Flying Norse Atlantic next week LGW-MIA and have booked again on same route in a couple of months
Choosing "Premium Light" as travelling on business and only for a few days so can manage with the 10kg carry on limit. Also likely to not bother with seat assignments as with 43" minimum seat pitch am not really worried which seat I get. All in all, under $1200 rt for Premium on LGW-MIA, that is unbeatable compared to the major carriers.
Oh, and when I used them (Norwegian) before, I also loved the option of booking one way tickets, then I would often use miles to book one way on a legacy carrier to enable a long haul triangle trip (as we know, one way TATL tickets on legacy carriers are crazy pricey).
If anything to add to the review above, will do so when I get back
So, my October round trip was great. On the jetway on the way back listened to people in front and behind me complaining about various things to do with Norse and none of them had actually flown them before. I noted to them that they were getting probably the best Premium Economy seat in the sky, in the nose of the aircraft (as no business class), on a newer aircraft than the US or UK legacy carriers, and that I'd found the crew wonderful on my outbound. When we boarded, turned out some of the same crew members from my outbound were dead-heading to LGW, one recognised me and offered to help me get a better seat (no need), to which I replied "so thoughtful, but you are off duty, relax
"... the crew mostly worked for Norwegian and are SO happy to be back working on Norse post-covid
Am flying the some route (LGW-MIA) tomorrow, but as travelling with someone and for several weeks am not going Premium Light plus chose seats, so flights a bit pricier, but still far less than any other carrier in Premium Economy.
Oh, if going from MIA, do remember they fly out of F.... so don't go through security unit you have to as there is nothing in that terminal. At least Norse now works with TSA Pre and F also now has a Pre line
