Absolutely nothing wrong with Norse as long as you are aware that no food, no drinks and no luggage is included. My route is usually Oslo - Bangkok.

I paid £190 to get home from BKK. I booked quite early though.

Friends have used them, some have encountered delays, that can happen with any airline IMO.
They call me twice when I enquired, new planes but budget is what you get unless pay the extras you want but same legroom as the big names
Very very cheap if hand luggage only and no meals.
There is 6 levels of pricing, add on luggage, meals, choice of seats etc.which obviously ups the fare.

Is it 'non stop' or 'direct'? There's a big difference.
Very rarely do budget airlines fly 'non stop'

@Steve ******
interesting, whats the difference pleaseSteve *******
@Ken *******
Direct quite often has a stopover, but you don't change planes. Refuelling and some passenger changes. I got caught like that, paid for direct thinking it was non stop, couldn't believe it when we landed half way to Bangkok 😂Ken ********
@Steve ******
good to know, thanks.

I flew back with Norse in December. BKK to Manchester.
If you read the reviews then yes they aren't great. I was also very cautious after what I read. But most are around strict luggage etc. If you read their guidelines and stick to them they are no problem at all.
It's no frills and as basic as it comes but for the price they charge what do people expect. I had no problems at all and would use them again.

Graeme ******
I have read about them on reviews only and so far I'll stick with my flights either through dubia or doha as the reviews weren't that good about this airline
Ivan *********
@Graeme *****
I agree with your thoughts . If a Company cannot resolve a query /problem they do not inspire any confidence with potential customers to book a seat...

@Jay *********
"regardless"!?? He received three direct answers all of which were accurate! If be choses to do it this way, so be it. If you choose to dribble and condemn someone for asking a question on a FB page that's been set up to give advice, so be it.

The Manchester to BKK is a seasonal route only unfortunately. (Thailand's high season) one flight per week.
I am looking to leave Manchester next month and return in December. At this moment the last flights you can book are the end of March.
