Norse Airways Premium Class Review: Value or Disappointment for Transatlantic Travelers?
A recent travel review has cast a critical eye on Norse Airways' Premium Class service, detailing a transatlantic flight from Miami to London. The passenger, Milad, provided an in-depth account of the budget airline's premium offering, emphasizing its competitive pricing, reportedly being more affordable than economy class on established carriers such as British Airways, Virgin, and American Airlines. The review highlighted several positive aspects, including spacious seating with ample legroom, multiple charging ports, and an in-flight entertainment system. "The seat was honestly spacious," the traveler noted, appreciating the significant recline available. However, the experience was not without its criticisms. The provided amenities, such as the pillow and blanket, were deemed "pointless" and "not comfortable at all." A major point of contention was the in-flight meal service, which the reviewer described as "terrible" with "way too small portions," despite generally enjoying airplane food. Drink service, while available on demand via the entertainment screen, reportedly took up to 30 minutes for delivery. The review also cautioned about baggage policies, noting that while not checked in Miami, bags were scrutinized in London for size and weight. Ultimately, the video prompts a discussion on whether the cost savings justify the perceived shortcomings in service and amenities for a premium class experience.
