Norse Atlantic Airways, the innovative low-cost, long-haul airline, marked a milestone by celebrating two inaugural flights on the 30th June and 1st July, connecting London to Los Angeles and San Francisco respectively. These new direct services offer an affordable and expedient travel solution for UK-based passengers eager to explore the cultural riches of these two prominent Californian cities.
Los Angeles and San Francisco are the latest American destinations added to Norse Atlantic’s burgeoning network from their London Gatwick base. “We’re delighted to announce that with these additions, Norse Atlantic is now the largest long-haul operator to the US from London Gatwick,” said CEO Bjørn Tore Larsen. “These routes offer travellers an affordable, convenient gateway to iconic attractions, from San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge and Fisherman’s Wharf to Hollywood and Santa Monica Beach in Los Angeles.”
Daily flights to Los Angeles from London Gatwick depart at 10:35, arriving at 14:10 the same day, with return flights leaving Los Angeles at 14:25 and touching down at 11:00 the following day. Round-trip Economy fares start from £460, inclusive of all taxes and fees.
Flights to San Francisco operate thrice weekly, departing London Gatwick at 10:10 and arriving at 13:25 the same day, while return flights depart at 15:25 and arrive at 9:50 the following day. Round-trip Economy fares for this route start from £455, again including all taxes and fees.
The airline prides itself on its modern fleet of Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, known for their spacious and comfortable interiors. Every seat comes with a personal, state-of-the-art entertainment experience. The Norse Premium cabin offers an impressive 43” seat pitch and 12” recline, allowing passengers to arrive at their destination feeling revitalised.
Norse Atlantic’s fare options – Light, Classic, and Flextra – cater to a variety of travel preferences. Flextra fares, including generous baggage allowances, dual meal services, superior airport and onboard experiences, and increased ticket flexibility, represent Norse Atlantic’s premium option, while Light fares offer unmatched value for budget-conscious travellers.
