    ______________________________________________________________________________________________
    Low cost carriers have completely changed the way the airline industry operates. By leveraging innovative practices, they drive down operating costs and pass the savings off to their customers, making air travel accessible to all. Today, there are nearly 100 low-cost carriers operating globally, many of which have demonstrated the ability to achieve and sustain profitability.
    However, something you’ll notice is that almost all low cost carriers are localized - their operations are primarily short haul routes. A successful blueprint to long-haul, low cost air travel has remained elusive - many airlines who’ve tried it have failed miserably. And yet, one airline has recently had a breakthrough, developing a business model that can buck the trend. But, due to extenuating circumstances, it may never get the chance to really prove it. And, it might just be the world’s unluckiest airline. Let me explain…

      Oh yes! That updated Tahiti Nui livery is the bomb. Kudos to its designers. And who doesn’t love flying aboard a turquoise and blue Dreamliner! Knockout visual design update! I flew its old A340 with the similar but flatter old livery and the airline is a fine conveyance with the island vibe. Inside it’s bright with colorful pillows and Gaugin tropical prints on the bulkhead walls. Thanks for mentioning it, Coby. And if you’re flying out of LAX, its Fifth Freedom route onward to Paris is quite economical. But I went the other way from Papeete onward to Auckland. Left on a Saturday morning at 7, flew 4 hours and landed on Sunday morning around noon. Them Tahitian jets is real fast!! Cheers, lads!

      They will also try to sell more stuff to passengers during the flight. As profits are quite low without that income.

    prior to Covid, I'd fly Norwegian from Los Angeles to Europe exclusively. You really get a bang for your buck. The crew was often more professional than that of other budget carriers servicing the US. The 787 was by far the most comfortable planes I've ridden on. With excellent seats and the humidity controlled cabin, the 13+hr flights left me relaxed and pain free. I recall flying on A380's to London from Los Angeles, and from Los Angeles to South Korea. Those often left me with back pains and throbbing headaches from dry cabin pressure. Over the years, I realized the savings on my base fare was so great that I could afford the Premier seats. Norwegian's Premier Seats was more like Business Class on other major carriers. They offered one free alcoholic drink, fine dining, recliner-leather seats with elevated foot rests, and complementary headphones. It was amazing and made the flights to Europe all the more pleasant. So sad to see it go.

      I've seen more airplanes in the last few months than any year before, but my situation is a bit unusual. I live at about 2 km distance from a military airbase, so it's mostly F-16 traffic with the occasional new F-35. And when the F-35s were being delivered there was a fair bit of C-130 Hercules traffic going around, a few of them actually passing straight over my house at low altitude.
      Normally I'd miss a lot of that while at the office but due to working from home I had a good view on both landing and departures for one of their runways. On clear sky days in the past normally it'd be pretty rare not to see one more high up sets of contrails, these days you actually have to look for it and even then I typically only see one set of them.

    As a Norwegian, for domestic flights we basically have two options, Norwegian or SAS. Norwegian is 9 out of 10 times the cheapest option for domestic flights. I like flying SAS as well, but they are consistently way too expensive. When I say expensive, I mean often 50 % more expensive than Norwegian. Even though you have to pay extra for luggage with Norwegian, they are still cheaper.
    However, some international flights are expensive with Norwegian as well. Especially south Euorpe, like Nice and Barcelona.
    Flying long-haul (I have only flown to New York a couple of times with the Dreamliner), it's as good as flying any other airliner. However, due to Norwegian being such a young airline company, their fleet is generally newer and more updated. Also, SAS basically haven't opted for inflight Wifi, where as Norwegian has this as for free as standard.

  • @KorsvollRossow
    @KorsvollRossow 3 ปีที่แล้ว +63

    The conclusion of why Norwegian “failed” is drawn way to quickly in this video. There should have been done more background research on its operating cost and especially the cost of Norwegians expansion. The fact is that Norwegian Long-haul only made a profit on a few selected routes such as LGW-JFK and LGW-LAX, most of the other routes were making huge loses. This caused Norwegian to shut down all of the long-haul routes from Denmark and Sweden, as well as many other routes (London - Singapore is one example). Some of the points made in the video are also wrong, Norwegian didn’t for the most part, rebook on other airlines or cancel flights, but wet-leased other planes and slowed down the expansion when the problems with the 787 arose. Another factor not taken into account is the huge cost of expansion Norwegian has had, and the huge number of routes that failed in different markets. Everyone knows that expanding into new markets is costly and Norwegian rushed into too many new markets simultaneously. Its operations in Argentina was a massive failure, the “short” long-haul routes with 737s to secondary airports in the US from Scotland, Ireland and Norway was a failure, and many of the crew bases in Spain had to be shut down due to losses and to rapid expansion. However, it is no secret that the problems with the 787s and 737-MAX planes increased the operating costs and affected the profits negatively. But the conclusion and narrative of this video are too one-sided failing to take into account other factors such as the too rapid expansion into too many markets at the same time. The numbers on this expansion are objectively showed to have a huge negative impact on the profits both in the annual report from Norwegian but also the traffic numbers provided by different airports. The fact that only a few of the long-haul routes were profitable also contradicts the narrative of Norwegian as a successful long-haul airline.

    Last August, I flew on one of their Boeing 737 Max 8 jets back in August 2019, after landing a $99 fare from Providence, Rhode Island to Dublin, Ireland.
    The airplane was very clean and very modern looking, but also very empty. I think that probably only one-third of the seats were filled, which meant that people were able to take turns laying down. The accommodation was very bare bones, and meals, checked bags, blankets, and other novelties costed money, which is definitely to be expected in booking a two digit fare across the Atlantic. The seats were also hard as a rock, as they were basically just plastic slabs covered by leather.
    On a positive the folks at the front desk were pretty lenient with their carry-on baggage policy, and all of my interactions with the flight attendants/staff were positive, so I can't say I had any issues with that, and considering how affordable the fare was, I'm definitely not complaining.

I preferred it to the Virgin 747 Gatwick to Vegas and Air Canada 777 and it's return flight Toronto/Heathrow (can't remember if it was a 340 or 330. The 350 wasn't out yet). Most airliners are the same to me so the fact Norwegian stand out, means I like it. Better than Virgin, about as good as BA but I've only gone short haul with British.

The product itself is just a seat, you do have to pay for absolutely everything else but you can purchase snacks on the IFE screens, you just swipe your debit/credit card under the IFE screen, tap the snack bar and order all kinds and they bring it to your seat, I'd also say that the snack bar is reasonably priced. I loved my long haul experiences with Norwegian, and it is very sad that I may not have the chance to fly with them again.

    I flew with Norwegian from London Gatwick to Boston Logan and back just on one occasion in 2017 in a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. No complaints whatsoever. I'm sad to learn of all these issues facing the company.

    I’ve flown on Norwegian at summer of 2018, CDG-JFK. It was the best flight experience I’ve had in my years of traveling. I never encountered paying for entertainment. When I was planning my trip, I didn’t wait for a representative on the phone, they answered right away and fulfilled my requests at no charge. Sad to see them struggling during these times...I enjoyed flying with them..

    My experience of Norwegian airlines is that they are 1st class, I fly with them from Edinburgh to Stewart International in New York
    About 3 times a year, for about £250 return Sadly they have stopped flying from Edinburgh.
    Good luck to them.

    Norwegian Air Shuttle is the Best! I love it, and many people do as well. They are indeed the future of air travel. I think everybody should buy and hold their stock now, before it skyrockets. After Covid, Norwegian is going to thrive.

    I’ve used Norwegian on eight long-haul flights and four short haul flights in Europe. I’ve never gone in coach, so I can’t comment on that part but I’ve had friends who have and they loved it. The premium part of the plane is minimal compared to other business class or first class on traditional airlines, but the seats are the main reason I choose that cabin. In most cases I would be sleeping so I don’t really care much about the food and drinking part anyway. I love the clean filtered air, the touch sensitive windows, the high ceilings, and the short flights. San Francisco to Copenhagen in a little over 10 hours, is pretty amazing.
