Oh and JLIC of course. Norway is such a wonderful country.

My Dad collapsed on Norwegian flight back from our family skiing trip to Norway in Feb. I cannot thank the staff enough for their care and the pilots who got us into Gatwick pronto. Used them loads before as they are simply the best LCC in my book.

I can only imagine what it would have been like on a Ryanair flight, not to say the staff would not have been as concerned but I expect their resources would have been far inferior.

He has made a full recovery.

Norwegian are great, good bonus points and excess baggage charges are sensible. Also when you have a problem you can speak to a human.

Ryanair are a state, RR banned us from using them due to such high excess charges and lots of extra fees.

Dave!

Perhaps the best. Seriously. And I've been to what feels like most of them!

I haven't flown Norwegian, sounds like a good excuse though



I thought I'd already posted this but couldn't find it;

Remember when BA used to be a significantly better LCC alternative, usually the same price as EasyJet or RyanAir but with food and drink included. Not so anymore, sadly

'til they take your kids off you.

I was about to type that this morning but thought "nah! Probably not the place to get into the darker side of Norway"

Then this popped up this evening on the BBC. Spooky.

I don’t wish to belittle your dads issuses but what resources did Norwegian have that Ryanair wouldn’t?

My colleague had 270acres of land taken off him, was paid a fraction of what it was worth and then had to fight so they didn't have rights over his final 30 acres. It's a very leftist government and a lot of Norwegians are worried about the future.

A large number of the younger generation don't realise how much money the oil industry makes and thinks the government will always have lots of cash and the meany oil industry should build wid farms and fluffy bunny farms instead.

Dave!

Everyone here thinks Scandinavia is some sort of heaven where life is chill and easy and everyone is wealthy. No it fucking ain’t, in Sweden you’re taxed up to the fucking eyeballs, the government just take your land if they decide they want to mine it and unfortunately demand in lithium batteries means lots of cobalt mines opening. Not that it even matters as any fucker can walk through your land - Allemansrätt. Always interesting waking up and seeing someone just camping for a week 100 metres away from your door. You can’t own a nice car without getting it keyed and splurging just seems frowned up as it’s such a conservative country. The immigration problem is the last straw because at least amongst all the shit you could say that the low population and high taxes meant they had some of the best public schools, public transport, healthcare and low crime but that’s all crumbled too...

Very interesting Mito...

A mate of a mate lives in Norway and has a similar opinion. Fantastic on the surface but you don't have to scratch down far etc.

Last resort was these fuckers to get us to portugal next month and I was willing to pay lots more cept no flights for our dates.

I'll no doubt update on how they have ruined our lives again soon

Flight not yet cancelled !

Their 2nd laptop sized bag option seems like its a very small laptop bag.

Oh - so we don't all fly Emirates Business then?

We would if we all lived on our own...

Ah it was an upgrade on miles, I was just fishing for a Broccering. And I don't live alone, I live with two cats and an ever-present feeling of self-hate so ner

Only BA business*... teh shame.

* Ok, only once but it was this year.

Emirates Business has improved significantly since I last flew with them... (*)

(*) in 2003

Yep the 380 was a bit of a gamechanger.
