This Budget Airline Just Made It Easier (and Cheaper) to Fly Across the Atlantic

Flying across the Atlantic Ocean is not an easy task for airlines. The jet fuel required for long-haul flights is not cheap – fueling a trans-Atlantic flight costs at least $27,000, and can cost over $100,000. Long-hauls require more staff than short-hauls, necessitate serving multiple meals, and must be flown on larger planes. All of these costs add up to a sum that budget airlines are often not able to swallow. As such, few of them boast overseas routes that last. One exception is Norse Atlantic, a Norwegian-based budget airline that specializes in doing just that. Finding good deals on the airline’s flights will be easier than ever in 2025, thanks to Norse finally listing its flights on SkyScanner and other third-party online travel agencies.

Prior to the airline’s decision to add its flights to SkyScanner, flyers could still find trans-Atlantic deals from the airline – but they had to visit the Norse website in order to do so. That all changed in December when Norse added its flights into the back-end booking system Sabre, which provides data to OTAs so that they can list flights for customers to purchase.

While Norse doesn’t fly to many US cities, it does hit New York JFK, Miami, Las Vegas and Orlando. From there, travelers must transfer to another airline if they need to connect to other domestic destinations. On the European side, travelers departing from the US can fly to Berlin, London Gatwick, Rome, Paris, and Oslo.

If you plan to travel to Europe in 2025, your best bet for finding the cheapest fares is to search SkyScanner for Norse Atlantic flights as part of your research. Using SkyScanner allows you to compare prices across different airlines and routes, and now that more budget trans-Atlantic flights are listed, it’s easier than ever to get the best fare.
