Norwegian Long Haul AS

Main image

Norwegian Long Haul operated as a low‑cost long‑haul carrier designed to offer lower fares on intercontinental routes using a no‑frills model. From a traveler’s perspective it was a budget option for transcontinental travel out of several European airports, trading traditional full‑service frills for lower base fares and ancillary fees.

The airline was not a member of a major global airline alliance and relied on point‑to‑point schedules and commercial partnerships to extend its network; passengers should expect a value‑oriented product rather than premium lounge or flat‑bed experiences typical of legacy carriers.

Norwegian Reward - Frequent Flyer Program

Norwegian Long Haul participated in Norwegian’s loyalty program, Norwegian Reward, where eligible bookings earn points (CashPoints) that can be redeemed toward future flight purchases and fees; earning rates vary by fare class. The program is useful for regular flyers on Norwegian and can provide savings on repeat travel, but earning and redemption value depend on the fare purchased and any partner arrangements in place.

Where Norwegian Long Haul Flies

The airline focused on long‑haul services out of multiple European gateways, operating from bases such as Amsterdam (AMS), Paris CDG (CDG) and Orly (ORY), Copenhagen (CPH), Barcelona (BCN), London Gatwick (LGW), Oslo (OSL) and Rome Fiumicino (FCO). Its route network emphasized low‑fare long‑haul leisure and point‑to‑point services across the Atlantic and other long‑haul markets rather than an extensive global hub-and-spoke network; connectivity beyond its own routes was typically handled through partner arrangements and ticketing agreements rather than alliance membership.

Aircraft and Cabin Classes

Norwegian Long Haul operated a long-haul fleet based on Boeing 787 Dreamliners, typically using both 787‑8 and 787‑9 variants for its routes. Cabins are arranged in a two-class layout with a higher‑service premium cabin offering more legroom and enhanced amenities and a larger economy cabin for standard seating; the carrier did not offer a fully flat business‑class product typical of legacy long‑haul airlines.

Aircraft types operated: Boeing 787-8, Boeing 787-9

Tips for Flying Norwegian Long Haul AS

  • Check the fare inclusions carefully before booking-checked baggage, seat selection and meals are often not included in the lowest fares and must be added separately.
  • Select seats and pre-pay baggage online well before check-in to get better prices and preferred seats on long-haul 787s.
  • Credit long-haul flights to Norwegian Reward (the carrier’s loyalty scheme) or the program you value most; earn rates depend on fare class so verify before you fly.
  • Bring your own entertainment and adaptors as in-flight offerings vary by aircraft and route, and onboard amenities on low-cost long-haul services tend to be more basic than full-service carriers.
