Reader question: Who has experience with Norwegian airline?

By Submitted Message

March 9 2014

Dear readers,

I have to go to the Netherlands in June. Now I saw on the Norwegian website a flight from Bangkok to Amsterdam (one way) for € 244,80 including tax and surcharges.

I then leave Bangkok at 9.00 am and arrive in Amsterdam at 21.00 pm. There is a 3-hour layover in Oslo. You're flying a 787 Dreamliner so that's okay too.

I have also read something about Norwegian on the Thailand blog, but my question is are there any readers who have already flown with Norwegian? Are there sometimes snags, because this price is very attractive.

It is also strange that no Amsterdam-Bangkok tickets are offered, does anyone know why not?

Thank you and warm regards,

Robert

    This is possible. I once flew from Dusseldorf to BKK for Euro 300 - one-way ticket. I have lost the name of the company, it was German. But it was like this: The first 10 seats went for about 200, the next 10 for 250, the next 10 for 300 and so on. Usually the cheapest tickets have already been booked a year in advance. I always did/do. This was my experience.

    The one way trip is not expensive.
    The problem is that one-way tickets are often more expensive than return tickets.
    So if you want to go back, the price could end up being (much) more expensive than just buying a return flight.

    Norwegian is a low-cost carrier and that means that you have to pay quite a bit for all the extras. You pay for your suitcase, for your drink and, if you want, for a reserved seat. If you don't use all this it's cheap. If you do use the facilities they offer, the advantage generally disappears like snow in the sun.

      Have a flight with Norwegian on May 6 for 329 euros. The first suitcase is free, but only 20 kilos. All the rest is paid extra

      Yes, it is a low-cost carrier, on longhaul flights food and drinks are included in the price, you will probably have to pay extra for alcohol. As stated in another response here, on short flights such as Amsterdam Oslo there is almost no service provided, you may get a glass of water, but that is generally the case.

        I think he has a low fair ticket just like me and then the food is not included. From the premium tickets, the food is included. A menu like this will cost you 31 euros for a while

    Note
    If you book a return ticket but do not use your return flight, the airline may, in accordance with IATA standards, recalculate your ticket to a single journey and charge the difference, always a considerable additional cost, to the passenger.
    it is therefore always wise to cancel your return flight by telephone on the day of the flight, the airline retains the right to recalculation, but in practice this almost never happens after cancellation.

    No one can explain why one-way tickets are more expensive than return tickets, all the nonsense that is spewed by airlines on that question makes the explanation even more absurd.

    I flew from Dusseldorf to Oslo with Norwegian a few years ago. For example, there was no meal included and drinks had to be paid for. That is not such an issue with such a short flight, but it can be with a longer one. Furthermore, the device and the service were okay. I don't remember what the legroom was like. Have just returned from an Etihad flight partly operated by Air Berlin. That's where I'm almost stuck with my 1,90 m. I think it's worth checking (if you're as tall as me :-))

    robert,
    great that you were able to find the flight bangkok / amsterdam for that price. in the CRS system, reservation system in which all flights are listed, I cannot find that flight.

      You don't have to be that clever for that because on June 17 the price is indeed 244,80 euros on the site of norwegian airlines.

    I think no problem with a European passport. Hear good responses. Just remember that a transit visa is required for Oslo for non-EU citizens, even if you don't leave the airport in Oslo. Norwegian does not mention this.

      Doesn't seem that important to me for travelers with a Schengen visa, (“Schengen”) Residence permit or EU nationality, Norway is a Schengen country after all. It could only be relevant for travelers on their way to a non-Schengen country (but of course that applies to every passenger with a stopover: check whether you need a transit visa).

    There are indeed catches in the grass, I have booked a return ticket from Bangkok to Amsterdam, but in the end I had to buy 4 tickets: one from Bangkok to Oslo, indeed for that low price, plus a ticket from Oslo to Amsterdam, about 100 euros.
    There is no connection option via norwegian for the way back, I booked a SASticket amsterdam oslo via cheaptickets, about 200 euros and then a ticket oslo-bangkok from norwegian, total price is higher than a KLM ticket for a direct flight.

    Good luck, Willem Matthijsen

      However, I was able to book my tickets through Norwegian in one go Bangkok Amsterdam. Why there are no tickets for Amsterdam on Bangkok is a mystery to me
