It was cheaper to repaint, retrain, and start a new branch of the airline then to sue you.
-
When I was a Captain for Norwegian I think I ran across the character who threatened to sue you, my interaction with him was also distasteful. I won’t talk about it on the internet as you might guess his reaction.
-
The cease and desist notice was interpreted the other way around and they ceased and desist.

"Told them to go shove it" lol i love it....

Shame on them sending you a letter like that. You’re always polite in your reviews. They need to get over themselves. Oh but wait…they went out of business. 😊
-
Just to correct: Norwegian didn't go bust. They shut down their long haul department, because they lost too much money on it. Norwegian is still flying short haul in Europe (you can even see one of their planes at approximately 6:16 in the video). Yes, they are flying Norwegian's old planes, prabably because they were available on the market.

As most people should know by now, you get the dreaded SSSS on your boarding pass and extra screening when there is something unusual about your travel circumstance. It is often because you bought a one-way ticket, bought your ticket at the last minute, or paid cash for your flight.

I flew Norse premium in July 2023 from JFK>OSL - all Oslo based crew and when I told them I had just done a marathon itinerary BNE>CBR>SYD>CGK>DOH>JFK they looked after me super well, moved me to a quieter spot in the cabin etc etc. Their service was the best I’ve ever had on a low cost carrier and was on par with QR/QF business service. Not to mention the flight was only $550USD!

Noel, I really appreciate and enjoy your content. I’ve got a brain injury so sometimes it’s difficult for me to process and understand things. The way you explain and describe things is absolutely fantastic. It’s done in such a way that it allows those “loops” to be closed. Thank you for the time, effort, energy and passion you put into your work. It’s so appreciated! Cheers!

Just a random fact, I really love that their call sighn is "Longboat" very cool !
-
Noel--you're most kind and charitable for describing the Norse flight as "good value for money!" @ $1700, the food was sketchy (I note the hockey-puck "quiche" for example) and the lavatory worse so! Seat looked decent, though, so there's that! cheers until the next one!

One problem with Norse is that it's constantly changing its schedules, axing routes, destinations and so on. It means travellers who book months ahead may be inconvenienced. I mean Boston and Washington DC were supposed to restart this summer but are now cancelled. Norse's Caribbean network from LGW has been cut back substantially since plans were first announced months ago.

1:45 Pretending he was just handed his drink 😂

I'm really glad YouTube recommended your channel to me. It's been a joy to watch.

Can I just say that time lapse of the potato chips inflating was just a beautiful piece of cinematography! (in Oz We call everything chips)
-
11:50 is an MD-80 that was originally delivered to Alaska Airlines in 1990!

"That's suspicious" had me laugh out loud in my office... haha
-
Wow, what a rude woman on check in.
-
Norwegian still exists, but during covid they scaled down to domestic flights within Norway, and regional flights within Europe. Norse bought Norwegian's planes and started their trans Atlantic routes. It is a different company, and both are Norwegian companies.

That sausage and crisps looked amazing, but the Nando’s behind you really had me drooling! Thanks for another great video!
