Norse Atlantic Airways unveils new route from New York to Rome

Norse Atlantic has announced the launch of a new route from New York (JFK) to the Italian capital city of Rome (FCO). This is the fifth European destination that Norse will fly to and the first in the Italian market, after successful launches in Paris, Oslo, Berlin and London.

The first flight is set to take off from New York to Rome on June 20th at 1:00 am EDT. But you can start planning your summer vacation sooner than that as tickets will be on sale on January 24th. Prices will start as low as $239 (one-way), meaning that you can really do Rome on a budget.

"Rome is such a wonderful destination, and we are thrilled to be able to give Americans the chance to fly there this summer for such a great rate," said Bjorn Tore Larsen, Norse Atlantic Airways CEO. “Norse is giving travelers the chance to jet off to new and exciting places in our ever-comfortable Boeing 787s. Whether traveling for business or pleasure, we hope this gives customers an incentive to finally book that trip to one of the most beautiful cities on earth."

“We are pleased to welcome Norse Atlantic Airways to Rome Fiumicino,” said Ivan Bassato, Chief Aviation Officer of Aeroporti di Roma. “This new direct flight to New York JFK will complete the overall offering between the two cities with an outbound evening service which will enrich our customers’ travel options. By choosing Rome FCO, Norse Atlantic Airways is another new airline that has recognized the operational excellence of our airport and the great attractiveness of our market.”

Norse Atlantic offers two cabin choices, Economy and Premium. Passengers can choose from a simple range of fares - Light, Classic and Plus, that reflect the way they want to travel. Light fares represent Norse’s value option, while Plus fares include the maximum baggage allowance, two meal services, an enhanced airport and onboard experience and increased ticket flexibility.

The large and spacious Boeing 787 Dreamliner cabin offers passengers a relaxed and comfortable travel experience, with each seat including a personal state of the art entertainment experience. Their Premium cabin offers an industry leading 43” seat pitch and 12” recline, allowing passengers to arrive at their destination feeling refreshed and ready to explore.
