Norwegian Air Will Sell Tickets For Flights To Europe Starting At $65

Stewart International will be the arrival point for New York City. The airline will launch 10 new routes from Stewart International Airport north of New York City, T.F. Green Airport in Providence, RI, and Bradley International Airport in Hartford, CT, to Ireland, Northern Ireland and the Scotland this summer.

Travellers in Scotland and Northern Ireland have been given cause to celebrate, with low-priced airline Norwegian unveiling direct flights from Edinburgh and Belfast to NY and Boston.

The Bradley flights to Scotland begin June 17 and will be offered year-round. Fares coming back from Europe will be about 160 British pounds, or $200, because of the taxes, he said.

Passengers can save by bundling a seat reservation, pre-ordering a meal service (including alcoholic beverages) and pre-paying for checked bags. The airlines does not have electronic check-in, so lines are not unheard of at Norwegian’s ticket counter. In January, ultra low-priced air carrier Spirit Airlines said it will begin servicing Bradley in April.

Reuters News reports the super low fares will be “extremely limited.” “The average age of our fleet of 170 aircraft is 3.5 years”, he said. You can barely get to California from Phoenix for that price. Low base fares are heavily advertised, drawing customers in, but then they are charged a ton for add-on items.

The new routes from Edinburgh will launch on 15 June, while the Belfast service will start on 1 July.

The twice weekly flights from €69 one-way are among 19 transatlantic flights from Shannon, Cork and Dublin.

A day later, four flights a week will begin to Providence, Rhode Island, 60 miles south of Boston.

“We are hugely grateful for this continued support and are delighted to finally unveil our plans to shake up transatlantic travel with ground-breaking fares and never before seen routes in Ireland”. Once the introductory phase is over, flights will start at $99.

Shane Ross, Irish minister for transport, tourism and sport, said that while Irish tourism had a record breaking year in 2016, with exceptional results from North America (up 19.4 percent on 2015), Norwegian’s new services will ensure that 2017 will be even better.

Tickets have gone on sale immediately on the airline’s website. He had high praise for Airport Manager Ed Harrison and his staff for their hard work in attracting Norwegian.
