Norwegian will initiate nonstop service to Europe from three new North American airports including, John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport; Miami International Airport; and San Francisco International Airport on Sunday, March 31; as well as additional service from Boston Logan International Airport. For the first time, Norwegian will be operating at Miami and San Francisco airports to offer direct flights at affordable fares to London, while Boston will commence a nonstop route to Rome. All new U.S routes will be served by the state-of-the-art 787 Dreamliner, while a Boeing 737-800 will operate Norwegian’s first transatlantic route from Canada.

“We are continuously reinforcing Norwegian’s commitment to the U.S. as this is one of our most important markets. Transatlantic low fares resonate very well with both American leisure and business travelers, especially when matched with our award-winning inflight experience. Our new routes and increased frequencies will make us even more competitive while offering Americans more options and more ways to save and enjoy travel,” said Bjørn Kjos, Founder and CEO of Norwegian.

The new service from Boston to Rome will operate four times a week, with fares starting at $299.90 in Economy and $779.90 in Premium one way, inclusive of tax. Norwegian currently operates nonstop flights from Boston to London and Paris. On May 2, the airline will also launch a nonstop route from Boston to Madrid.

Miami and San Francisco will officially be the new home of Norwegian’s nonstop route to London starting this weekend as the service was previously operated from Fort Lauderdale and Oakland airports, respectively. Miami to London begins as a daily service while San Francisco will offer flights five times a week. Economy fares to London from Miami and San Francisco start as low as $159.90 one-way, including tax. Premium fares are available as low as $719.90 from both U.S. cities, one-way, including tax.

Norwegian is committed to growth in the Bay Area, with seven nonstop routes to Europe operating from its two leading airports, Oakland and San Francisco. The airline’s footprint has grown dramatically in the past five years, as it celebrates a milestone anniversary on April 1st at Oakland International Airport.

Additionally, the inaugural flight from John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport to Dublin takes off this Sunday. The airline’s first-ever transatlantic route from Canada will be summer seasonal, with flights operating four times weekly on a Boeing 737-800. Fares to Dublin start as low as C$209 one-way including tax and are available to book on Norwegian.com/en-ca.
