Appalling company. They overbook flights so you risk not getting on the flight you booked. My flight had seven people on standby because they overbooked. Two of us didn't make it on. Then to add insul... See more

Avoid
No medicine on the flights and they overbook the flights.
I missed my flight because it was overbooked. I'm left stranded in a different city and they offer little support
This airline IS NOT WORTH the reduced flight cost.
Horrendous airline
Horrendous airline. Lost luggage and eventually returned it damaged.
Useless customer service who did not reimburse for emergency items, damaged case or compensate for inconvenience of being in cruise for a week with just the clothes on my back. Chased multiple times to no avail.
Staff incompetent and unapologetic .
DO NOT FLY Norwegian Airlines!!!!!
I wish I had known…. This is the worst airline I have ever travelled on in all 50 years!
From the moment it came to boarding and they didn’t announce a gate until 10 minutes before shutting the gate, I should have known this was a bad sign…
On the plane, the tray was covered in food from the journey before, the seats were feeble and spartan, the plane landing literally the scariest I’ve had out of hundreds, as it hit the rainy runway and then felt like it had lost control and we burnt rubber all the way down the runway!
But it’s the loss of our luggage that really makes this experience tragic. We are on day 3 out of 5 of our holiday. They have ‘located’ 2 bags but not the 3rd, and said they would sent them but 24 hrs later we still have nothing. We all have medication in our bags (never had a problem before so didn’t think about not putting in hold luggage!) and are miserable. Norwegian airlines couldn’t care a bit. The phone line is a joke and they just lie to get you off the phone.
If there's a minus rating
If there's a minus rating, I would give one!
Bad service.. website reporting for damage luggage was functional but zero.response despite sending messages and enail via contact centre. In the end, issue was NOT resolved.
Great Airline
A super airline with modern aircraft and lovely crew. I recently flew to Stockholm with them and back from Copenhagen. One criticism, the on-board food needs improvement, but hey, this is a budget airline and budget prices. Take your own sandwiches on board and buy a cup of tea and you're set to go!
Norwegian definitely deserves a better rating.
I booked some flights I paid cash, got refunded in points that I could never use, which then expired.
I booked some flights to New York some years ago. For some reason, I didn't fly and was refunded in credit / points - not in cash, despite attempting to be refunded in cash, which was the original payment method.
Some time down the line, I changed city (moved from London to Zurich) plus the connection to New York ceased to be operated. In fact, Norwegian doesn't serve many airports / destinations any more and it's extremely difficult to make use of my credits.
I also realised now that my credits, worth c. £250, just vanished as of 2024 as they expired.
If this isn't robbery of my money then what is it?
I paid cash, got refunded in points that I could never use, which then expired.
Denied boarding
My boarding pass said Alex when my passport says Alexandra. The person on the gate was incredibly rude, she rang the ticket line to ask if it could be changed but it was refused. I was denied boarding and I had to then pay for a new ticket later in the day. I tried to call their assistance line and the wait was 45 minutes. The lady at the gate was also very rude to the people behind me who were travelling with a young baby.
The worst experience ever!!!
The airline damaged the suitcase, lost them, told to pick them up in a completely different city than the place of residence. An additional 160 eur was paid for the suitcase both ways, because it did not match the measurements but on the way back we had to pay an additional 60 eur, because they did not mark it in the system. It was the worst experience, all the main things, clothes, gifts were in the suitcase. Even one star for this airline is too much. Also the prices for couple kg overweight suitcase are cosmic! This airline employs are also no big help at all.
As other people have stated
As other people have stated, their customer service is the worst I have ever experienced in dealing with any company in any field. Something we are not used to in this country. Unless they address that vital issue I do not see much future for them.
In 2020 I paid them £829.80 for return flights to the USA from London. The flights were cancelled due to COVID. Due to illness I was unable to fly at a later date when normal flights were resumed which I explained to their customer services. Despite numerous requests they have not refunded my money. In desperation I wrote to their CEO in Norway explaining the situation 3 weeks ago. I have not received a reply or even an acknowledgement. This speaks volumes as to why their customer service further down the line is as it is. Unbelievable arrogance.
Unfortunately I am left with only one alternative, to apply for a a judgement against them.
One of the worst airline in Europe and…
One of the worst airline in Europe and with zero customer support. Our connecting flight was delayed from Rovaniemi to Helsinki and as a result we missed the connection at Helsinki Airport. I went to Norwegian helpdesk to find a super unfriendly lady who told that it is our problem that we missed the flight and there is nothing she or Norwegian Airlines could do. That is happening in Europe! And first time in our travelling experiences.
When I demand a reasonable solution and response from Norwegian Airlines, the customer support counter lady threatened me to call airport security. Bravo Norwegian Airlines. Keep it up. You will be grounded soon.
We had to purchase a new ticket from Finnair spending another £700 on the spot to avail our rest of the journey leg between Helsinki to London Heathrow. Listen Norwegian, I am taking legal advice and you should be ready for a legal fight. That is the path I will drag this airlines into. We already suffered and this should not happen to any other travelers. The situation that evening in Helsinki was stressful for both my wife and I. I will see the end of this ordeal. Never ever fly with Norwegian, if you don't have other option other than Norwegian then I will suggest you to grow your own wings, there is a chance you will have a pair of wings than getting any help from Norwegian so called customer support. I hate this airlines from my bones.
WAIT FOR THE LEGAL ACTIONS WHICH IS COMING TO YOUR WAY.
Flight DY1322 Tromso to London Gatwick
Flight DY1322 Tromso to London Gatwick. Due to depart at 06:10. Didnt board until 06:45. No explanation from airside staff. Aircrew arrived after scheduled departure. No reason for this, every passenger managed to get there on time!!! Then instead of boarding the plane linked to our air bridge, we had to trudge through driving snow to another aircraft parked further away. To top it all, the locker above our premium seats in Row 1 were full of aircrew gear. If Mickey Mouse had an airline it would be Norwegian!!! Final note, a passenger with mobility issues was allowed to sit in row 1!
Travelled to Helsinki on Norwegian Luggage Damaged
Travelled to Helsinki on Norwegian. Baggage damaged. Went immediately to report but NO staff on the desk. Lady from next desk told us they are never there but scan the QR code shown and claim online. We did this and completed the form, uploaded images of the damage and told them of our address during our stay to receive replacement. Received a confirmation reference number. Checked the site daily to see if there was any contact. Nothing. tried the link for 'live chat' daily for several day but an unable to talk to a live person. Just standard machine generated replies. Finally managed to talk to person to be told that the reference number given was 'not in our system'. Agent sent me a link to 'try again' This was a different form to complete but strangely, to complete it, I had to use the reference 'not know to system' Finally had mail from customer services saying I was out of time as claims must be made within 7 days. Now, when I reply I get machine generated message. I'm sure the QR code is intentionally linking to a useless but genuine looking claim form. Tried to mail CEO at gier.karlsen@norwegiandotcom but my mail was 'Denied'.
Good Services
Terrible
Terrible. Inefficient. Long lines. Never again, unless a dire emergency
Cheap Airline that will leave you ££££££ out of pocket
Awful customer service - Departments that don't speak to each other and months of waiting for claims to be paid.
Our flight way delayed for 3 hours before being cancelled. The airport staff were dismissive and helpful - They told us they didn't have hotels for us and we should book our own and claim with receipts.
Well, a month on and we are still sat hundreds of pounds out of pocket for missed hotels, an airport hotel and activities missed after a long weekend in Stockholm became less than 24 hours!
We've tried contacting them multiple ways.
Email = no response.
Phone = "not our department"
Chat = "There are no time scales"
Awful support and scammers
Awful support, my flight was cancelled during the pandemia, they not offer any money refund but only rewards after rise all their tickets prices... disgusting. After I booked the fligth due to some unpredictable family issues I had to cancel it and asked for a refund but they never replied my email. So I contacted their chat support and a very arrogant agent didn't help me at all, refuse the refund and even told me ''yeah, we don't use email as first contact''when I told them that I contacted them by email and never got a reply... so why the hell do you put it shown there ''send a ticket to our email'' as possible customer service support? Disgusting, what a bunch of scammers.
PS when I even mentioned about leaving some reviews the agent arrogantly said that they do not care. (and you can see... as mostly all reviews are 1 stars)
Ask for a status on a due claim, and Norwegian will banish you back to the end of the queue!
Norwegian’s socalled Customer Service informed me by phone that - because I called them to ask when I will receive my long due claim from when they lost my luggage from Copenhagen to Stavanger - I am placed at the back of the claims queue just for asking for a status! In effect, this means they can get away with not paying what they owe me - because if I ask for a status, I am punished/banished to the back of the line - and if I don’t ask, nothing happens! Reminds me of Kafka!
My money is two months due - and not a word from Norwegian; no status, nothing. Embarrassing for my fellow Scandi country of Norway.
