Understanding Your Baggage Allowance
Hand Luggage
Every traveller flying with Norwegian is entitled to bring one carry-on bag in the cabin, free of charge. Make sure it fits within the dimensions of 55 x 40 x 23 cm and doesn't weigh more than 10 kg for Flex, Premium, and PremiumFlex tickets or 8 kg for LowFare, LowFare+, and Premium tickets on long-haul flights. This should fit neatly in the overhead compartment or under the seat in front of you.

Checked Baggage

Excess Baggage Fees: Exceeding your weight allowance can incur significant fees, so it's crucial to weigh your bags before heading to the airport. Fees vary depending on the route and can be checked on Norwegian's official website.
Tripp’s Recommendation:
Consider our Holiday 7 collection, for suitcases which are not only lightweight but also robust to ensure your belongings are protected whilst sticking within weight restrictions.

Planning on skiing in Tromsø or serenading in Bergen? Special baggage like sports equipment and musical instruments can usually be taken in addition to your checked baggage, subject to space availability and additional charges. These items require prior approval from the airline, so be sure to arrange this at least 48 hours before your flight.
Travelling With Infants Or Pets
Norwegian also offers considerations for those flying with infants or pets. Infants under two years of age are allowed one additional bag (up to 5 kg) on all flights. Small pets may travel in the cabin on most flights within Europe, provided they are kept in an appropriate carrier.
