Norwegian Announces Three New Routes From Florida to Europe, One-Way Flights From $205

Low-cost carrier Norwegian continues to expand its foothold in the US even though it faces serious financial issues. The airline announced yesterday that it will be launching three new routes between Florida and Europe:

• Fort Lauderdale (FLL) to Madrid (MAD)
• Fort Lauderdale (FLL) to Rome (FCO)
• Orlando (MCO) to Stockholm (ARN)

Norwegian will operate year round bi-weekly service from Fort Lauderdale to Rome and Madrid, with the flights launching on October 30. Schedules are as follows:

• DY7038 Fort Lauderdale (FLL) 11:30pm Departure → Rome (FCO) 1:50pm (+1) Arrival

• DY7752 Madrid (MAD) 1:10pm Departure → Fort Lauderdale (FLL) 4:45pm Arrival

Orlando-Stockholm flights will only operate in the winter (ostensibly to ferry Swedes to sunny Florida during the country's ice-cold winters) and twice-weekly service will begin on October 30 and end March 29, 2019. The schedule is as follows:

Once the new flights start, Norwegian will operate 13 total routes between the sunshine state and Europe.

Boeing 787 Dreamliners will carry travelers between the destinations, although with the aircraft's engine problems, the carrier has had to switch out some of its equipment for wetleased 747s and 777s. Norwegian's Dreamliners have two cabins, premium and economy. Premium is laid out in a 2-3-2 configuration.

In economy you'll find seats with 31 inches of pitch set up in a 3-3-3 layout.

One-way flights to Rome and Madrid start at $205 in economy and $574 in premium, and one-way flights to Stockholm start at $210 in economy and $890 in premium.

Norwegian is also adjusting its frequencies on some routes, making two routes summer only service:

• Fort Lauderdale to Paris (CDG) service will increase from two flights per week to four flights per week as of October 28, 2018.
• Los Angeles (LAX) to Paris service will increase from five flights per week to daily flights as of October 28, 2018.
• Oakland (OAK) to Paris service will decrease from five flights per week to three flights a week as of October 30, 2018.
• Oakland to Rome service will become a summer seasonal service, with last flight departing October 26, 2018.
• Los Angeles to Stockholm service will become a summer seasonal service, with last flight departing October 26, 2018.
