Budget flights between the United States and Europe have finally become a reality after Norwegian (the low-budget airline out of Norway) was finally approved for various routes to/from the United States. Currently New York to Cork, Boston to Shannon and Hartford to Edinburgh Scotland are on offer for $65 inclusive of taxes with a few other Trans-Atlantic fares at $99 each way! Many budget airlines have tried to operate these flights but have been blocked by the FAA. Looking back, the airline that came closest to this was Oasis Airlines, which started flights from Hong Kong to Vancouver and Hong Kong to London for under $300 USD each way. Oasis never had their flights to Los Angeles or New York approved and also had the unfortunately situation of going out of business in 2008 due to skyrocketing oil prices and the financial crisis.
Budget airline history aside, Norwegian have begun flights from some US cities to various European destinations. Their gateway cities are New York, Boston, Hartford, Washington DC/Baltimore, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Orlando and Ft. Lauterdale in the US. Norwegian's hub cities in Europe are Oslo, Bergen, Stockholm, Copenhagen, London (Gatwick) and Paris (CDG and Orly) but fly to many more European cities. Overall, Norwegian flies to over 100 destinations, so this could make international travel much more affordable for those looking to explore 'the other side of the pond'. Trans-Atlantic regular fares on Norwegian seem to start around $150-250 each way inclusive of taxes which is WAY below the major airlines; Special deals drop this even lower!!! Get in quick to book tickets from the USA to Europe for only $65 each way!
Tips: Check out Norwegian's low fares to various Caribbean islands and they also offers cheap flights from Oslo to Bangkok!
