to London Gatwick (LGW) round-trip on Norwegian Air, an airline he’d never flown before. Here’s his review of his JFK-LGW economy flight experience. Visit Mitch and his son Kofi Lee-Berman’s photo blog here. (Photos are by the author unless otherwise noted.)
Norwegian Air is a hot topic in the travel world — we’ve issued more than 15 Deal Alerts for cheap fares on the airline since March 2015, such as this recent $302 round trip from LA to Scandinavia. TPG lauds Norwegian for “shaking up the airline industry” by “driving down fares to locations throughout Europe.”
The second-largest airline in Scandinavia, Norwegian flies to more than 100 destinations, mainly in Europe and North America, but also to Dubai, the Canary Islands and Bangkok (from Oslo). The airline is rapidly expanding, recently adding new routes to the Caribbean and also from new US destinations to Europe. Its entire long-haul fleet is comprised of Boeing 787 Dreamliners, the oldest of which dates only from 2013.
Norwegian turned out to be easily the cheapest way for us to get from New York City (JFK) to London Gatwick (LGW) and back (the return flight included a layover in Oslo) during peak holiday season after all the better rewards options had dried up. This review focuses on our nonstop JFK-LGW flight in economy — TPG actually recently flew this route in reverse, in Norwegian’s Premium cabin.
Booking
We saved about 23% off the dollar price ($268 per person as opposed to $348) by reserving and booking the flight on the Norwegian version of the website and paying in Norwegian Krone. Our reisedokument (travel document) naturally, was in Norwegian, with a bit of English thrown in:
