Transatlantic for $69 plus tax one way??
Norwegian Air to offer Upstate NY to Ireland flights. (www.poughkeepsiejournal.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
How much for the flight back? Baggage fees?
And who wants to be squeezed in for 8 hours on a high density B737 just to save a few bucks?
My sense is that it may be more than a few bucks. BUT the all in cost (getting there and back to Stewart, more than a few drinks prior to and on the flight to take the ease the cramming effects, a checked bag or two, etc) will have to be factored in. BUT there may be the purists that just has to get their a@@ to Europe and they may profit from the opportunity. ex: students.
You are right, there are lots of "ancillary costs" to add to the equation. Also, most of these low cost airlines have extremely well-thought out baggage fees (well-thought out for them of course). By the time you add all up, there is not enough of a difference in price to justify the 8 hour torture in a B737 with 186 passengers.
Maybe they're targetting, among others, those budget minded folks who drive clear across town to save $.03/gal for a 10 gal fillup.
Shhh Joel...you will make those folks have to do the math
Not just that, Wolfgang, but I am not flying in a tin can that is having its flight envelope pushed to almost max unless Norwegian plans on stopping in YYT to top up.
If they do, they will bill you for the gas stop.
LOL...very witty but probably true Joel
YYT because you want to order a meal of cod-tongues to go?
Probably only meal we got...that plus be nice to get it refuelled
I understood the refuelling of course, but Imagine the smell of a couple of cod tongues for your inflight meal....
