Flying across the Atlantic Ocean is not an easy task for airlines. The jet fuel required for long-haul flights is not cheap – fueling a trans-Atlantic flight costs at least $27,000, and can cost over $100,000. Long-hauls require more staff than short-hauls, necessitate serving multiple meals, and must be flown on larger planes. All of these costs add up to a sum that budget airlines are often not able to swallow. As such, few of them boast overseas routes that last. One exception is Norse Atlantic, a Norwegian-based budget airline that specializes in doing just that. Finding good deals on the airline’s flights will be easier than ever in 2025, thanks to Norse finally listing its flights on SkyScanner and other third-party online travel agencies.
