The Easter bunny has come early this year, as low-cost airline Norwegian today launches a special 5-day Easter sale-offering passengers 15% off direct transatlantic flights from the UK and Ireland to 10 US destinations.

The discount is calculated on ‘net’ fares, excluding taxes and charges, with transatlantic fares available from as low as £134/€117 one way. From Wednesday 12th April 00.01 until 22.59 BST on Sunday 16th April, passengers can access special Easter weekend savings on 17 of Norwegian’s long-haul routes to the U.S.

London Gatwick to seven U.S. cities from £134

Passengers can save 15% on flights from London Gatwick direct to New York, Boston, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Oakland-San Francisco, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Savings are available on travel from 24th April – 14th December 2017 excluding 16th June – 3rd September and can book at www.norwegian.com/uk using discount code EASTER2017UK.

Belfast and Edinburgh to the U.S. east coast

The 5-day sale includes savings on Norwegian’s newest transatlantic routes from Belfast and Edinburgh to the east coast of America. Passengers can save 15% on flights from both Belfast and Edinburgh to Providence Airport (Boston) and Stewart International Airport (New York) as well as flights from Edinburgh to Bradley International Airport (New England). Passengers can book now at www.norwegian.com/uk using discount code EASTER2017UK on travel from 15th June – 14th December 2017.

Ireland to the U.S east coast from €117

Savvy savers can also enjoy discounts on Norwegian’s brand new USA flights from Shannon, Cork and Dublin. Passengers can save 15% on flights from Cork, Shannon and Dublin to Providence Airport (Boston); and from Shannon and Dublin to Stewart International Airport (New York). The discount is available on travel from 1st July – 14th December 2017 and can be booked now at www.norwegian.com/ie using discount code EASTER2017IE.

Norwegian Chief Commercial Officer Thomas Ramdahl said: “Our 5-day Easter fare-busting bonanza will give consumers the chance to enjoy further savings on 17 transatlantic routes from the UK and Ireland. These fantastic offers will provide passengers high quality flights at even more affordable fares, all while flying on one of the youngest and greenest fleets in the industry”.

Following the success of Norwegian’s long-haul service from London Gatwick to a number of popular cities in the U.S, the airline will add two new transatlantic routes to Seattle and Denver this September, , as well as increasing the number of flights to the USA from the airport by 55% this summer. A fleet of brand new 787 Dreamliner aircraft offering an economy and Premium cabin operate all Norwegian long-haul routes from London Gatwick.

Norwegian has continued its growth plans in the UK and Ireland with a huge expansion on its long-haul network. In February, Norwegian launched 10 new transatlantic routes from Edinburgh, Belfast, Cork, Shannon and Dublin. These new flights will serve smaller airports on the US east coast, which offer good access into the New York, Boston and New England areas but carry significantly lower landing charges, allowing Norwegian to offer some truly affordable fares.

The new routes from Edinburgh, Belfast, Cork, Shannon and Dublin will be operated on brand new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft - Norwegian is the European launch customer for this state-of-the-art new aircraft which offers a longer range than existing single-aisle aircraft. Passengers will be able to travel in a fresh and modern single-class economy cabin.

Norwegian is Europe’s third largest low-cost carrier, carrying 30 million yearly passengers to more than 140 global destinations. Norwegian has been voted the Best Low-Cost Long-Haul Airline for two consecutive years at the renowned SkyTrax Awards, and the Europe’s Best Low-Cost Airline for four consecutive years.

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.
