Late night flight
The best bonuses
The schedules are not really the best since the flight Will depart Rome at 7:30 p.m. and land at JFK at 11 p.m., the return flight will depart JFK at 01:00 a.m. and land in Rome at 3:45 p.m. Given the time for customs and transfer unlikely to arrive in Manhattan before 1 a.m., sure the New York subway is open h24, but it is not the best to get around at that hour with luggage and children. In contrast, the return flight is perfect because leaving in the middle of the night allows 100% to enjoy the last day in the Big Apple.
"We are very pleased to announce that Rome is our fifth capital city in Europe offering a direct Norse Atlantic Airways flight to New York JFK. Customers on both sides of the Atlantic will enjoy value, excellent in-flight service and comfort as they travel between these two culturally vibrant and exciting cities. The addition of Rome to our network will provide another gateway to Europe and strengthen our presence in New York," said Bjorn Tore Larsen, CEO of Norse Atlantic Airways.
"We are more than happy to welcome Norse Atlantic Airways to Rome Fiumicino," - said Ivan Bassato, Chief Aviation Officer of Aeroporti di Roma. "This new direct flight to New York JFK will complement the overall offer between the two cities with an evening outbound service that will enrich our customers' travel options. In choosing Rome FCO, Norse Atlantic Airways is yet another new airline that has recognized the operational excellence of our airport and the great attractiveness of our market, as confirmed by North American traffic flows that are expected to exceed pre-Covid levels."
Tickets on sale but overpriced
Norse Atlantic operates exclusively with Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft with two layouts, Economy and Premium. The Premium cabin configuration features seats with a 43-inch pitch and a 12-inch recline. Light fares are Norse's value option, while Plus fares include a maximum baggage allowance, two meal services, an enhanced airport and on-board experience, and greater ticket flexibility.
Tickets are already on sale, but definitely out of the market, as prices start at 943 $ for a light fare round trip ticket that does not even include trolley to be checked into cabin, no flexibility, no choice of seat or lunch on board. Price going up about 200$ if you add luggage and lunch.
The seat ranges in cost from 35$ to 120 each way and that must be added to the ticket price.
In the past we have seen offers for tickets as low as 105$ one way, here at this figure is definitely competitive certainly not at 1000€ round trip.
