Norwegian loyalty programme launches global airport lounge partnership with Collinson Group

Norwegian, the world’s sixth largest low-cost carrier, has partnered with Collinson Group, experts in customer loyalty and owners of Lounge Pass, to allow members of the airline’s loyalty programme to save costs on flights when purchasing airport lounge access.

Norwegian Reward, the award-winning loyalty programme, is now giving its five million global members a way to earn CashPoints when purchasing airport lounge access at LoungePass.com. CashPoints can be used as full or partial payment for Norwegian flights without restriction and can be spent on items such as checked baggage and seat reservations.

Brede Huser, Senior Vice President of Norwegian Reward, said, “Our five million Norwegian Reward members can now gain convenient access to Lounge Pass’s network of 426 airport lounges in 265 airports worldwide, including 148 across Europe. Not only will it improve our members’ airport experience but they can also earn more CashPoints that can make future travel with Norwegian even more affordable. Collinson Group is one of the most recognised and experienced companies in travel and customer loyalty and we look forward to taking off our new partnership that will ultimately benefit all Norwegian Reward members.”

Errol McGlothan, General Manager, Lifestyle Benefits, Collinson Group, commented, “Collinson Group continually explores ways to innovate and deliver solutions that will help forward-thinking airlines drive customer loyalty and ancillary revenues. Our research has revealed that a wide range of rewards and offers, including lounge access, was the most important aspect of a loyalty program to their members. We are delighted to be able to support travelers who prefer to fly with a low-cost carrier, and who also desire a rewarding and enhanced airport experience.”

“We are very pleased to partner with Norwegian and provide Norwegian Reward members with a streamlined, efficient and accessible way to book a VIP airport lounge experience online and earn CashPoints in the process. As Lounge Pass’s network of 426 VIP airport lounges continues to grow, we look forward to Norwegian Reward members enjoying lounge access at all the top travel destinations around the world”, he concluded.

Norwegian Reward members earn CashPoints in a number of ways including when booking Norwegian flights, hotel rooms and car rental with partner organisations. Norwegian Reward is one of the most generous loyalty programmes in the skies, with almost 700,000 UK passengers signed up to the programme, which is free to join.

Through this new partnership with Collinson Group, members of Norwegian Reward can earn CashPoints on a wider range of airport lounges in addition to those at Gatwick, Heathrow, Edinburgh and Birmingham airports in the UK.

The Norwegian group is a leading Nordic aviation company, headquartered at Fornebu outside Oslo, Norway. The company has over 8,200 employees and owns two of the prominent airlines in the Nordics: Norwegian Air Shuttle and Widerøe’s Flyveselskap. Widerøe was acquired by Norwegian in 2024, aiming to facilitate seamless air travel across the two airline’s networks.

Norwegian Air Shuttle, the largest Norwegian airline with around 4,700 employees, operates an extensive route network connecting Nordic countries to key European destinations. In 2023, Norwegian carried over 20 million passengers and maintained a fleet of 87 Boeing 737-800 and 737 MAX 8 aircraft.

Widerøe’s Flyveselskap, Norway’s oldest airline, is Scandinavia’s largest regional carrier. The airline has more than 3,500 employees. Mainly operating the short-runway airports in rural Norway, Widerøe operates several state contract routes (PSO routes) in addition to its own commercial network. In 2023, the airline had 3.3 million passengers and a fleet of 48 aircraft, including 45 Bombardier Dash 8’s and three Embraer E190-E2's. Widerøe Ground Handling provides ground handling services at 41 Norwegian airports.

The Norwegian group has sustainability as a key priority and has committed to significantly reducing carbon emissions from its operations. Among numerous initiatives, the most noteworthy is the investment in production and use of fossil-free aviation fuel (SAF). Norwegian strives to become the sustainable choice for its passengers, actively contributing to the transformation of the aviation industry.
