Norwegian - differential on US vs France Fares
We're looking at a one way flight this summer returning from Paris to NYC. Cost is about 12% less after converting euros to dollars when entering through the France portal vs. the US. portal. Any problem with a US citizen and resident buying though the France portal?...my credit card doesn't charge any fees on euro transactions.

I bought ARN-LAX flight from the Norwegian site last year, instead of the US site, for a flight that took place a couple of months ago. I want to say it was $30 cheaper than purchasing on the US site, but I don't remember the exact savings. No issue for my flight.

We are talking about First World (relatively) free countries here so there's no problem in contract law or anything like that. The only potential problem comes with Immigration which might demand to see evidence of a return ticket (or departing ticket) if it's not obvious from the APIS information the officer has in front of him.

I have booked several times on Norway site, saving hundreds of dollars. One tip, while booking on the Norway site, follow along with the US site on another device. The web pages are identical so it makes translation very easy. There is one difference between the sites, the Norway site has some extra charges for credit or debit card booking. I think it asks you if you are using a company card and charges more for that. But overall very easy, considerable savings and no problems so far.
