Up to four-times-weekly flights will get under way from 26 October 2025, with return fares leading in from £295pp including taxes.

Bangkok will become Norse’s first UK route to Asia; it currently flies transatlantic from Gatwick, and also to South Africa. "The introduction of this service marks a significant expansion of the airline’s operations in the UK market," it said.

Oslo-headquartered Norse has operated to Bangkok from the Norwegian capital since 2023, and will also serve the Thai capital from Stockholm this winter for the first time.

Bjorn Tore Larsen, Norse’s chief executive, said launching Thailand from the UK would strengthen its network and build on its expansion to South Africa.

"For us, it’s all about offering more travel options at great prices without compromising on comfort and service for those looking to enjoy a beautiful and warm winter sunshine destination,” he added.
