"Very unfriendly staff"

(Sweden)

Trip Verified | I've flown with them a couple of times. Very unfriendly staff and stressful experience. The seats are very uncomfortable. If you can go with another airline I would recommend that.

"Appalling services"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | My baggage was lost in a direct flight from LA to London. Zero interest to inform as to whereabouts, no response to the emails, issue still not resolved and I have no idea or information about my baggage. They have given me a reference code which is invalid to track my baggage. When I emailed them to compensate me for my lost items and baggage I received no answer. Worst company ever. Avoid at all costs. And we paid almost £2000 for the tickets, that includes no meal and not even headphones which they charge you £6 for. Appalling services.

"the best crew I ever seen"

(France)

Not Verified | This company has the best crew I ever seen. The on-board staff are taking care of themselves. I have rarely seen a company with such friendly and attentive staff. The flight from Miami to Paris on January 29, 2024.

“Zero comfort in flight”

(Italy)

Trip Verified | La peggiore compagnia con cui abbia mai volato. Riprogrammato il volo di rientro due volte, anticipandolo di due giorni. Zero confort in volo, tutte le aggiunte sono a pagamento e con prezzi ESORBITANTI. Dopo quasi 11 ore di volo senza coperte, poggia testa e senza un bicchiere d'acqua, le hostess poco prima dell'arrivo hanno lasciato due merendine sui sedili... probabilmente perché in scadenza. Non credo sceglierò più questa compagnia. - The worst company I have ever flown with. The return flight was rescheduled twice, bringing it forward by two days. Zero comfort in flight, all additions are paid and at EXORBITANT prices. After almost 11 hours of flight without blankets, head rests and without a glass of water, the stewardesses left two snacks on the seats shortly before arrival... probably because they were expiring. I don't think I will choose this company again.

“I'd rather swim the Atlantic”

(Switzerland)

Not Verified | I'd rather swim the whole Atlantic than fly Norse Atlantic Airways! Like every passenger, we took the tickets because of the low prices and then paid extra for what we needed. We took a one-way flight - thankfully - from Orlando to London, and as extra services we clearly knew we needed a 23 kg- bag and two carry ons for which we paid quite a bit, online. We arrived at the airport, and unlike other airlines where you check in online, you don't have this option with Norse. You have to go to the check-in desk instead, whether you have a checked baggage or not. You get there and before you go to the check-in counter one or two employees check each bag, whether it's carry-on or a bag with a Disney World Orlando souvenir, the bag has to be put in a box and approved by some employees who probably hate their job so much that they become rude and absurd. In our situation, there was a young lady who couldn't decide whether a backpack was bigger or smaller than the requirements given, you just have to put it in a box in a very specific way. Later, when the employee is malicious, you discover that the backpack that meets all the requirements does not fit. Why? Because she says so! We've been traveling around the world for almost 8 years and this is the first time I've encountered such a rude staff and such policies. To have your backpack in that box, be even smaller than the box and be told it doesn't fit is something I have never encountered! Afterwards, at the check-in desk your luggage is weighed. Apparently, our luggage was over the limit, and there are huge fees for oversized luggage. The next day we were shocked to find out that our checked baggage was not 23kg, but only 20kg (basically, the next day we flew from London to Milan with British Airways, and our very same baggage became 3kg lighter overnight). It was the same with the smaller bags. After you get your ticket, and your luggage has been checked twice, you figure that boarding will be quick and you won't have to go through the same discussions and checks. Well, you're wrong! Because you arrive at the boarding gate where there are three employees just checking your bags, again! And if you've been shopping in Duty Free shops and have an extra duty free bag, good luck! You'll have to put it in your luggage or explain what's in the bag and why! Our experience with Norse Atlantic Airways was definitely our first and last and it was the worst one! I wish I had read the reviews before buying the tickets because everything written is true! Poor quality service, unfriendly staff focused on making you pay more fees, on the plane you don't even get a glass of water or headphones (a pair of headphones costs $6). And if somehow you want to buy a ticket, it might be cheap, but it will cost you more later. And as a conclusion, I'd rather swim the whole Atlantic than fly Norse Atlantic Airways. And I don't even know how to swim! PS. We had a luggage tag and they removed it without our consent.

"no food, given no blanket"

(Iceland)

Not Verified | Long flight around 11 hours. You need to purchase headphones, no food, given no blanket. Everything you can buy, enormous big prices, for example headphones 6 euro piece. The staff are rude.

“they are fueled by greed”

(United States)

Trip Verified | I have flown them 4 times, the last 2 times were nightmares, they resold my premium seat from me which was purchased MONTHS in advance, I get to the airport and they made me wait hours to find a solution because they are fueled by greed, cannot be trusted and will double dip to try to get more money at your expense. I contacted support about this 4 times with 0 response.

“Huge problems to fix in customer service”

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Disgraceful airline who take advantage of their customers, avoid at all costs. January 5th 2024 for the 10:00am flight to Miami met with rude customer service representative at Gatwick airport on who forces you to pay 67 pounds for a regular light carry-on bag under 10kg which has never been a problem on any other airline, to rub salt into the wound the representative smirks and makes faces at you avoiding answering any of your questions and rudely picks up her mobile phone to make calls whilst totally ignoring the customer in front of her. Shockingly, no food or beverage is offered on the 9 hour 30 minute flight (only paid menu food) like on other long distance economy flights and not once do the cabin crew even offer passengers water. Only positives found were that the seats were not too uncomfortable and the inflight entertainment options are descent. Huge problems to fix in customer service.

"The crew was friendly"

(Netherlands)

Trip Verified | Everything went according to plan. The crew was friendly. The plane was not fully booked, so I had a full row at my disposal and could sleep lying down in between. I had read the reviews after I booked, so I was afraid it would be a bad experience. So that certainly didn't happen.

“I too had my flight cancelled”

(New Zealand)

Trip Verified | Similar to others experiences, I too had my flight cancelled and the only options available were to accept the flight that was 1 day earlier than booked, or get a refund. Due to circumstances, leaving a day early was not an option. I would have preferred other options (such as other dates, or even cities) but there was no reasonable means to get in touch, as others have also experienced. Extremely disappointed as I had scored a great deal, and now have to spend double the amount on flights that take longer. I really wish it had worked out, but buyer beware.
