Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend that you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency, such as Orbitz or Expedia, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. However, if you’re using the American Express Platinum Card, you’ll need to book directly with the airline or through the Amex Travel portal to get 5x MR points. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz or Expedia’s courtesy cancellation if you’re unable to get the time away from work or family.
London can often be a pricy destination to fly to — especially from the West Coast. While some round-trip economy flights can be upwards of $1,000, Norwegian's offering fares from several cities for under $500 round-trip. We're seeing fares to London (LGW) from New York (JFK), Boston (BOS), Los Angeles (LAX) and Oakland (OAK) starting from just $363! There's plenty of availability from now through April 2017, and even better, these are nonstop flights on the carrier's comfortable 787 Dreamliner.
Note that Norwegian will add fees for just about everything from checked bags to in-flight food, so your fare could be a little higher than what you see when you go to book. If you're looking for more perks included in the ticket price, you can try out Norwegian's premium product, which includes larger seats, lounge access, free checked bags, seat assignment and meals.
