How is single use wooden cutlery more sustainable than metal cutlery that can be used literally for 100 years ? 🤦

[@NaenaeGaming]

There’s got to be a little weight saving I suppose, which will save a bit on fuel

[@ashlynadventures912]

Most low cost airlines will use plastic rather than metal cutlery. Also many wooden cutlery will be made of wood that is recycled or from trees that can be easily cut regrown quickly.

[@jimbojimbo6873]

It’s biodegradable

[@benchoflemons398]

I mean, yeah, if the metal gets used for 100 years then sure. But wood is almost always the best choice for the environment.

[@portcybertryx222]

Yeah the production of those biodegradable wooden spoons and their recycling is more harmful to the environment than metal cutlery

[@RN-DNP]

Good, Liam is back! Meanwhile, nice review.

[@hmsagbakken]

As a Norwegian Norse fan, i am happy you liked it. I bought our first Norse flight tickets just a few hours after they opened their home page, and went on their 5th flight, June 18, 2022, to Fort Lauderdale. That was in Economy, but since then i have only been flying Premium with them. Today i flew in premium with another carrier for the first time in my life. It was with Scoot, on their 787-9 from Bali to Singapore. The seats where OK, but the armrests where totaly worn out. and the seatback was to low, and i am only 175cm. I have newer seen a so worn out interior. The curtains to the galley where so dirty they where discusting. The amount of food we got was for children, wery little. The pre departure drink was 1,5 dl of water, and with the food we ordered a 2,5 dl can of Coke zero. They have no onbord entertainment, but Wifi is included in Premium and at an ekstra cost in Eco. How ever it tok realy long time to find out how to conect to wifi and the wifi was realy slow. We are on a South East asian roundtrip, 10 contries, 15 flights with 11 airlines and this was our 10th flight with the 7th airline, and i must say the cleanlines of Scoot is a little bit under Biman Bangladesh, but Biman had much better food service in Economy than Scoot in Premium. Our last flight on this roundtrip will be with Norse from Bangkok to Oslo in 16 days. I am realy looking forward to that experience.

[@jimhearsonwriter]

I flew premium with Norse to LA in November and it was exceptional - I'm 6'4" and I could pretty much do the can-can in my seat, so it's not just good for people who are 5'2"! The crew were fantastic and you can get free booze in premium, which is always fun when you're on holiday. After having had a couple of wines, the FA asked me if I wanted to finish the bottle, as it needed emptying otherwise it would go to waste, so it's not just with the cutlery where they think about that kind of thing. Something to note though is the entertainment selection - it's pretty limited. Best to check out what's available before you go to see if there's stuff you want to watch. I had some Netflix shows to catch up on, so I was fine, but it could've been a long old time had I not downloaded them onto my tablet. Oh, and downloading is essential - unlike Norwegian, who I think were the first low-cost carrier to offer free Wi-Fi - Norse don't have any available on their planes at present.

[@ukdavepianoman]

Now that's my kind of FA !

I work for Norse Atlantic and im glad you enjoyed it!! ❤️

[@yazzy9490]

Hi I just have a quick question for u if u are able to answer it. Im looking to book with Norse and I was curious if I have to pay for meals and a carry-on? Also how do I know if I have access to the overhead bins on a Norse flight because there is a little warning on the first flight saying it may not include access to the overhead compartment?

[@martinolsen007]

@@yazzy9490 I dont work for them. But if you order the economy classic(which is the middle option before premium) you get a carry on and 1 meal for free for the whole ride. If you order both ways you got the same stuff for free.

[@johninsalisbury2010]

They should hire these two to do a commercial for the airline! You don't puff up the plane but talk to everyone like they are going on the trip too. I love this. Wish there were longer videos for these trips. You really feel like you're on the trip.

[@user-ch9if6px6r]

The loos in Prem were so clean!!

[@TechnoLadz]

@fackafackaYes. Because a Baby crying on a flight is the perfect advert and representation of the airline 🙃

Thank you for sharing your flight here.😊

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Yes, that was great both of you had no one seat next to you!!!😊 So nice!!! But I saw a baby girl behind the guy reviewer! Hmm!!! How long will there be kids noise right behind you!!!

[@aeromero1980]

We flew this from JFK-LGW in August and upgraded to PE at the airport for a fraction of the cost. The seats were fantastic and the staff were so friendly. From LGW-JFK we flew economy and still enjoyed it. We did prefer the PE seats. Staff still lovely and my kids were content with entertainment.

[@justmeajah]

That "remove before flight" tag in your backpack is a sign of true aviation geek, Liam! Had one attached to mine as well

[@carolinemaguire1]

Never heard of Norse before! Great review showing the difference between the two levels of service (just missing the cost 😊) Maz is great ! Sign her up Norse for TV advertising 👍

[@christopherulrich3265]

I flew Norse from JFK to Gatwick last year, premium section. VERY impressed! Will be flying them again from Gatwick to JFK this July, premium again. The leg room in premium is massive.

[@sheilamaguire397]

Flew to New York in August on American Airlines. The worst seven hours of my life. Looking at what Norse have to offer in Ecomony, I may well consider them for my future travels to JFK. Maz is a great addition to the team guys 👍

[@benjamincharlton225]

[@Mary_305]

Great content! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@berthebear_real]

As a Norwegian where Norse also has a hub, I must say that our British Norse brothers did excellent.

[@WorldWide_Dom]

Absolutely agree about Norse's Premium Seats feeling like business class, I had the exact same reaction when I flew on Norse. Especially if you fly a lot in the USA you very regularly get the throne style business class seat. Will definitively fly with Norse again, i just wish they would operate from more European airports.

[@stephenhamilton9286]

Not sure that wooden cutlery, plastic wrapped meals served in plastic tubs is more sustainable than silverware?

[@GetOffMyyLawn]

One thing people forget is the energy/water to wash dishes. I am not a super green person, but bio-degradable wood has its benefits.

[@yverose8355]

for those who want flight info, £719 for economy inc 1 meal & 1 checked bag, premium, £1534 and you det 2 meals and 1 checked bag. cheaper on both if you go basic and take off luggage etc

[@jamesthefirst8790]

Thank you for the info... Pretty useless video without this info... Obviously Premium is going to be better than Economy... but how much is the difference in price?... Thanks to you NOW we know...

[@FliVids]

Guys I just wanted to say this review could have been so less impressive and amateur. But no, this review (the first video I have seen from this channel) was very professionally done. It wasn't just like a vlog it was like a proffessional channel who do this all the time. Let me just say I'd be running to the call bell if I see you on one of my flights 😂. Awesome stuff guys thank you for a very proffessional review and keep posting :)))

[@ukdavepianoman]

Very good video but no prices given. I did a random search and Economy/PE were $650 / $1400 respectively (including checked bag). The Premium Economy looked more like the very old bucket seat Business 30 years ago i.e. a very good PE product (interesting that this PE comes with lounge access). All looked great but 11 mins call bell in Economy when the flight was half full was pretty poor. Norse are definitely a good option!

My friend and his wife just took off from Orlando to Gatwick and when he told me they were on Norse, I had to look and see what this was all about since I normally fly American, British, Emirates or Qatar.... I am sure I could fly Premium and be comfortable enough for the 8 hour flight to London... Enjoyed this review, especially the beautiful Maz....

[@ashlynadventures912]

I have been wanting to hear about this for a while. Debated trying out this product

Flew Norse premium recently from LAX to London, was exceptional and a fraction of the cost of BA/VS

[@ethanmccarty3293]

I flew on their inaugural flight last year. It was honestly really good. The food was sub par. But for the price it’s not bad

[@user-ch9if6px6r]

I loved the prem and had three seats. The food was not that tasty but they gave me a G&T and sparkling wine so not complaining.

[@Peter95111]

I flew Norse Premium from Gatwick to SFO and unfortunately it was such an uncomfortable flight. The guy in front of me had his seat "generously reclined" all the way back the entire flight. There was no room for me to relax or to move.

[@edcameron]

I would think disposable wooden cutlery is less sustainable than metal ones. At the end of the day, its nothing compared to being on a flight.

[@77smp]

Before I watch....Norse check in at JFK was a faff but Premium to LGW was sublime :)

[@otstudios6969]

Nice video, norse is better than I thought!

[@AtleLothe]

I've flown with them several times from Norway and so far I've only had amazing experiences with them :) Have only flown Economy and I like it. I'm 181cm tall/low and have enough space. I do not want to try Premium Economy because I know I won't go back to Economy 🤣Here's a foot for scale 🦶

[@scottmcmillan1662]

I loved my Norse premium experience, but there was no lounge at Gatwick included. It;s not clear if Maz paid separtely for it. Overall though I think it;s better than BA WTP!

[@DavidSly-mz5cx]

Hey thanks for the video! My husband and I will be traveling from Gatwick to USA and want to know if I can bring my handbag besides my personal item (large tote bag) and besides the carry on bag without additional cost? I am confused if the handbag would count as personal item or not? Thank you in advance!

[@CongletonMike]

You didn't say how much you paid. I just did a dummy booking comparing Norse with BA in March and found economy was more or less the same at £535 for both and Premium £1163 Norse, £689 BA. Difference is that there are no extra charges on board BA in economy, such as headphones, drinks, second meal etc. So BA is cheaper! on this simple test

[@jameslinderholm493]

Is the seat the same with BA?

[@DavidMorris-yw8jg]

Low cost but no prices given. I just did a random search for next December and BA was cheaper so it’s not a given that the low cost is the cheapest. Kind of defeats the object of a low cost airline.

[@CharlieKF85]

Looking forward to try this premium cabin soon. Don't really understand in what way it's more sustainable to have one time use wooden cutlery instead of silverware though? 🤔 Perhaps she is referring to the minute extra fuel burn due to the additional weight of real silverware... 🧐

[@mrstar666]

I’ve found BA’s premium economy on the LGW-MCO route to be cheaper then Norse.

[@framedman]

What about price? Usually a big point in most of your comparisons.

[@stureece6344]

An “honest” paid review 😂

[@anywherewithphil9841]

I agree, I couldn’t quite make it to the very end because I eventually realized the advertisement was not a one or two minute segment in the video, but rather the entire video. Shame on them for being sellouts, and not warning their audience of the true nature of the advertisement. It was a little sickening that they could hardly find anything negative to say about the actual airline other than the headphones in economy.

[@vehiverycool]

I tried the call bell challenge on KLM, the crew members were very nice but they responded to call bell 27 minutes after I pressed it

[@maxsaviation9512]

I absolutely do not enjoy those auto windows, they don’t block out light fully and unfortunately the crew can dim lock them so we can’t take photos of outside.

[@islakay]

it's true. as soon as you want to bring a suitcase or select a seat, the price doubles

[@rowaystarco]

I honestly have no issue with ear plugs costing extra. Most people have their own plugs or headphones and the free ones are usually awful anyways. Have it as an extra option for the people that forget to bring their own.

[@Peizxcv]

Interior looks really dated. The plane is not that old but the chair and IFE look like older model from the early 2010s’ I’ve also priced out 2 round-trip flights on Norse from New York to Athens and to Bangkok. Once you add on the 10 kg / 22 lb. carry-on, it’s pretty close to the cheapest ticket available from full service airlines. Essentially, you save 10~20% if at all for a huge reduction in service

[@dauts]

"huge reduction" is an overstatement. Flying from the US, norse can save a lot of money and the interior is modern compared to the airlines flying outdated British Airways interiors.
