Norse Atlantic Airways Forms Deal with Spirit Airlines

Norse Atlantic Airways announced a virtual interline agreement, powered by Dohop, with Spirit Airlines.

The new arrangement, oddly announced today, will provide over 600 weekly connections to Norse’s transatlantic services at key international hubs in New York, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Los Angeles, Oslo, London and Berlin.  Norse Atlantic says their partnership with Spirit will “provide even greater choice for customers looking to travel between the US and Europe” as new destinations such as Las Vegas, Dallas, Nashville and Salt Lake City become accessible via Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando and Los Angeles.

Today Norse Atlantic also announced the same type of partnership with Norwegian Airlines and easyJet.

“Since the launch of Norse Atlantic Airways, we have made long haul transatlantic travel available to all thanks to our affordable fares and exciting destinations. Today, customers can now explore further and connect onto the services of our partner airlines across the US and Europe. These agreements will further boost transatlantic travel which will benefit local tourism and businesses on both sides of the Atlantic” said Bjorn Tore Larsen, CEO Norse Atlantic Airways.

Working with Dohop is a bit different than other interline agreements.  Norse will not hold flights for connecting passengers. Connections are subject to up to a 2.5 hour ‘Minimum Connection Time,’ depending on route, affording customers ample time to transfer between flights and terminals. Customers will need to pass through customs and re-check their own baggage before a connecting flight. Should a passenger miss a connecting flight, Dohop will transfer them to the next available flight.

Norse Atlantic offers two cabin choices, Economy and Premium. Passengers can choose from a simple range of fares, Light, Classic and Plus, that reflect the way that they want to travel, and which options are important to them. Light fares represent Norse’s value option while Plus fares include the maximum baggage allowance, two meal services an enhanced airport and onboard experience and increased ticket flexibility.

The large and spacious Boeing 787 Dreamliner cabin offers passengers a relaxed and comfortable travel experience with each seat including a personal state of the art entertainment experience. Our Premium cabin offers an industry leading 43” seat pitch and 12” recline.
