Confused by Norwegian Air's website

[pudgypilgrim]

Does anybody else have problems with the Norwegian air website? I'm planning to leave in Sept for Paris and return at the end of October, first part of November. The site shows plenty of attractive fares for the September departure, but even in Sept they show no flights back at any price. Now those planes have to get to FL somehow or other in order to leave for Paris, so I find this hard to believe.

I've tried deleting cookies and logging in with France as my country and I still get the same results looking for flights from Paris after mid-August. Is it me, is the site goofy, or what? Does anyone know the secret to getting the flight schedule from them?

I'm not seeing any flights from Paris to Florida.

They don't need to fly back from Paris. They can just ferry them to London or other city and fly from there. The ferry flight from Paris to London would just be a short hop.

I know that they have been fighting with the unions in the US... might be related to this..

They are also on the way to "move" from Norway to Ireland to be able to fly these routes, but not sure what the status is. Since they are the first "low cost" airline to try transatlantic, I guess they need to fight bureaucracy on both coasts.

I love flying Norwegian, I do overtime I go home to Norway from Spain..

Hi, NicoZ. It's not direct going from FL, either. You have to go to Copenhagen and then back, but for the price it's worth it.

Thanks, Ivar. Maybe that's it, although I ran into this before when they first started flying from FL. Could go to Oslo for $137 (!), but you couldn't get back at all.

I don't mind their restrictions, either. I have such terrible motion sickness whenever I fly that I never eat anything anyway, so I'm quite willing to give up the meal service for a better ticket price. Small carry-on limitations, too--good for making one rethink those pack contents one more time.
