    Have You Brushed up on Your Norwegian Language Skills Lately? You’ll Want to Because You Can Save ~20% on Norwegian Air Flights!

    The trick is to book your tickets on the Norwegian version of the website instead of the US site.

    I’ll explain!

    How to Save up to ~20% on Your Next Norwegian Air Flight

    Link:   Norwegian Air’s US Site

    Link:   Norwegian Air’s Norway Site

    Here’s an easy way to save up to ~20% on your next Norwegian Air flight!

    When you go to Norwegian.com, you can choose your preferred country to view the site.

    Be Norwegian (for a Few Minutes)! If You See This List of Countries, Choose Norway

    Of course, you can go directly to Norwegian Air’s home website, which is in Norwegian.

    Don’t Worry About the Language Barrier. Simply Use Google Chrome or Google Translate. Or Follow Along on the US Version of the Site

    If you use Google Chrome as your browser, the website will be automatically translated for you.  You can also copy and paste the text into Google Translate.  Or you can simply open up a new tab and repeat each step on both versions of the website.

    This simple trick only takes a few minutes at most!  And you can save ~20% on your flights.

    Let’s look at an example.

    I looked up flights from New York to Oslo, Norway, in February 2016 on the US version of the Norwegian Air website.

    ~$327 Round-Trip to Europe Is an Incredible Deal! This Couldn’t Possibly Get Any Better…or Could It?

    Despite the fact that it will be very cold and dark there in February, ~$327 is an incredible price for a round-trip flight to Europe!

    Then, I ran the exact same search on the Norwegian version of the site…

    The Same Flights Cost 2,318 Norwegian Krone
    …and got a price of 2,318 Norwegian Krone.

    So what does that mean?

    It Means You Save Money! You’ll Pay ~$261 for Your Flights

    Converted to US dollars, you’ll pay ~$261 when you book on the Norwegian version of the site.  

    Compare that to the ~$327 you’d pay on the US version of Norwegian’s website.  It’s ~20%, or $66, less!

    If you bought tickets for 2 people, or for a family, the savings would add up fast!

    Does This Work on Other Routes?

    From New York – JFK, you can fly to 6 destinations non-stop, and ~60 destinations if you add a connection.

    Norwegian Flies Direct to 4 European Cities, and 2 in the French Caribbean From New York JFK

    I tested the currency conversion trick on flights from New York to Martinique in the French Caribbean in February 2016, when the average daily temperature in Martinique is ~80 degrees.  A nice break from winter!

    I found non-stop flights for ~$257 round-trip in coach on the US version of the website.

    The same flights cost ~$245 on the Norwegian version of the website.  A savings of ~$12!

    That’s ~5% off.  It’s not as much of a difference as the flights to Europe, but you’ll still save a little when you book through Norway’s Norwegian site.  And I never say no to saving money – especially when it’s this easy!

    When you find flights that work for you, go through the booking process like usual.  Enter your name, credit card, and passport information.  The only difference is the transaction will be in Norwegian.  Everything else is the same, except for the final price!

    Save More by Having Flexible Dates and Avoiding Fees

    To see the lowest fares each month, visit the Norwegian Air Low Fare Calendar.

    You can often save a lot of money if you’re flexible with your dates.

    And keep in mind, Norwegian Air charges lots of fees for things like checked baggage, seat assignments, and more.  So this deal is even better if you can pack light.

    Make Sure to Pay With the Right Card

    Because you’ll being paying in a foreign currency (in this case, Norwegian Krone), use a card that earns bonus points on airfare AND has no foreign transaction fees!

    When you avoid foreign transaction fees, it’s almost like getting another discount!

    Bottom Line

    Save up to ~20% on Norwegian Air flights when you book on Norway’s version of the website and pay in Norwegian Krone.

    With the currency conversion, you’ll pay much less than if you book on the US website and pay in US dollars.  You’ll save the most on flights to Europe, but this trick works on other routes, like New York (JFK) to the French Caribbean.

    Because you’ll pay in a foreign currency, use a card that doesn’t charge foreign transaction fees like the Chase Sapphire Preferred or Citi ThankYou Premier.

    This trick will add only a minute or 2 to the booking process.  But to save up to 20%, it’s well worth it to learn a few words in Norwegian! 😉
