When things go well with Norwegian it's a fantastic airline. But I've witnessed some absolutely awful experiences others have had - fights delayed 11 hours, some even more than that, leaving everyone stranded in the airport. Other times they've contracted out flights to a no-name airline that uses ancient planes with no in flight entertainment.
I'm happy to take Norwegian when I'm travelling by myself, as I'm content to take the risk. But if I'm travelling with family I'll usually avoid them.

- talldan 9y agoI agree with this, at my work we fly regularly between London and Oslo, and some of the delays experienced have been incredible. On Friday I flew from Oslo to London, and the earlier flight was delayed for over 6 hours (they were still there at the gate when we took off). Our flight was an over an hour late and they had no food on board. Colleagues have experienced cancelled flights and delays of over 12 hours a few times. Despite that, there aren't many better alternatives. Ryanair are similarly unreliable and others are expensive.
