A Budget Flight Review: The Pros and Cons of Flying Norse Atlantic Airways for a Long Red-Eye Journey

For my most recent trip, I opted for an eight-hour red-eye flight on a new airline called Norse Atlantic Airways. Despite never having heard of the airline before, I decided to give it a try.

I chose the economy light ticket, which included a seat and space for a personal item, for a total of $88. Additionally, I paid $75 to select a window seat ahead of time and a $20 fee for airport check-in, bringing my total cost to $183.

Norse Atlantic Airways is a budget airline that launched in 2022, offering nonstop flights from the US to destinations in Germany, Norway, the UK, France, and Italy.
