There's something very humble about them and the cabin crew were so good on this flight. Still surprised that they fed and entertained me for that price!

@@richardstreet7518 it's one of those things I felt I had to mention. I would hate for someone to book it based on my review and then suddenly they pull the plug. Was sad enough flying on the last day of operations for FlyBe. If you are planning to go soon then it might be worth a gamble otherwise perhaps consider it later in the year. Thanks for watching either way 👍
Yes, I have been hear good things about this airline. That seat looked really nice to have especially with no one behind you!!!😊 Well, the food a little low cost on that breakfast! That is ok!! Yes, getting breakfast later is something that I have done coming into Heathrow a few times. Well, I have never flown into this airport so, I would have to look into getting from this airport into central downtown London.😊
@@liftoffandtravel I would try them from JFK to London. Gatwick Airport would be new for me. I would have to see how I would get back into the London downtown centrally district!
I flew Premium Economy with Norse on way back to USA October 2023, that is the most comfortable airplane seat I have ever sat in (Premium Class), Super roomy…super comfy…great flight experience hands down
@@dee6556 glad to hear you enjoyed it! Totally agree could be the best Premium Economy in the sky. So much space and as you said comfortable. Food 🍲 could do with a bit of work though 😉
We flew Norse Premium Economy from Miami to London. My experience, I would not do again. Departure terminal in Miami was some long forgotten about annex, w/ limited food & beverage options. Yes, the seat reclined about 45° w/ extra legroom, but the seat itself was incredibly stiff and horrifically uncomfortable. The in flight food was inedible. We returned from Europe on TAP Portugal, coach, Les leg room, but far more comfortable, better food and better service.
I can certainly relate food wise as my stomach wasn't great after. It wasn't sadly warm 🍲😭 I'm not familiar with Miami but the terminal in JFK is bare basic. There were some food shops but you can walk it in 4 minutes. Hopefully you got a good fare price
Norse is a sensational airline. Brand new plane, comfortable seat, IFE, a meal, and yet somehow 30% the price of a regular carrier. There's no way to justify spending 70% more on a traditional carrier when the product is identical.
Totally agree. For the price and product they offer something amazing. If they didn't exist I'd have paid double for the same product. I really hope they are here for the long term! ✈️
Nice review of Norse premium, I did predecessor Norwegian (in standard class) from London to New York in November 2019 as I wanted cheap flights as I was staying at the TWA Hotel. It was my last long haul trip until November 2023 some 4 years later!
Thank you 👍 yes the last row reclines. The amount of space is incredible. I was also surprised because the smell of breakfast woke me up and the lights were not off 😂🍳 had a surprisingly good sleep.
Really good video - smooth background music, hit every point, keep em coming. Next Sam chui / non stop dan / trek trendy on the way! I’m a bit of a BA snob (not perfect by any means) but I really might try this as a return, premium to Las Vegas is 900 quid return, that’s an absolute steal and I can live without a lounge as no doubt sleep is easier with that recline!
Thank you Jamie 👍 we were all over BA until I started getting bored of the trip down to London. Not easy from the West Midlands. Will be back onboard American yes year and may be the A380 once it gets refitted 💺 Agreed Norse in Premium was about the same as BA/ AAs economy 😳
Always amazed that we gladly consume whatever is put in front of us (free food!) when in normal life I seldom eat anything before midday, making do with the best coffee I can get. If you arrive somewhere the next morning you have plenty of time to find a good breakfast at the destination. Anyway, nice video, I enjoyed it.
Yes the first bite said it all. As I mentioned in the video the terminal is poor and what is there is expensive. Otherwise a very good product and flight.
Thanks for this review! I'm currently searching for a Prem Eco flight from Europe to MIA. And as those seats seem to be the same as AirEuropa has (but they only fly with BusinessClass to MIA) worth give NORSE a try as well. Thanks!
@@BenZRH it is one of the best sleeps I've ever had on a plane! Woke up with the lights on. And yes the value is pretty good. Let us know what you decide 👍
Were the seats set in a slight recline? I would pass if these were the same as when it was Norwegian. I know most folks would not give it a second thought, but I hate sitting in even the slightest recline; it kills my back. As usual, it is a good video with a pleasant, clear voice.
@@mikiewifnoe360 cheers really appreciate the feedback as always thank you for supporting us. This was a cracking flight. Only slightly more than economy on well known characters and one of very few occasions I've woken up confosued with the lights on. The sign of a good sleep. Come for the leg room don't stay for the food 😂🍲
@@ricardosam8050 we had a look ourselves. You got us curious. £323 including a checked bag, meal and general boarding is a tasty price. British Airways is over £1000 one way 👀😱 or £480 or so return at least in January
Very ,very nice product !! Especially their premium economy class is !! I just can't believe we have an option like this these days !! Sorry to hear some flight attendant was rude to you like that ! A very nice review ! 👍👍😍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💞
It's a good question. It's difficult to say as I was lucky enough to have no one next to me. I can't stress this is probably the most generous seat pitch wise for leg room so if you out the seat back in the upright position I would guess there is plenty of room to step over another passenger depending on their position and how long your legs are. If they have the TV out this does slightly reduce the space available and also if the seat in front is reclined. Let us know how you get on. We'd be curious to know ourselves 👍
@@liftoffandtravel thanks so much that's what I meant I just wanted to make sure it has the same recline as all the other seats or if should move up to 7j instead.
@@LillyMcNealWhite no problem. I have to say it's very generous. One of the best sleeps I've ever had in a non Business Class seat. I woke up with the lights on full 😂💺 probably helped that there was no one next to me as well.
Thanks for sharing very helpful. Do u know how the check in works if you dont have a check in bag and how long it takes? I have a Premium Economy Ticket . Can I carry a personal item, a carry bag and a shopping bag? Any idea?
Here's the link for their website. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be straight forward and depends on what fare your have. Premium has three different types. It appears that light does not include a bag. If you manage your booking online it will probably tell you the allowance and allow you to purchase extra bags if required.
@@papi8659 we 💙 the seats on BA but yes there is so much space! I can't say this enough but this is one of very few times I woke up from my sleep with the lights on full... Confused is an understatement. My point is highly recommended as a way to fly ✈️💙
Norse works best for the traveler who wants to travel internationally on short notice. If you have a long time to plan (like many vacation travelers who would fit this model) then you can get premium economy once you add in luggage and seat fares which are not included in the base price within $150 of premium economy on Norse. I like the concept and the airline, but I am not sure this works for the long term (Norwegian Air base). At the end of the second quarter Norse lost $35 million. For the first half of 2023 they have lost $105 million. They have $59.1 million of cash on hand and expect to make a small profit in the third quarter, the strongest of the year. Not sure if they make it until next year as they raised only $14 million in an offering in the last quarter.
That's a great point about short notice. Interestingly whilst in Budapest I checked the flight for the next day back home and was surprised to see it was still £52 ($70) The hotel was full so would have expected the price to be jacked up high. I really hope they continue to fly because they are a sound airline ✈️
I’ve seen Norse’s ad several times on TH-cam,somewhat appealing to me.definitely worth a try 😮
There's something very humble about them and the cabin crew were so good on this flight.

Would you go econony or Premium?
Economy

Thank you 👍 it has so much shame. That's OK the flight attendants were lovely. It was the member of ground staff that was rude!
On the 2 seat configuration, can I pass from the window seat without bothering the other passenger?

Does row 8 recline as much as the other rows? It looks like it does, but I've been trying to find confirmation. Thanks!
No problem, yes it fully reclines 👍 💺
How much was the upgrade at the counter vs online?
The online upgrade was about £250. I suspect based on another view that the price could be lower on the day.
However this may not be correct
