Low-cost airline Norse Atlantic recently published discounted fares for fall travel from $129. The airline offers direct service from New York to popular European travel destinations, including London, Paris, and Rome. The discounted tickets overlap with the travel “shoulder season” when airlines and hotels provide lower prices to entice travelers.
The summer travel season may be winding down, but fall airfare savings are just taking off.
Travelers looking to explore Europe are in luck as airlines are deeply discounting overseas flights. In fact, passengers can book for less than $130 throughout September, October, and November.
Low-cost carrier Norse Atlantic Airways recently published discounted fares as low as $129 when flying from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to London Gatwick Airport (LGW), and starting at $149 when flying from New York to Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci/Fiumicino Airport (FCO).
The airline, which based in Arendal, Norway, also has one-way direct flights from New York to Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) and Oslo Airport (OSL) for under $140.
Travel + Leisure spotted a variety of additional discounted fares including:
- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Athens International Airport (ATH) from $158 throughout September
- LAX to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) from $132 on Oct. 5
- New York to Athens from $149 on Oct. 7
- New York to London from $129 on Oct. 15
- Orlando International Airport (MCO) to London from $149 on Oct. 12
The low fares come on the heels of Norse’s decision to launch new service between Bangkok and London. Those flights are set to take off in October.
The discounted prices are for seats in Norse’s Economy Light cabin, which includes a personal item and a carry-on bag weighing up to 22 pounds. Travelers should be advised the tickets are restrictive and can only be changed for a hefty fee.
In addition, travelers can book their tickets in the carrier’s Economy Classic cabin, which includes a meal service and a checked bag; or in the Premium cabin, which includes complimentary soft drinks and alcoholic drinks, as well as priority boarding with extra legroom, and amenity kits. The Premium Cabin doesn’t offer lie-flat seats, but does include an “excellent recline” with a 43-inch seat pitch and is designed to be wider, according to the airline.
Norse Atlantic was founded in 2021 and now operates a fleet of Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.
These deals overlap with “shoulder season”, a travel period that falls between the busy summer and the end-of-year holidays. Traditionally, travelers can find the lowest prices of the year on flights, hotels, and rental cars thanks to lower demand. This year, travelers can get great deals to popular European destinations like Lisbon, Nice, Venice, Munich, and more.
