I don't think price has anything to do with SAS not booking your parents on norwegian. They simply do not have any agreements with norwegian so they can't do it even if they wanted too.
I am aware of the EUR300 thing. And as you say, Norwegian is taking advantage of the situation. The price to buy tickets with Norwegian was over NOK8000p/p one way (they will fly from the UK). Original tickets were bought many months in advance at a good price. That means an additional cost on our end of almost NOK7000p/p one way would be needed to get here around the same time. Also, what would happen then is Travellink will make a refund and one then needs to buy new tickets oneself and then also apply for the EUR300p/p from SAS. So we are basically required to fork out around NOK16000 to fund a similar journey and hope that a part of that will be reimbursed by both Travellink and SAS. Well then, you are still stuck with getting flights back, right?
