I recently tried Norwegian Air Long Haul from London to Fort Lauderdale and enjoyed my experience. Right now they're having a Thanksgiving special, where all long haul flights are 20% off and short haul flights are 30% off. The airline is rapidly expanding their transatlantic network, as well as their intra-European operations. Not many low…

Share your questions, experiences, and thoughts below.
Didnt you recently go to Spain on Norwegian'a dime? To promote Norwegian Rewards? In which case, this should be labeled as an ad.
I haven't been paid a dollar to post this and wouldn't have done so if I didn't believe Norwegian Reward offered some great values 🙂
Thank you Daniel, interesting article. I've yet to use Norwegian but am considering trying the Premium ticket. I didn't even know they had a loyalty programme.
Daniel,
You missed the point. If you received any benefit from Norwiegn then you should disclose that. So if you received a free trip that should be disclosed. A blogger who received anything of value should disclose that fact in any review of the company that comped him or her.
+1 to marty and Cecile. Even a free flight they invited you on needs to be mentioned. Very disappointing for a site that prides itself on being unbiased
@cecille who cares really. Most of us are here for the info. Well done Daniel as it's great to receive info on deals not originating in Crazy Land. I mean the US.
Don't be such a wet rag Cecille. Me thinks you have a bout of the tall poppy syndrome.

received 12% Cashpoints on my stay. That’s essentially 12% cash back
Actually is a 1.2% cash back!
Exactly. The trip reviews here are equally interesting to anyone. But all those CC deals being pushed here that are only available to americans, should at the very least have a qualifyer 'americans only'. The world, and I suspect the audience of this blog as well, is not limited to the USA.
Refreshing article on a subject few other bloggers would bother writing about.
I think we can forgive this teenager his failure to disclose that the article was basically a paid advertisement. And we can feel a little sorry for him for condition of his math skills after having graduated from the (often self-)vaunted European education system (although my "Crazy Land-"educated brain can calculate $0.12*12% and get something besides 12%...).
What's harder to understand, perhaps, is that this well-run organization was willing to risk its reputation and credibility by failing to have an editorial-review cycle prior to publishing. That's surprising.
In any case, Daniel, don't get defensive - take the criticism, learn from it and keep going. You have a bright future.
@Jon As our great and fabulous Miriam Margoyles mentioned on Graham Norton's show
"I don't dislike Americans Graham, I just want them to learn things". Bloody classic I say. Go Miriam!
@Jon. You are wrong on the 12%. So your "crazy-land education" brain is apparantly still unable to calculate correctly.
Their program give % cashpounts. In this case 12%. Given in Norwegian krones. If 10NOK=$1 (for easy calc), and you buy for $100, you get 0,12% of 1000NOK. 120 cashpoints, and equal to 120NOK, or $12, from your $100 buy.
No matter what currency you use, you get points equal to the percentage of the amount you spent.
Omg, y'all are Krazy! And it is Krazy Land ad I live here and trust me, with Trump running the show, Krazy is a perfect word.
Great article, Daniel. I'm always looking for adventacious travel reward programs. I'll have to look into this a bit more as we live in Boston and will be trying to travel to Europe as much as possible.
I booked tickets on Norwegian air using my Chase Ink card (USA), they were categorized as miscellaneous, presumably not giving me the travel extra points . Has anyone else seen this?
The program is great and I do more than 30 trips across the Atlantic every year, BUT the system doesn’t work and when I was supposed to get my new reward of free luggage, their system cannot handle it and I still get charged. Waiting for more than 80 days for an answer and their customer service cannot fix it, just asking me to wait and in the mean time file a complaint for every single time I have paid for luggage. A not so happy customer!!!
