The budget carrier begins daily flights from Gatwick to Chicago on Sunday (March 25), offering one-way fares from £139.90. The year-round service will feature an expanded Premium cabin with 56 seats offering more than a metre of legroom.
Chicago’s launch will be followed on Tuesday (March 27) by the start of flights from Gatwick to Austin, which will break a European monopoly British Airways has on this route.
Norwegian’s chief commercial Officer Thomas Ramdahl said: “We’re delighted to unlock another key gateway to the USA by launching the UK’s cheapest nonstop flights to Chicago.
