This all started because Norse Atlantic Airways published introductory rates between JFK and OSLO for ~$200 to celebrate the new airline. This is a our review of the airliner including a walkthrough of check in, boarding, Boeing 787 Dreamliner seats and even their bathroom

Lovely video
And thank you for your lovely comment Loredana Stringfellow :)
@@KhizEesa I'am absolutely dying to go to the US, I live in Norway but my fear of flying is crippling me but love to watch these videos...especially the most recent ones as opposed to old videos! Turbulence is my worse 😨 fear, otherwise if smooth I'am ok..I was especially curious with norse fly especially as it's a new airline 😊
Great question and your fear is not unusual. Based on our experience and my parents who flew Norse to Oslo last week, I can say that the team operating Norse is well trained and professional. They equipment used (Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner is a great aircrafts). All that said, our experience was almost near perfect. Wishing you the best as you plan your exciting trip.
I like the fact that you guys acknowledge almost every feedback and watching this video is really going to be helpful as we are hoping to fly Norse on the JFK/ Oslo route soon . Keep up the good work
My family will be flying International with Norse for the first time. Greatly appreciated this video. Thank you
Wishing you safe and happy travels. We haven’t flown Norse in a while so let us know how it goes. We loved our experience since we paid $200 to fly NY to Oslo roundtrip which is incredible and the planes were nice (old Norwegian Airlines)
Norwegian is still around. They just left the long-haul market. The Dreamliners that is used by Norse is the same that was used by Norwegian on similar routes prior to them leaving that market in aviation
Thank you for that insight and watching our video :)
I am so happy to run across your channel. I plan to fly to London and it will be my first time traveling overseas that’s not a cruise. I kept debating but I think I’m going to give these guys a chance. Thank you!
Hi Misty, thank you for the comment and best of luck planning your trip. Just a quick update on Norse Airways, they are cutting back on winter routes as a new airline so keep checking. You can read more here onemileatatime.com/news/norse-atlantic-cancels-flights/
Hey! Im thinking of flying Norse to London soon, any tips or anything i should know before doing so? Id really appreciate it! :D
@@ne5sy I did end up flying with them back in February and it was really good. Now being it was my first time flying over seas I have nothing to compare it buy I will definitely fly with them again. The flight attendants were super friendly, the ride was smooth (weather was good) but I think these those pilots could have handled turbulence well. It was spacious and good movie selections. ❤️
Thank you! This was so helpful for our upcoming Norse trip to Europe!
Thank you for your feedback Lauren (@lauranglover521). Glad this was helpful. Have a great flight and come back to let us know your experience on Norse Airways.
For you Americans POSH is important: Port Out Starboard Home. Going US to Europe You might see Canada, Grenland and Island. I learnd this on the Inagural Norse flight OSLO-Fort Lauderdalen sat on the left, saw nothing but ocean for the last 8-1/2 Hour, until 10 minutes before whe where on the ground.
We just took a KLM flight back from Amsterdam to JFK (video coming soon) was was our all time favorite Economy seat and the views over Halifax Canada were incredible
Flying Norse in March thanks for the video. Actually going to be on Norse because of Norwegian air stopping service to the USA. Luckily I’m able to use some of the points from my canceled flights to get us to our true destination the UK.
Hi, thank you for your comment and wishing you a great flight on Norse. We love hearing other travel stories so do come back and let us know if you enjoyed your flight on Norse
Thanks for the very informative video! Did they give you pillows and blankets for the night?
Glad you found it informative. And no, when we flew with Norse, they didn’t provide pillows or blankets. Not sure if that has changed recently
@@KhizEesa thank you !
I’m late to the party on this video! I’m about to fly with the same airline and it looks so comfy I can’t wait. I watch a lot of air travel blogs and you guys are by far the most happy!
We wish you safe and fun travels. And thank you for your comment. You are the first to say that and we LOVE it!!! Come back and let us know how your Norse Airways experience was
Flying with them from London to NY in two weeks. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for your feedback, glad it was helpful. Wishing you safe travels and hope you enjoy Norse as we did.
@@KhizEesa Wow! Wasn’t expecting such a quick response. Thank you and I just subscribed to the channel. Looking forward to great content. 👍🏾
@@euniquewatson3577 Howa was you trip with Norse?
Found a one way to Berlin $208 with a carry! I could manage 2 weeks in Europe with a carry on. May do a light check bag though.
Which level did you pick? Was it just backpacks for luggage? Did you pre select your seats?
The cheapest possible. We only traveled with personal items (backpacks), no seat selection and no meals.
What a video!! So fun to watch!! I just discovered Norse and so I maybe will take a flight! Great video and lovely family!
Thank you Isaiah. Thank you!!! We highly recommend Norse while they are new and trying their best to build their reputation!
@@KhizEesa sounds good!! I see a few flights to Germany and Norway that is VERY tempting to take haha
Our parents just flew back from Oslo two days ago and shared our review of Norse Airways. Had a great flight, and loved their $10 cheese sandwich they purchased mid flight. Happy planning
@@KhizEesa thanks so much!! That’s also good to know because on the website they only have the $30 and $20 meal options haha but I suppose they’re full meals rather than just a sandwich lol but anyway! Glad they enjoyed themselves! Also what editing software and things do you use for your TH-cam channel? It’s looks amazing and you should have WAY more subscribers! I’m trying to build my channel myself and this is good inspiration haha but yes it looks great on your end!! Hope the family stays well and stays traveling! That’s one thing I love to do is travel and so I get to now binge watch your channel and get caught up haha
Thanks again for your comments and questions. The TH-cam journey is fun and we are enjoying the small community of like minded travelers we are building. For editing, we use InShot and PowerDirector, music by Epidemic Sounds, and thumbnails using Polish. We shoot and edit all videos using iPhone 13 Pro Max and a DJI Action Cam 2 for time lapses. Hope this was helpful! We will be sure to check out your videos as well.
Fun video. Flying this weekend from JFK also. Doing the the under seat and paid the $25 for overhead carry-on. First, do the measure the carry-ons. US bags are bigger the European but its a US made plane so I know they fit. Second. Prepay food was $30. You showed $10 pizza. Seems I should buy on board. Did you experience the same?
Thanks for the feedback. We only did underseat bags. We didn't see any bag measuring stand at gate entry or at ticketing counter (back in late July). As for personal item, I have a Bellroy travel bag (18x14x8) and was worried since Norse website says 17x14x8 but went through just fine. I can also say that we didnt see any checks for carryon size for other passengers when we were in the line both at JFK and OSL. Lastly for food, we noticed some people not finishing their Norse meals, I recommend bringing your own sandwich or meal. The inflight menu looks good in picture but they may not have all those options all the time. Hope this helps and wishing you safe and happy travels
I just flew Norse la to london and back- very uncomfortable seats so just go prepared with pillows and stuff.
Hi Juliana, thank you for sharing your experience on here. Good note for others to keep in mind. We have been trying to find some deals on Norse to London, your trip sounds exciting
Thanks for the video, I am booking a fall trip from New York to London for September and I’m going to give Norse a try!
@bobbiefrederick1448 Thank you for your comment and best of luck with your Fall flight to London on Norse. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did
Your video is very helpful as I just booked Norse JFK to Paris. I know you said there was a tech error and you coyldnt check in online but they tried to charge you. Did you have to show a print out if that error or what did you say? Also, how early did you get to the airport if you werent checked in online? Thanks in advance!
Thank you for your kind comment. Glad you found it helpful. I reached out to Norse customer service through Facebook or their website and it sent me a confirmation that my issue was noted. I printed that note from Norse help desk which I showed them. On the way back, I was able to check in and get my boarding pass using their website. When we were in Oslo, we were told that Norse Ticket counter opens 2 hours prior to flight so thankfully we were able to check in and go to gates with out boarding pass. Last year when we flew Norse, they ticket counters at JFK opened more than 3 hours in advance of the flight but not sure about now. Unlike big airlines who always have some counters open, since Norse of small, their counters open right before flight
Thanks again for your help in finding an affordable flight home from either Stockholm or Oslo.
You are most welcome 🙏 and Happy Travels
Did your pay extra for seats? they put your together or separate?
We didn’t pay extra for our seats. At check in, we were assigned seats together.
@@KhizEesathank you ! Hope they’ll do the same way for three of us
How was the check in about the bag packs? I see they allow 17/14/8 inches, so only wanted to know how picky they can be about the measures, thanks a lot and great video
Hi @juliancampos8558, when we took Norse Atlantic in July 2022, they were not strict about the bag measurements as long as they are in the range listed on their website. Knowing the risk, we stayed within the 17/14/8 inches measurements but we didn’t see them measuring or stopping people. Not sure if anything has changed since then but our recommendation will be to stay within the 17/14/8 inches to avoid any hassle or stress. Safe and happy travels!
I am flying into JFK with another airline to go on an international Norse flight. Do you know if I would have to go through tsa again at JFK to get to the Norse counter for tickets? Not sure if you are familiar with JFK, I have never been. Thank you
Yes, Norse counter for tickets is outside the secure area so you would need to go thru TSA again. Best would be if you can get your boarding pass using the Norse website to avoid another security check
Great video! Thank you for sharing. I am flying Norse too? Did you have to pay extra for backpacks? It says I am only allowed under the seat item.
Thank you @qasinow3119. You can take one backpack which they consider your personal item as long as it meets the size. The four of us traveled only with free (included backpacks) for our 3 day trip to Oslo. You can read more about it here www.flynorse.com/en-US/support/baggage
@@KhizEesa Amazing! great video bud! thanks for the guidance :)
Hope you had a nice trip to Norway. This summer we are traveling with Norse to New York, our first time in America, ever… 😁
Hi @MonicElie Thank you for sharing and yes, we absolutely loved our trip to Norway. Can’t wait to go back there cause it’s a beautiful country and people. Wishing you a safe and fun trip to New York and do come back and let us know how you liked Norse and New York. Safe Travels
Thank you for sharing this experience!
And thank you for watching! And feedback.
Great video! Thinking of flying LA to Berlin on Norse, a little worried about a red eye on a budget airline. Did the seats recline?
Hi Daniella, that sure is a long journey. Yes the seats recline and were very comfortable. I just booked my parents on the same 11:55pm red-eye flight to Oslo next weekend. As long as there are no delays, the flight experience itself is like any other major airline (or even better cause they have nicer Boeing 787 Dreamliner). Thank you for your comment and have a safe trip!
@@KhizEesa Thank you so much for the info! I will comment back in a few months with my experience :)
Note that Norse is suspending this route effective mid-October. It's facing a real challenge on the transatlantic because of economic circumstances.
Thank you for the video. Will book based on your review
Thank you for your comment. Please let us know how it goes and safe travels
I ran across Norse while looking on skiplagged (No, I'm not going to use the site to book lol) and it seemed a little too good to be true. Looks like a nice plane. The #1 question...would you fly with them again?
Hi @DTNSU, great question. Soon after we returned from our weekend in Oslo, I booked my parents for an October trip. Similar to our experience, they said the plane was nice, staff was attentive and the cheese sandwich we both purchased in-flight was great. In short a big YES for Norse. We are looking at some itineraries with Norse as I write.
Planning to fly Norse later this year from London to LA, would you say the seats are comfortable for long haul flights
Thank you for your comment. For us the seats were very comfortable since the plane we sat in was an older Norwegian airlines Dreamliner. Same seats with a lot of cushion. We were expecting some new budget airline seats but were surprised how comfortable they were. Hope this helps
Hello. I was wondering if they check your personal item bag for the exact measurements that they require online?
When we took this flight, they didn’t check the exact measurement. But in recent days, I have read others mentioning that their bags were checked so our recommendation is to be safe than pay carryon fees at boarding. Better safe than sorry. Hope this helps
@@KhizEesa helps a lot thank you
Hi quick question for the underseat baggage does that mean like a duffel bag,backpack also how much would it be to get 1 checked bag at the airport ?
Thank you for your question. Since airline can. Change these requirements, you can find the latest here flynorse.com/en-US/support/baggage
For us, we only took free personal items and those were fair sized bag packs for us (Small underseat bag / personal item 45 x 36 x 22 cm / 17 x 14 x 8 in (no weight restriction) included in all fares). Hope this is helpful
Norwegian did not go bankrupt, they still are as big as they was but they sold their 787 fleet to Norse.
Thank you for the tip. We traveled a lot using Norwegian Airlines from New York to Barcelona and Rome so we just assumed they were no more when they pulled out of US. It was such a treat to see it in Oslo Airport.
@@KhizEesa Yeah, they are only in Europe right now I think.
@@kayy4114 yeah they are
Norwegian now operates within Europe only, while inter-continental flights were taken over by Norse. Norse was founded and staffef by people from Norwegian and the planes are the same Dreamliners too. Now while SAS is struggling Norway has four succesful airlines, the survivers Widerøe and Norwegian and the newcomers Norse and Flyr. This is a remarkable achievement compared to our neighbours.
@@KhizEesa That's the general idea in US, thinking Norwegian went bankrupt just because they stopped flying there! lol Norwegian started its operations back than in 2002 with short haul fleet and in 2012/13, long haul flights began! Actually this month marks the 20th Anniversary of the airline! Oslo is the home of Norwegian and currently the company is fully operating across Norway, Scandinavia and Europe from different bases and some planning to be reopened soon.
How is the recline situation? Since Norse considered low cost airline, I'm afraid they would barely have any recline (like spirit)? I googled everywhere but there is no info on it. For example economy in Ita airways says 5" recline which is extremely small for a long flight over Atlantic. How was your experience? Anybody can elaborate on recline in cheap economy on Norse?
Great question. Based on our experience, the seats are similar to Norwegian airline when they flew this route. Some said that these are mostly the same planes. The 787 Dreamliners that Boeing uses are comfortable and the recline is better than budget airline (not as much as the new 787-10 Dreamliner that KLM is flying between US and Amsterdam, that experience was incredible). In short the seats were comfortable enough for a long haul. Safe travels. th-cam.com/video/5dIcIWnrvTE/w-d-xo.html
What kind of camera was it on your shirt?
Hi @JaysWorldTravels, That is a DJI Action 2 using the magnetic lanyard that it comes with.
@@KhizEesa Thanks, I'll check it out.
Si I’m trying to travel the lax London route what do you recommend me to do ?
There are definitely cheaper flights from NY to London since major airlines like United and virgin have dropped their fares to compete with Norse and others. How much is your flight and do you have any airline preference
How were the seat? Is like frontier, hard uncomfortable?
Hi, the economy seats are very comfortable with a lot of cushion. Nothing like Frontier or Spirit. Our parents flew on Norse recently and had similar feedback. Hope this helps
@@KhizEesa yes thank you
They are very comfortable.
And we 100% agree. Thank you for sharing your experience
Hi ! Do they mesure your personal item bags?
When we took the flight there were no measurement bins. (July 2023)
good video! i take this flight next month
Thank you for your comment and please let us know how your Norse Airways experience was. Safe travels
So im trying to buy tickets from Paris to JFK on norse. Im getting the economy classic that includes a checkedbag & carry on. When checking out it says if i want to add “bag drop” ? do you know what bag drop is?
Hi @kayiegramajo6089 I am not sure as we didn’t use bag drop on our flight but you can check out here help.flynorse.com/articles/at-the-airport/checked-bags-to-check-in-at-oslo-airport/62e528068fe70020b0ae1402
You drop your bag off at a check in area without assistance. Usually a machine
Great video! Did you pay for seat selection? I don't really care where I seat but would rather not have my family be separated. Do you know if Norse will assign seats together if available or do they separate you on purpose to force you to pay for seat selection?
We never pay for seat selection. Typically as soon as check-in opens for any flight, we are the first ones to check in and we always have gotten seats together (Delta, United, American, Spirit, Hawaiian, Frontier, Norse, Tap Portugal, KLM etc etc.) for this flight, there was technical issue and we were unable to check in online. At the airport, without asking they have all four of us seats together. This happened on both outbound and inbound flights. Hope this helps
And THANK YOU for your feedback. We are happy you liked the video
@@KhizEesa Thank you! We'll take our chances then.
Wishing you all the best
When flying Norse please select your seats during your booking! Norse does not force seat pay. If planning to book in an exit row. Be advised children under 12 are not eligible for emergency exit row seats! Hope to see you soon!🩵
you are so lucky, I tried to visit Norway last year but they deported me because I didn´t have an European QR. (only a vaccination card from USA)
Thank you for your note and sorry to hear they didn't let you come in. Yes we were very fortunate to visit Norway and Sweden over a 3-day weekend and loved both.
Great video, thanks for sharing
Thank you Gus! Glad you enjoyed it. We always appreciate the feedback.
Apparently Norse has moved to Terminal 7 as of Nov 2023.
Thank you for that update.
I am thinking about taking the X2000 train from Stockholm to Oslo.
That is a great idea
Is NORSE the new international airline for Norway? I'm Soo behind on info
Norse Airlines is new (founded 2021) and small but the only one serving Europe and North America ever since Norwegian Airlines withdrew from American market.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airlines_of_Norway
Also is their a mobile app? I try to find it and I could not
Not that we are aware of. We checked in online and took printouts just in case we need them
Norse might sound like a great concept and the low prices are appealing, however, at a closer look things are not that great as they nickel and dime you to death! The prices are low primarily so they show up first on a Google travel search for, example. But, after you add the junk fees for carry-on ($45), checked language ($60), seats ($45), and meals ($30) I end up with just about the same price as all the other major airlines where at least I know what I'm getting and are there are no surprises. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for sharing you experience as well. Knowing some of this, we decided to a oid fhd extra costs by doing a single bag person Al item trip and no seat selection since ours was a weekend trip to Norway and Sweden. And we brought our own sandwiched or bought the $8 cheese sandwich on our return flight. Safe travels and thank you for your insightful comment.
@@KhizEesa Thank you for sharing your experience!
Wow he sounds like Ross from Friends
Nice good to know
Awww cute kids! ❤❤
Thank you for your comment Wayne and THANK YOU for subscribing !!! Welcome to Khiz & Eesa
Did they not ask for vaccination proof?
Hi 3731 Degrees, no, they didn’t ask for any vaccination proof both at JFK (flying to Oslo) or coming back at OSL (flying to New York)
Where the hell you live? Covid ended years agooo….🤣
Were there premium economy seats?
Yes, they do have Premium Economy Seats. You can read all about them here simpleflying.com/norse-atlantic-boeing-787-premium-review/
flying with kids with this airline. I hope it wil be ok :)
Wishing you safe travels. Hopefully you scored a good deal with them
@@KhizEesa berlin -nyc round trip 300 usd
Hello! What were the meal options?
Thank you for your question. When making your reservation, it provides you with two options ($30 for main meal and $20 for Pre-landing snack). I noticed that the main meal was a chicken sandwich of sorts. We didn’t try the Pre booked meals to save money but they have hot food options to purchase while in the air. You can check the menu here www.flynorse.com/menus and I highly recommend trying the $10 Hot Cheese and Tomato sandwich.
@@KhizEesa Thank you so much for your help!
Anytime. Fun fact, my parents took the flight this weekend NYC to OSL and they tried the cheese sandwich as well and LOVED IT!!! Happy planning and safe travels
@@KhizEesa I purchased Cheese sandwiches and drinks on the NYC to Oslo flight last
month , both ways . They were very good both times .👍
Food included ?
Great question. We chose not to include food but ended up purchasing a sandwich mid flight. By doing this we saved $200 for our flight. You have the option to save money by not paying for meals
How much a baggage fees?
You can find Norse Atlantic Airways Baggage fees using this link flynorse.com/en-US/support/optional-fees
How is this airline?
This is a budger transatlantic airline and we paid $220 roundtrip from New York City to Oslo. With that in mind Norse Airways exceeded our expectations. The airplane are Boeing 787 Dreamliners with comfortable seats, the staff is friendly, foor for extra $ based on oir ticket was delicious and as long as the airline does well, we will be taking it again. We would recommend to check news on Norse before booking your travel.
@@KhizEesa Thank you!
Never heard that airline.
Interesting budget airline for Europe running some good deals between US and Europe
did they ask for a vaccine?
Nope, no questions about vaccines
Was told to stay a million miles away from Norse
Any new budget airline have their cons especially since they can’t offer a replacement flight in case anything happens. We and two other family members who used Norse had a great time especially for $200 roundtrip between NY and Oslo
@@KhizEesa$200? That’s like BYOP special(bring your own pilot) 🧑✈️ . That’s incredible
will u adopt me if I get the paperwork ready 😭😭😭
Are you Indian?
Hi Christopher. We are a Pakistani American family. Thanks for your comment :)
boeing 787 aircraft
Yes, that is correct. Boeing 787 (Dreamliner)
am i the only one upset he made his kid sit by himself …
It is interesting, sometimes kids love having his own Aisle seat especially on a 3-3-3 config planes. And sometimes not. In this flight particularly the couple next to him told us how amazed they were at his good behavior throughout the flight. And then we ran into that same couple in Oslo and they told us the same again. We were next to him across the aisle. Sorry this upset you
It’s flyr that went bankrupt
Thank you for sharing
cheap cant complain
We agree! That is a good way to look at it. But not if you pay more than $400 roundtrip.
how long are you?
Hi m Ferdela, we assune you meant to ask "How long was the flight?". If yes, then it was a 7.5 hours flight from NYC to Oslo.
@@KhizEesa hi sorry i meant how tall are you? haha I already bought my flight ticket to NY, can i take food with me? like a normal meal in tupperware beacuse i will arrive too late and i will go direct to my airbnb.
Sure, we are both 5' 8". As for taking meals, as long as fhey are not "liquidy", you shoild be ok. A while back, airport security asked us to throw away hummus as it was considered "liquid". Safe travels :)
@@KhizEesa thank you!!
8:00 - Norwegian exist. You are misleading with long haul flights of Norwegian (which is now Norse basically)
Yes we (and some folks in the United States) had no idea that Norwegian was still an active airline until that moment when we saw it in Oslo. Since then ofcourse we have read about the discontinuation of the transatlantic route and their presence in Europe. Thank you for commenting
