Imagine being able to customize your entire airline experience – and not have to pay an arm and a leg to do it. Seems surreal? Well, it isn’t. Norwegian, the fastest growing airline in the world, is making customized experiences possible by providing travelers with the ability to fly affordably – whether you want the standard experience or are looking for luxury on a budget. Flying with Norwegian means that you will receive a quality experience onboard the newest and most eco-friendly fleet in the sky at a low fare. But you don’t have to take our word for it.
Passengers love Norwegian, and in 2015, the carrier won more awards than any other low-cost airline. Norwegian won two prestigious Passenger Choice Awards (Best in Region: Europe and Best Inflight Publication, for n Magazine), and for the third year in a row, the carrier was as awarded the distinction of “Best Europe¬an Low-Cost Carrier” by the renowned SKYTRAX World Airline Awards and was also named “Best Long-Haul Low-Cost Carrier.” Additionally, the airline was named Europe’s best low-cost airline by AirlineRatings.com; an award it has won for the past two years.
So, what exactly is it that passengers are raving about? Could it be the new aircraft, with comfortable leather seats and plenty of legroom? Or is it the cheap fares to any of the 440 routes in 38 countries across the airline’s network? As one of the largest airlines at a number of prominent European airports – London Gatwick, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm – U.S. travelers can easily connect to almost anywhere in Europe.
For all of its flights to the United States, Norwegian operates the state-of-the-art Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. All of Norwegian’s Dreamliners feature a Premium cabin with power outlets at each seat, and those passengers who purchase a Premium seat receive lounge access and fast track security at select airports, pre-departure drinks, two meal services during the flight, video/audio-on-demand featuring the latest Hollywood blockbusters and chart-topping hits, as well as a large variety of dedicated children’s program¬ming. For those passengers not traveling in Premium, you can tailor your flight according to your needs, and avoid paying for what you don’t need.
Norwegian’s short-haul fleet is also one of the world’s most modern. The airline almost exclusively uses Boeing 737-800s for flights within in Europe and from the United States to the Caribbean. With more legroom than most of its competitors, Norwegian’s short-haul fleet also features comfortable leather seats, video- and audio-on-demand, access to power outlets and complimentary Wi-Fi.
What’s not to love?
Norwegian continues to grow and expand rapidly. The airline recently quadrupled its long-haul fleet to nearly 40 aircraft when it confirmed an order of 19 additional Dreamliner aircraft from Boeing Look out for the carrier’s continued growth as it makes more new route announcements in the near future and fulfills its mission to make air travel affordable for everyone.
