Norwegian has been shaking up the transatlantic market with low fares, which is great for consumers, regardless of whether or not you actually fly Norwegian (since other airlines are forced to compete). Today Norwegian announced that they'll be adding flights from London Gatwick to both Denver and Seattle as of later this year. The details…

I find after a certain amount of time for Norwegian from Europe to the US. After the crazy sale to kick off a route, Norwegian normally come out only a tiny bit less than say BA/AA.
And for that reason I stick with BA/AA over the water so to keep my status and earn FF miles.
But I guess if you don't travel very often these are great deals.
This launch worked out perfectly for me. Take the Inaugural from Denver, and then fly back to the states on the TAP J deal.
@James. Even if you don't fly Norwegian, the competition should lower the price of your AA ticket.
Four daily flights from Seattle to London? They are going to destroy the market! I am going to miss seeing my BA 744 as lack of demand inevitably gets them off the route 🙁
Thank you Norwegian for completing screwing me over, ruining my flight home from Dubrovnik, cutting my upcoming vacation short, and causing me to incur a few extra hundred dollars of charges (for additional accommodations for long ass layover you rebooked me for). You're the worst.
Hopefully this gives us Denverites some price relief, the BA flight is usually outrageous. Curious if anyone knows why UA doesn't have a single TATL out of DEN?
Best thing about Norwegian is that the one way cost isn't astronomical like it is with the traditional carriers. Good for us who don't earn enough miles for return transatlantic flights. Norwegian one way, cheap redemption the other way.
@Chim, United has declared that Denver is their most profitable hub, mainly because it is so cheap to connect domestic passengers. United has very little longhaul international service out of Denver to begin with. The high altitude(And operational issues that come with it during the summer), smaller O&D traffic, and lesser cargo demand make it hard to justify TATL flights, especially since most connecting customers can easily connect through another UA hub with a strong TATL network. Consider that as far as European carriers, we only have LH and BA (And Norwegian coming in September). SLC can support the service since Delta really doesn't have a strong connecting hub other than SLC to cover the mountain and pacific timezones (Seattle is growing, but still relatively small). United Has SFO.
