i just saw an incredible $784 round trip (BOS-VCe, Rome-Bos) via Skyscanner. I've never seen Norwegian Airlines in my results before. Any personal feedback on their quality, on-time, safety, etc?

I've only flown them short-haul, but have done so a few times. They are quite civilized for a budget carrier and they have new 787s on their long-haul routes. Seating looks cramped, but not egregiously so.

That being said, they are a low-cost carrier, so make sure to add up all the stuff you might want to utilize - checked luggage, seat reservation, food, etc. - to ensure you are actually getting a deal. I'd also be a little nervous about how well they might handle irregular operations, especially given they don't fly the same routes ex-BOS every day.

Good points. My gut is nervous too, so I should probably look for the next best option. Although it seems like many folks don't like the other lower-price carriers I've been seeing- Alitalia and United.

Aer Lingus had worked for me before, but the layovers aren't good...yet.

Knowing my luck, no matter what I pick, these flights could all have time changes by the time our May 2016 flight rolls around.

I've flown from LAX to Bergen, Norway on Norwegian Airlines. The price was unbelievable. The flight was comfortable, the food normal airline fare, and I'd fly them again.

Decided not to try it with 6 people flying, in case something happened and we were split up. But I would definitely try them if it were just me flying.
