We fly Norse Atlantic next month on an inaugural fare for less than $300 MCO to Oslo RT. Their first planes took off a few days ago…wondering if anyone was on them and can give any feedback on their experience?

Norse Atlantic is brought to you by a guy named Bjørn who built Norwegian Air Shuttle into a low-cost carrier with transatlantic service complementing its domestic (intra European) routes. Think of Norse Atlantic as Norwegian minus the profitable domestic side that kind of sort of kept Norwegian afloat (along with the occasional down-to-the-last-moment, desperate injection of cash by some wealthy Norwegian). Investors have given Bjørn money again. The business model this time is that "cheap" B787 aircraft acquired during the pandemic will allow for profitable low-cost flights between the US and Europe. Sky high jet fuel prices were not part of the business model. We'll see how long Bjørn can keep things afloat this time.
