The author in a black shirt on the Norse plane.
I enjoy flying on Norse Atlantic Airways and find its seat as good as mainline competitors.
  • Norse Atlantic Airways began its budget flights between Europe and the US in 2022.
  • Historically, the strategy has failed, but I'm happy there's another low-cost transatlantic option.
  • I think Norse offers a better value than mainline carriers if you follow its strict bag rules.

In 2022, a new startup airline called Norse Atlantic Airways launched cheap flights between Europe and the US, operating Boeing 787 Dreamliners equipped only with economy and premium economy seats.
