Norwegian launches new summer menu
Low-cost airline Norwegian has launched a new summer food menu, adding tasty culinary delights to the sky. UK passengers travelling to Europe can now look forward to traditional British tastes and American classics, all served with a side of cloud.
The new menu arrives just in time for the start of Wimbledon next week, so tennis fans can enjoy afternoon tea at 35,000 feet. Passengers can now enjoy a traditional English scone with strawberry jam and clotted cream with a cup of tea, while keeping up-to-date with the latest scores by logging on to Norwegian’s complimentary on-board Wi-Fi. If their favourite player wins, travellers can purchase a glass of bubbles to celebrate.
The enhanced menu also includes Norwegian’s first hot meal, on UK short-haul flights, a classic chicken tikka masala meal served with rice and broccoli. For US passengers travelling to Europe via the UK on Norwegian’s low-cost long-haul flights and fancy a taste of home, they can now treat themselves to American style blueberry pancakes.
Live Marie Aasheim, Head of Inflight Services said: “We know that Norwegian customers are looking for something a bit different when they fly with us, which is why we are delighted to offer these new dishes. Passengers can now enjoy an afternoon treat or tuck in to our new hot meal, all while enjoying the comforts of our brand new aircraft and free Wi-Fi.”
Customers travelling with Norwegian this summer can now taste the new dishes, which are available to purchase on all short-haul flights from the UK. Norwegian now fly to more than 30 European destinations. Summer flights to Europe start from £29.90 per person one-way and include all applicable taxes and charges.
