Norse Atlantic Airways Business Class

Norse Atlantic Airways is a Norwegian low-cost long-haul carrier operating Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners on transatlantic routes from Europe to the US and Caribbean. The airline positions itself as an affordable alternative to legacy carriers, offering a Premium cabin that provides more space and service than economy without reaching traditional business class standards.

Seat and cabin

The Boeing 787-9 Premium cabin features recliner seats with 43 inches of pitch and a 19-inch width, arranged in a 2-3-2 configuration. Seats recline further than economy but do not convert to a flat bed. Each seat includes a seatback entertainment screen, USB and AC power, and a personal reading light. The cabin occupies the forward section of the aircraft with a dedicated curtain separation from economy. Noise-cancelling headphones and a small amenity kit are provided. The product is better described as an enhanced premium economy than a true business class.

Dining and service

Norse Atlantic includes a meal service in Premium, with options that vary by route. Meals are plated with real crockery and include starter, main course, and dessert alongside complimentary beverages including wine and beer. The menu is simpler than traditional business class offerings from legacy carriers. On some routes, the meal service is supplemented with a buy-on-board menu for additional snacks and premium beverages. Service is friendly and efficient, suited to the low-cost long-haul model.

Lounge experience

Norse Atlantic does not operate branded lounges. Premium passengers do not receive complimentary lounge access as a standard benefit. Passengers can purchase third-party lounge access independently at airports like Gatwick, Oslo, and JFK. The lack of lounge access is consistent with the airline’s low-cost positioning and means the premium experience begins at boarding rather than at the airport.
