Norse Atlantic Airways Baggage Fees (2026)
Quick summary
Norse Atlantic is a Norwegian long-haul low-cost carrier flying transatlantic routes. The cheapest Economy Light and Premium Light fares include only a personal item and a carry-on bag - no checked baggage. Higher fares (Classic, Flextra) bundle a 23kg checked bag. Because it is a low-cost long-haul model, always add checked bags online: airport prices are far higher than prepaid.

How to avoid extra fees
- The Light fare is a trap for the unprepared - it includes only a carry-on. If you need a suitcase, price the Classic fare against Light plus a paid bag; Classic is often cheaper.
- Prepay checked bags online during or after booking - the airport rate roughly doubles (about $75 online vs about $130 at the airport for a 23kg bag).
- Economy carry-on is capped at 10 kg; Premium allows 15 kg. Weigh your cabin bag at home to avoid a gate-check charge.
- Personal item must fit under the seat at 40 x 30 x 15 cm - a large backpack will not qualify and may be treated as your carry-on.
- Total checked-bag dimensions cannot exceed 320 cm (126 in) L+W+H; bags over 250 cm (98 in) need Customer Care approval at least 48 hours before departure.
- Overweight bags are billed per kilogram, so redistribute weight between bags rather than paying a heavy-bag upgrade at the counter.
- A 32kg heavy bag prepaid online (about $170) is cheaper than paying overweight fees on a 23kg allowance if you know you will exceed 23 kg.
