Hi. I am so sorry to hear the crew was unfriendly. I am a flight attendant at Norwegian, gosh, I wish you would have flown with me. Great video and keep up the great work!
I suggest you bring this to your superiors attention. I bet it won’t take them long to figure out the crew.
The crew were rude on our flight too
I usually have great crew. It’s unfortunate
Kevin F hi i wanna be Cabin crew on Norwegian can you give me some tips i am 14 right now.
@@CarlosMartinezz don’t bother
I always fly Norwegian, and I am surprised the crew was unfriendly, I think you were unlucky, I have flown with them many times and my experience have been fantastic.
Coming from Australia, low cost carriers can be very 'low cost' in the whole experience. Last year had the pleasure of flying Norwegian from Barcelona to Tenerife Canary Islands and to be honest never heard of them before. Aircraft, seating, overall comfort fantastic, crew were exceptional and could not be faulted. Can highly recommend and will definitely use them again.
I’ve flown Norwegian a few times and have had very similar experiences to you. Overall they’re a great airline and better than some full service carriers. However, on my last flight from Greece to the UK,the crew were a bit curt / unfriendly / inattentive, whereas before this the crews have always been great. Anyway, keep up the good work. 👍
Man, if someone puts his shoes on the seat, that's utter idiocy, selfishness and disrespect to other travellers. I can understand that flight attendants have zero tolerance for that and they let the passenger know very strictly.
Agreed!
Norwegian is like the Southwest of Europe, While Ryanair is like Spirit
What bout easyjet
easyjet would be between Jetblue and Frontier I guess?
More like Ryanair is Southwest, Norwegian is Alaska and Easyjet is Allegiant
Except EasyJet probably doesn't have to make an emergency landing every week lol
Ryanair was literally based on southwest at the start of the airline..
Great video as always! In my opinion, Norwegian is MY favourite European low cost carrier.
Keep up the good work, I cannot wait for the conclusion and EasyJet videos.
:)
Hey Daniel... Love your work. Its definitely hard to stay unbiased in your reviews. I appreciate that I can travel with you on different airlines around the world, sampling what they have to offer, in the various classes you review. Cheers and keep up the good work.
Tony
What I like about your videos is that you are always positive and upbeat, even if the service isn’t the best. Bravo!
I flew from Edinburgh to Providence a couple weeks ago and it was the best flight ever. I was flying on the 737-800. I can't say enough good things about the flight. First of all it was an overnight flight and the cabin lights were so relaxing so people could sleep. The wifi was pretty fast and the meal was amazing. It was seriously better than my meal on Emirates which is amazing for a budget airline. It was a smooth flight and Norwegian is now my favourite airline.
Wouldn't Wizz fit better as a competitor against Ryanair and Easyjet?
Do Dodakowski true. Norwegian is budget, but doesn’t act like it.
Norwegian is really cool!
I agree!
I usually like your stuff. But what a skewed review. Norwegians Wifi is a joke. Cannot do anything with it. Really only send text emails. Any attachments do not work. TH-cam does not work at all, neither does NetFlix. Food for pay ok. No water is free. Any water at all. Also this airline is really late all the time...
John Rosenbaum well, WiFi on planes are not supposed to be used for streaming, the only streaming is thru their apps.
Indeed.
i agree cuz i live there xD
I am a Swedish 14 Yearold and I’ve been flying with Norwegian basically my whole life and I love the airline.
I don’t travel near enough anymore but I did fly Norwegian to Ireland last year and had a great experience. I look forward to flying with them again. Food was yummy too!
I’m really sorry to hear you had a bad experience with crew!! We are usually very nice and super friendly!!
Note that Norwegian is not only a European carrier. It serves also Stewart International Airport in the New York City area, with two daily flights from there to Dublin.
I flew with Norwegian last December, GOT-BCN. Super nice and the free wifi was super cool, definitely flying with them again if I have the opportunity. Greetings from Mexico, I love your videos!
Omg the coolest part of this is that you’re from Mexico, but went to Gothenburg!! Did you enjoy it?😃
Im from Norway and i love Norwegian airline.
Sorry to hear your experience with Norwegian was not as expected. Most Norwegian crew are not like this, I hope that you will choose Norwegian again and have a better experience next time! Nice video!
This is the best place to come on the internet for excellent flight reviews!!’
Yay thanks so much Joseph!!
I love your videos! I am 17, almost 18, and I come from Norway but I live in Kansas City, Missouri at the moment. You are such an inspiration to me!! I really like your flight reviews and i adore that you love aviation that much. I have been watching your videos for about a year now and you always make great content, and your personality is awesome. Planes have really fascinated me since i was really young and I'm planning on becoming a pilot or air traffic controller or something that has to do with planes when I'm older. After watching your videos I have booked a flight on Alaska Air and on Norwegian, I cannot wait! I usually have an average of 16 flights a year, so i was wondering how many flights you fly on an average and how you can afford that at such a young age? And also, can you do a review of Qantas A380? I'm flying with them this upcoming December and I have heard great things!
Okay enough rambling, love you and your videos!
I have never been on Norwegian Airlines nor ever been to Europe, but the boarding music is the best I've heard on an airline so far besides Virgin America or Alaska.
Norwegian isn't the best low-cost airline. It is the best airline in the whole world.
One time i flew with norwegian and i wanted to connect to the wifi but i had a few problems with my phone then the flight attendants helped me. The flight attendants was always smiling and the seats were very comfortable. The overhead ife has amazing graphics. Norwegian has on order 30 airbus a321's and i am excited to fly on board one of them. That is why Norwegian is my favourite airline
I agree. Also one of the safest airlines in the world. Never had any accidents so i always feel safe while traveling with norwegian
Very nice flight review of Norwegian, and your storytelling is quite good. Nice to see someone else have noticed the same pros and cons of this airline, like myself. Great video! =)
I am a former flight attendant and hope that you took advantage of that fast wifi to send an email to Norwegian about the negative experience on that 2nd flight. the one thing that bothers me about Norwegian, is they are registered in Ireland to avoid Norway's labor laws. I think that's terrible. not sure how they are allowed to get away with that.
I flew with them to Berlin, and they were amazing! I was surprised, because I’ve never flown with a low cost carrier before. I like them!
My flight was delayed and they brought out a replacement aircraft for our flight. Horrible plane with no sky interior, no WiFi, old seats. But the crew made up for it. I will always remember the captain saying “ you’re going to have to have a good old fashioned chit chat on this flight as we don’t have any wifi”
Wow you always seem so positive and happy in every video , keep it up man ! Greetings from Boston USA!
The personnel interaction and wide range of airlines sets you way apart from all the other aviation TH-camrs. Almost at 100k well done :)))))
Great video as always Dan! Regarding flight attendants,out of my personal experience working as a flight attendant too,i think in GENERAL male flight attendants are more polite and professional than female flight attendants are...
As usual great review! The economy week concept is just amazing to compare the legacy and LCC's across US and Europe. Could you also do something similar in Asia?
I'm going in Norwegian airlines in 10th august and from Gatwick to Greece skiathos
I LOVE your economy week vids. Keep up the great work ;). Btw I would love for you to do an economy week series in Australia, maybe between TigerAir, Jetstar and Virgin Australia:)
Norwegian is not bad at all. Even I as an Star Alliance customer (SAS) like them from time to time. The bonus program is great (planning a free Boston trip in autumn - thanks for that^^). I did the 5 hour flight with DY from OSL to RAK and had no problem to build my own entertainment system (tablet, power bank, Bose headset and Netflix download), and water I could fill at the airport after security. Food you can take with you. Had in fact a great time and good staff (even SAS has some moody people). Good legroom even for me as a big guy. Only two flight to free luggage... Thanks for interesting reports! Tack så mycket! ;-)
Whoa... Free Wi-FI! I will have to try Norwegian from Helsinki to Oslo.
Sir, sir no shoes on the seat. No shoes on the seat! I think she was a bit choco loco on that flight😂
I think Norwegian are in my opinion, the best low cost carrier in Europe. They offer a great service and value and with the free wifi, they soar above the competition. Sad to see such an impressive product being contaminated by unprofessional, rude and offensive could not care less cabin crew, as on your second flight. Loved the report Dan, thanks.
Hey Dan, really nice vid. Could u make another Economy week, with “premium” EU carriers fks. (SAS, Lufthansa, air France) or something?
Dude awesome video! Your next economy should be the other three American low-cost carriers, ex: Spirit, Frontier, Allegiant
I completely agree Alaska JetBlue and Southwest are low cost but Allegiant,Frontier,and Spirit are ultra low cost like Ryan Air and Easyjet
Most pointless Top tens agreed.
@@samuelingram1242 expensive Ultralowcostcarriers.
Ryanair at least is cheap.
And Spirit is too expensive
Love it! A budget airline in Europe that is survivable!
You can still select / change your seat (without a fee) if you use the self check-in kiosk just in case you end up with a seat that you don't like (when you do mobile check-in beforehand).
I usually fly from Gothenburg and connect in Stockholm to fly their new B787 to Miami. It’s really good
Would be really interesting to see the comparison of Norwegian and Eurowings. Eurowings is getting wifi onboard and entertainment system from your phone. And since Eurowings is part of the Lufthansa group, I assume they have a better loyalty program. Anyway, great work man!
That landing wasn’t butter but was definitely better then Ryanair
Congratulations on 100K Daniel 😉
Im just so happy to have this airline in my country :)
i've been following u for a while Dan, but this is my first comment... lol. From the reviews i've seen here on TH-cam, i must say. U and Sam Chui are the greatest. i really appreciate the loads of work u put in your reviews. Always a pleasure to watch. Happy flying Dan! :)
So glad - thank you for the kind words Morten!
I flew on Norwegian many times and never got bad service, maybe we went on Norwegian on a bad day.
Not only as a passenger, I worked for the company and I had to left my job for personal and geographical reasons and... I promise you that I feel impatient to come back ASAP
Norwegian are an excellent airline, they grow so much in recent years and are having a great impact on the aviation industry. They also offer wi-if onbaord!Compared to Ryanair and Easyjet they are much better.
Why was the coffee cup not completely full? Because it's a hot drink, and if there is a sudden little movenent like turbulence you might get some hot coffee on you. So, was not full for your safety, the safety of the attendant taking it to your seat, and the passengers around. Also the company protects itself from being sued by a passenger if an airline's worker burns him with a hot drink
I wish Norwegian would operate more routes out of Manchester (my home airport)... I think they’d do really well, but I see why they choose to go from Gatwick - Thomas Cook and Virgin Atlantic already operate to Norwegian's long haul destinations, but some more routes to Rome and Barcelona would be great!
I had a good experience with Shannon for a round trip between SWF and SNN however there was no wifi. Thank goodness I downloaded entertainment.
Hey Daniel! I missed you🤗
Do you think that Norwegian will loose some market with easyJet expanding into Scandinavia from Berlin
You said JetBlue, Alaska & Southwest are LCC. Southwest sort of is but Alaska is a legacy carrier and so is JetBlue to some degree. The true LCC in the US are Frontier, Spirit & Allegiant and then its comparable to Europe.
You should try the transatlantic Norwegian to PVD or BDL out of Edinburgh on the 737 max 8.
Congratulations on 100k subscribers! Keep rolling them out!👏👍👌🎉🎊😎
Cheap airlines are wunderful for young people and tourists.
But for people who are constantly travelling (especially for working) the problem is that cheap airlines are often not supporting the expensive airports (inside london for example) on a regulary basis.
Congrats Dan on 100K subscribers!
Thanks so much!
Great review. Also have 80D, great camera for your reviews!! Keep up the good work!!
Thank you for the video. An interesting review, as always.
Congrats on 100K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!! :D
Hoping to see you onboard a flight in Scandinavia soon! Great review as always.
Always enjoy your reviews, the quality of the video, your soundtrack, and the comments. High compliments on describing all the things that interest an avgeek and travel nerd like me ;-). I look forward to every upload and enjoy them all. Interesting and entertaining, as well as valuable for travelers who haven't flown with the airlines that you review. I wonder: Is it accurate to classify AS as a budget carrier? Except for QX Dash-8-Q400 flights, AS offers a competitive F service (unlike WN and all of the European LCCs and ULCCs). Not only that, AS has rolled out a pretty successful Premium Economy, which is a really great bargain. Don't you think those products - along with the very same Y cabin service that you can find on all the US mainline carriers (complimentary bevs and snacks, menu of à la carte snacks and cold meals for a decent price) ranks AS as a full-service carrier? I sure do. And after the merger with VX is complete, AS's network will also cover a good deal of the territory covered by the likes of AA, DL, UA, and WN (and exceeding the reach of B6). In my book, EZ and FR are ULCCs; WN is an LCC. AS doesn't belong to either class in terms of its level of service, even though its fares definitely compete with those of LCCs and ULCCs, whose products are definitely inferior. Now that you've given us a sampling of DY's offerings, I'd guess that it ranks somewhere between LCC and ULCC. Just a few thoughts to share - THANKS for all your work! Hope you keep it up!
I did enjoy the mood lighting! We flew from LA directly to Oslo.
Congrats 100k Well done
To be fair I think that the FA who told the guy to get his shoes off the seat was correct, if somebody has to told not to put their shoes on a seat then he deserves a blunt warning.
It seems to me that some people have zero concern for others, so I'm glad the guy got a bollocking.
Hey Dan , I love your video as the are very detailed and different. But i have one problem..... Lower your mic's sensitivity pls XD
Wayyyyy nicer then Ryanair! Great video! I loved it!
There is another great European budget airline it’s called Transavia it’s my favorite you should definitely try it out!
In the opening scene you looked more scared than excited!!!😅
I tried norwegian and it had better premium class than lufthansa
Something to consider, since the US is so big compared to many European countries, the cost to travel is often much cheaper to travel in Europe. In the US, flights are so expensive for even economy class. Southwest is the only US airline that sells tickets solely on their own website. It’s one of two US airlines I know of that does not charge for baggage.
I flew from London to Boston without any problem. However when I flew from NYC to Paris I was really surprised by the fact that nobody was speaking French. This was ok for me but for some non english speakers, that was surprising !
I flew Norwegian befor it was cool
Great Video. In America, our Low Cost airlines are popular. The Ultra - Low Cost airlines are the ones you want to stay away from. Allegiant, Frontier, and Spirit are much more in line with Ryanair, Easyjet, and Norwegian.
When I flew Norwegian to Tenerife, the Wi-Fi was so Crappy for some reason
kacperkrakowski RBLX i kinda managed a facetime call using it 😂
Congratulations for 100k subscribers
YAY thank you!
Good video but for that guy put shoes on the seat, well, I think it was necessary that crew gave him a lesson.
Thanks again Dan! Really like your hair too!!
I think WizzAir is the best Europian low-cost airline!
But Norwegian is an excellent airline!
Mirkó Nagy i mean you’re obviously hungarian but WizzAir idk. Never tried them. Might be true
i would say norwegian is better but norwegian prices compared to easyjet,ryanair and wizzair are worse... so if your comparing the ultra budget airlines then wizzair is defintly the best but if your addidng the not so ultra budget norwegian then norwegian is better
Five flights for the day! Rumor has it you only took two flights the next day, including one from Europe to SFO!
I'm not sure if was Nonstop Dan or Josh Cahill, but he also occupied a full 3 seats in economy class to make a bed. So the rule of not occupying any seat not for you should be strictly enforced to every individual including TH-camrs, AvGeeks and frequent flyers.
Budapest is my favourite airport :DD
You need to try Jet2. Get a seat in the front of a 757 and enjoy the RB211 roar. The best flight I ever had was with them, crews are fantastic.
I think the wifi makes this the best low cost carrier on earth
Most low cost carriers do not have customer service so greeting isnt a priority.... Ryan Air is the airline you DONT want to travel on. Safety record isnt exactly the best either...... I mean the flight attendants have to pay to get trained.
That's the first time I've heard a poor crew report for Norwegian! Shame.
Yve Rose If spanish crew - they should learn some manners - sometimes rude ...
I wont be flying norwegian in case i get the bad spanish crew.
Wow! I love that the Wi-fi is free! Seems like Norwegian have a great product 😆 It’s unfortunate to hear you had a bad experience with some of their flight attendants but I’m sure it doesn’t represent what all of their flight attendants are like. Great review Dan ✌️👍😊
Norwegian is the best low cost, but you have to try Vueling is very good
Jordi Bravo you know he hates Vueling?
if u have chance, try to do another Ultra Low Cost airlines in the USA. ( Frontier, Spirit, Allegiant)..
Is the WiFi unlimited?
Norwegian is actually not considered to be low-cost airline because they have pretty good airplanes but its actually complicated
Looks like Alaska air interior. Seats appear to be the same basic design, especially at 1:48.
What about aer lingus
5:45
Yes flight attendants on Norwegian Airlines are rude and inpatient
I travelled with my family from Stockholm to Bergen last summer 2017.
The flight attendant yelled on my 16 years old son just because he was sleeping and couldn’t respond to his instructions.
I filed a complain to the captain but they didn’t bother to respond. Maybe they’re still sleeping too
that is really weird, I have never come across rude carbine personal when flying Norwegian.
Osama Salman people from norway think they are the best. I’m from norway😉
Great video as always!
Thanks for always watching my friend :)
Why the hell was the crew so un Nice. Ive flown norwegian and the crew is always nice to us. I think norwegian is the best low cost airline in the world. If you fly from norway, that will be way better. I want to see you fly from Stavanger to Stockholm or London. Its really Nice. You can also fly from Stockholm to stavanger or Oslo. It depends on what you want. Greetings from Norway, your neighbour country and home to norwegian. Bevis på at jeg er norsk lol.
I love Norwegian
