Notes and open topics from the editor’s desk.

Welcome to Departures. The place to be for where to go and what to see. Happy Friday everyone! Here’s another amazing last minute transatlantic deal from the great folks over at Norse. So far the best deal I’ve seen in the last few months.

💰 The Deal:

New York (JFK) to London (LGW) non-stop for $99. This special sale is for travel between now and March 2024. It is only available directly through the airlines official website flynorse.com and expires Monday, February 5th at 12:00m, or when the seats sell out. So you will definitely need to act fast. As of this morning there were still plenty of seats available at the sale price:

Though the lowest price is between New York and London, there are also other great fares for other European destinations including:

• Orlando (MCO) to London Gatwick (LGW) from $129

• Miami (MIA) to London Gatwick (LGW) from $129

• Miami (MIA) to Paris (CDG) from $129

• Miami (MIA) to Oslo (OSL) from $129

✈️ About Norse Air:

We’ve featured Norse in the past as it consistently ranks as one of our top value long haul carriers in the market. It operates similar routes to Play and French Bee. The biggest difference is that Norse offers a lot more non-stop point to point routes and connects via Oslo, Norway.

📸 About the Aircraft:

One of my favorite things about Norse is that it flies a fleet made entirely out of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. With extra large windows, a lower cabin altitude and daylight emulating LED lighting, these are among the most comfortable cabins for long haul flights in the industry. There are also USB charger and power outlets on every seat across both Premium and Economy cabins.

They offer a modern in flight entertainment system and have a good selection of choices on their menu.

🧳 Baggage Allowance

As with all ultra low cost carriers (and most full service ones) the baggage allowance is limited. For the Economy Light fare product in this sale, Norse only includes 1 personal item. Here is a chart of charges for additional baggage and other services:

If you are a minimal or efficient packer, you can maximize your carry to fit the personal item dimensions with a backpack like this one from Eastpak:
