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 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.

The incredibly-cheap transatlantic Norwegian Air Shuttle deals continue! Today we're seeing flights from New York's JFK to Oslo (OSL) or Stockholm (ARN) for as low as US$195. Plus, not only are the fares incredibly cheap, but you can also maximize your time off from work on some dates. All of the itineraries below depart Friday night and return the next Sunday night, so you'll be out for just 5 work days. But make sure to wear a heavy coat on-board so you don’t take up valuable bag space, as these cheap flights are found in the dead of winter.

The easiest way to get a lower price is to use the Google Flights “separate tickets” feature. For some itineraries, Google Flights will prompt you to book the outbound and inbound segments separately. One will book through the US version of the site, while the other through a foreign site (in our example it’s the Swedish version). However, to save even more, you can find a low-priced itinerary on Google Flights and then head to the Norwegian or Swedish version of the carrier’s site and input your dates directly. Booking flights solely from the international websites is a reliable way of saving even more when booking Norwegian Air Shuttle flights.
