Norwegian

Somehow missed the rise of this airline and its low fares across the Atlantic, especially to the UK.

Could cross off “Attend March at SOL” off my bucket list.

What’s the catch? How can they run a sustainable business at such prices?

Attending a match might be better than a march

AI on my iPhone must have auto corrected thinking who would pay to watch a Match!

No catch. You pay extra for baggage, food a fortune, (don't buy it) no entertainment (take a book or tablet)

My lads have been flying over with em for ages. They've also used Air NZ for west coast flights, as they used LA as a stop over.

Ta.

Friend told me of flights to London and Cork. Any closer to SOL?

I’ve flown to Edinburgh with them

Amazing. For a Sunday match could fly out on Saturday NY-Edinb. for under $125 and presumably similar cost the return.

A friend flew over from Durham in NC to see me and she had entertainment.

Air NZ are up there with Emirates as my favourite airline. Flew with them to LA and they were excellent.

i flew gatwick jfk return for 360, and that included the 50 quid surcharge each way for hold bag (20kg) 2 meal and seat reservation. planes are really nice and quiet.

Will look at their financials when it comes out, guessing that they can’t stay in business.

Edit: despite name not Norwegian company, their Long Haul sub is Dublin registered and free to use international (e.g. Thai) flight crews.

Also cutting costs w tighter schedules at risk of flight delays if something goes wrong. So sustainable if flyers accept tradeoff low fares.

Lovely and warm, the bit of kit to wear when on an exercise.(ex squaddies will know what I’m on about).

Was about to post that. The flight crew are paid somewhat less than the average for a transatlantic flight crew as well so that's an extra saving for them also.

Ta for confirming. If delays are only a few hours at most, then Sunday Match (not March) is in the cards.

Yeah, it seems like delays are, like you say, down to tighter schedules and less turnaround time so they should be just hours.
