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.
