It is Nowegian. Just to save people from clicking it.

So it is into Stewart Airport. Still an incredible price if you can travel with no baggage etc.

Add your seat, add your meal, add your baggage, add your very long transfers.

The transfer isn't soooo bad it's a easy shuttle.

And no need for a reserved seat or food!

You can't be picky with these bargain flights.

Food on planes is generally rank anyway!

Creamy Goodness

Maybe a suggestion for flight bargain alerts the thread title should include the airport codes. that way there's no ambiguity in what you're getting e.g.:

[DUB - SWF]
[DUB - JFK]

etc.

How long will this last for?

Exactly and unless you have some medical condition you can easily do transatlantic without eating that absolute bile. I often fly to Asia to places like Singapore, Hong Kong and Bangkok and never touch the airline food, maybe the dessert or the little bread roll are ok and the free drinks fine, everything is pure rotten. I got food poisoning after flying back to Ireland in 2012 and I attribute it to the airline food. Haven't touched airline food since.

People regularly slum it with Ryanair down to the Canary Islands and you must remember that the Norwegian return leg to Ireland will be only around 1hr longer with the jet-stream behind it.

Bottle of water and some sleeping pills are you friend for 8+hrs flights, anything shorter isn't worth talking about. Norweigan to NY is easily bearable provided the seating isn't as tight as Ryanair.

The last time I got a bus from there to Manhattan it took about 1hr 45m.

The Stewart Express states 80mins travel time on their website.

As for your other 3 points; bring a sandwich, no need to book a seat and just bring carry on.
I've bought two of these TAL flights with Norwegian this year.
Very much looking forward to travelling on their brand new 737 MAX's too.

jenno86

I presume you can still do the pre-clearance in Dublin? Insane prices for flights to NYC, I was thinking of going this year and this seems to good to miss.

Ehhh no but will hardly leave you broke to buy a bottle of water or a soft drink before you board

Cheap flights for anybody not fussy if you want dinner and prebooked seat drinks etc etc then plenty of airlines will do that but for the rest of us who just need the lift over with some hand luggage happy days

RocketRaccoon

I would love to take advantage of this deal but I just don't see myself ever going to New York and not having checked in baggage, particularly on the way home.

Check a bag on the way back, carry on on the way over.. buy a cheap suitcase and fill it while ur there.

No in-flight entertainment so you'll need to bring your own.

Basically Ryanair to the states.

People are forgetting this is a no-frills service to the states, if it works for you, then it works - otherwise spend the €150-200euro extra and fly Aerlingus and the likes

Whatever criticisms people have, no other airline (apart from maybe WOW) will get you there for less then €200. If your going for a week you don't really need a checked bag, overhead bag should be fine - and just bring a tablet for the journey. Simples.

Wow are charging €50 each way (€100 return) for the privilege of bringing hand luggage now. Hard to imagine and scenario where someone wouldn't at least need hand luggage. It's a bit of a cod to be honest.

Aer Lingus is similarly priced (or even cheaper) on many dates I've checked when you add in the stealth €100 carry on charge. Nevermind that you're getting a free checked bag (€140 on wow), free meal, a direct flight that's not stuck on the runway in Reykjavik for 2 hours.

I'm very unimpressed with Wow air's offering to be honest. Norwegian looks decent, if they don't charge extra for the carry on luggage.

JCX BXC

Ah ya, I actually found Wow's offering to be quite funny.

Yup, many people backpack around Asia for 6 months on just hand luggage. Many business travellers just carry hand luggage for quick work trips (in and out of the airport quickly). Check out onebagging on youtube, etc.

I use to drag way too much luggage too in the past. Now I just take hand luggage and it is extremely liberating I have to say. Makes travel WAY easier. So happy to save the money.

Yea, that's not bad at all. Especially in the summer months when you can get by with shorts and t-shirts!

Hand luggage only is fine for solo travellers and the likes of short business trips, but if you're going on holiday and intend to enjoy yourself, i.e go to shows and the likes and do a bit of shopping then you really need checked on baggage.

Sure, you aren't going to be able to bring back tons of shopping, but a decent wheely bag + a small backpack and your able for any week long holiday!

For you yes, but you're aware that there are people different to you?

While it's great that it suits you, it won't suit everyone/alot of people (at first at least), and I don't know why this is nearly trying to be ignored.

Been to NYC twice in the last six months. Been to shows and the fanciest night clubs and restaurants, etc. and all with hand luggage only.

Really it isn't that hard with a little pre-planning.

BTW I bought almost nothing over in NYC on those two trips. The exchange rate is poor at the moment, the things I looked at were pretty much the same or cheaper here. You can always buy luggage just for the return trip if you find things worth it.

gizmo81

I've seen these flights and I am very tempted. There's the new direct bus starting next month and with pre-clearance too.

I've previously flown with Aer Lingus to New York, it really was nothing special. I think people romanticise it.

We then got a private car into our hotel in times square from JFK and it took for ever with the traffic.

I don't think I need more than a carry on for 5 nights in New York, I'm just waiting to hear of people's experiences on this route to take the plunge.

That's great. For you.

I prefer to have clean clothes for each day that I'm there. I like to bring more than 1 pair of shoes. I like to bring more than one pair of jeans and chinos especially if I'm in the office for the week and then expected to attend work functions in the evening and I don't want to look/smell scruffy.

I like to bring toiletries instead of looking for somewhere to buy them when I arrive. I like to buy a present for my wife/daughter when I'm there and maybe buy some clothes in the outlets, which contrary to your comment are still great value even at 1:1 dollar:euro.

I often have a laptop when I go so no backpack allowed there. I travelled twice this winter when there were snow storms and -16 degree temperatures requiring me to bring a heavy coat and warm clothes which are bulky.

As I said, solo travellers and short business trips, fine no problem.

I don't have a problem with Norwegian at all or with people having just hand luggage. But don't assume it would suit most people.

Plus all your backpacks must be full of those sandwiches, drinks and iPads and QC35s that you need on the flight too.

PaulKK

Mr.S wrote: »

Laptop in backpack / clothes in main hand luggage no?

And no, of course I get that some people travel heavy, in that case - you would obviously get a checked in bag.

My laptop and charger weigh over 6kg. Am I to go in to the office with the backpack too? I have the max allowable sized hand luggage. In the summer you might survive, single pair of shoes etc but as soon as you need a few jumpers and a jacket it changes things. You also potentially need to buy deodorant, toothpaste etc when you arrive.

Seriously, I do get what you are saying, and I'd go on a weeks sun holiday with hand luggage no problem, but not the states.

I still think when you say 'some people' that should be 'most people' travel 'heavy'.

Don't be ridiculous! Of course I always have clean clothes!

Modern quick drying clothes that can be easily washed in a sink and dry the next morning. Easy. And to be honest it is easy to carry a weeks worth of clothes in carry on without needing to wash. Just need to make compact options.

Don't bring a second pair of jeans. Total waste. Though second chinos don't take up much room.

I bring my own toiletries too. Those mini sized travel ones, take up little or no space.

As for presents, great just buy luggage for one way and make sure you are saving more then the luggage cost. Alternatively buy jewellery, takes up no space and usually quiet appreciated.

Laptop goes in backpack no bother. In fact you are meant to carry a laptop in carry on, not in the hold due to the danger of battery catch fire! Obviously it helps if you have one of the more modern light weight laptops like a Macbook Air or PC equivalent.

As for jackets, easy, goose feather or synthetic equivalent jackets fold down to nothing (literally fold into their own pocket!) yet are super warm. Wear a Marino Wool base layer and you will be toasty even in weather like that. Take it from a person who hikes in such conditions frequently!

If you like I can link you to some youtube videos about people backpacking in Iceland in winter with just 7kg carry ons!

I've QC20's in ears rather then QC35's, they fit in your pocket.

Water bottle and sandwiches go in the bag from the shop you get them from after security!

BTW the advantage of doing the above is cheaper tickets, no luggage costs, no queueing to check in luggage, no queueing to pick up luggage after a flight, no losing checked luggage, no dragging heavy bags around the airport, on and off public transport, etc.

Hey, I'm not saying it is for everyone, maybe it isn't for you, in the past I would have thought much like you. A lot of people can't be bothered and prefer to carry the kitchen sink. But really once you get into it you realise with a little planning anyone can do it for any length of time and still look great doing it.

There are dozens of choices for people like you who want to carry the kitchen sink. It is great that there is now a choice for people who are willing to think different and save some money. Given that Ryanair is one of the biggest airlines in the world now I'm guessing there are a lot of people like me who are delighted to have similar cheaper options on transatlantic.

gizmo81

I couldn't agree more. A couple of years ago I bought a cabin max bag on Amazon for £25. It fit's a huge amount, I can't bear a wheel anymore.

I've exactly the same bag +1 Use a compression bag in it and you can get seriously large amounts of clothes into it! It was my first carry on bag.

Easily carry a weeks worth of clothes, including extra pants, shoes and a laptop, no bother at all in that bag.

Now I carry half of that and use a smaller bag with more structure, but that level of light weight travel isn't for everyone.

gizmo81

I agree, it suits me as I travel rarely more than 5 days at a time.

Now I want a version of the cabin max for the small personal bag and I'll be laughing

One of the main reasons I prefer to pay for a checked bag is that it means I don't have to carry a cabin bag around the airport. I just have a small backpack instead. There's no stress about finding space for it in the overhead bins either.

That is why I went from the cabinmax type bag to just a day bag type backpack, at least for some trips. Though that is truly into ultralight travel territory that might be a bit much for some people.

BTW at €200 you could easily head to NYC for just a quick 3 to 4 day trip. That is enough time to see the main sights there and take in a show or two and do some shopping. You really don't need luggage for just a few days.

jive

Does this argument have to be done every time there is a Norwegian flight deal? It's cheap as chips, bring your own laptop/kindle and grub; not like you're missing out on anything tasty 40,000 feet in the air. Transfer time is insignificantly longer to get to Manhattan on the other side.

If you think you need a checked bag and to be on an airline that pretends not to be a low cost carrier then go with Aer Lingus for an extra €200.

Actually what I found is that once you can carry 5 to 7 days worth of clothes, then you can use the same for two weeks, a month, etc. Just wash them once a week.

You see, that little jab remark at the end makes me think that alot of the arguments here are purely due to dissatisfaction with Aer Lingus or whatever as opposed to the issue itself, could be wrong here, but that's what I think.

It's not as if Aer Lingus are the only airline other than Norwegian flying transatlantic. Delta are probably slightly better than Aer Lingus. United and American are also competitors. Though in American's case they aren't much better than Norwegian!

You can't bring drinks through security, and you can't bring ham and other things through pre-clearance​, so basically yes, but what you can buy after pre-clearance.

God I don't get the arguments here if you don't want to fly Norwegian as the don't fit your needs as you need to bring more bags or whatever then don't book them book whoeveer Meets your needs!

Nobody is forced to book these flights people seem to be so offended over these flights not having food entertainment and checked bags all you have to do is go book an airline that does!!
For us that can manage these flights are great

If concerned about water, just bring an empty bottle through in your hand luggage and once the far side of security fill it at a water dispenser, simples

We've had some of the same people knocking the Norwegian flights from even before they got their licence.
These flights will suit people who are ok with the Ryanair model of low cost flying.
For the others they will bring down the price of other transatlantic airline prices.
So price wise it's a win win for everybody.

Rocko wrote: »

Yes and I do wonder how many of those folks might work for or have family that work for some other airline!

Yes, it is absolutely right to point out the differences between Norwegian and the other traditional airlines, what is and isn't included and the costs of extras, so that people can make an informed decision.

What is not needed is the snide comments that seem to be made about it every time, like it is some sort of scam! It is a low cost airline and most of us should be well use to what that entails by now.

It might not be suitable for everyone, but for whom it is suited, it represents amazing value for money and big savings over the traditional airlines.

hynesie08

I booked this when the sale was announced, doing a Thursday to Tuesday in August for 250 return with an emergency exit seat, That was 400 euro cheaper than aer lingus, who have always been awful when I've used them. If this drives down the price of united to EWR it'll be a win win for me, if not I'll survive with Norwegian.

It's great to see another service, although there's already 9 airlines going transatlantic (Aer Lingus, United, Delta, American, Air Transat, Air Canada, WestJet, Thompson, Ethopian).

4 airlines already go to JFK/Newark and 2 to Boston so I can't really seeing it making to much of an overall difference being the 10th airline going transatlantic from Dublin unless it's a new market for those who are only going due to the low cost and/or from the region in the states.

However I've seen people get off Westjet 737 from Newfoundland before and all I got was the feeling that a 737 is not a comfortable longhaul flight so time will tell if it works out.
