Norwegian Air budget flights from London to Singapore

Norwegian Air, Norwegian low-cost airline which is the third largest low-cost carrier in Europe, has launched the world's longest budget flight route from London to Singapore, which will cost £149.90 one-way (273.84 Singapore Dollars). The budget Singapore flight will be a non-stop flight between Gatwick Airport which is 47.5 km south of Central London to Singapore Changi Airport and will take 12 hours and 45 minutes.

The route was announced in April 2017 and is operating since September 28th 2017. The flight departs 10.30 a.m. from London and lands in Singapore at 6.15 a.m Singapore time.

You may think that it would be a torture to take almost 13 hours budget flight. But the London - Singapore budget flight is operated by a brand new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft. All seats on the Dreamliner have personal 11-inch seat-back screens and USB ports.

The London - Singapore budget flight also offers premium seats at a price tag of £699.90 (1278.59 Singapore Dollars) one way. This has a "spacious cradle seating" with more than a metre of legroom, and free lounge access at Gatwick Airport.

Norwegian will fly low cost long haul to Bangkok and New York from Oslo

Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA, a low-cost carrier operating cheap flights to Oslo, Copenhagen, Stockholm, will start its first long-haul budget flight on May 30 2013. The flight will be between Oslo and New York. Later on June 1st 2013, the low cost carrier will start long haul flights between Oslo and Bangkok. Norwegian started to sell the tickets for its long-haul flights to New York and Bangkok from Oslo and Stockholm in November 2012.


“This is a major milestone in our company’s history and I am very pleased that it is now possible to book tickets to our flights to New York and Bangkok. We look forward to welcoming our passengers on board the brand new Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the most modern and technologically advanced long-haul aircraft in production today,” said CEO Bjørn Kjos.

“Freedom of choice is an important part of Norwegian's business philosophy – also on the intercontinental routes. As we know that travelers have a greater need for ‘that little extra’ on longer flights, we will give those who want the option to order a product which includes larger seats, more leg room, a three-course meal with drinks and checked baggage,” said Kjos.

With departures from Bangkok and New York from both Oslo and Stockholm, it is possible to fly Norwegian from Scandinavia to both cities six days a week.
