Norwegian Air Business Class
IMPORTANT: Norwegian Air Shuttle ended all long-haul international operations and retired its entire Boeing 787 fleet in January 2021, following COVID-19 financial restructuring — over 5 years ago. The airline now operates exclusively short/medium-haul European routes on an all-Boeing-737 fleet with an all-economy cabin layout. There is no business class, no premium cabin, no widebody aircraft, and no transatlantic service of any kind currently. We are not able to book Norwegian business class for any route, because that product no longer exists. If you're researching Scandinavian carriers for a transatlantic or long-haul premium-cabin trip, consider SAS instead — see our SAS page.

Is Norwegian Air currently bookable?
Norwegian Air Shuttle ended all long-haul international operations and retired its Boeing 787 fleet in January 2021. It now operates exclusively short-haul European routes with an all-economy cabin (no business class product exists). This is a permanent business-model change, not a temporary suspension. Consider SAS for Scandinavian premium-cabin long-haul travel instead.

Founded in 1993, Norwegian Air is headquartered in Norway and operates to 105+ destinations across 80+ countries. The fleet is built around Boeing 737-800 and Boeing 737 MAX 8 for long-haul operations, with additional narrowbody types on regional routes. Norwegian Air operates independently of major global alliances, with select bilateral partnerships for codesharing.
The business class experience
No premium cabin — Norwegian operates all-economy since its 2021 long-haul exit features N/A — no business or premium cabin exists; all-economy short-haul European carrier. Seat width is N/A and fully extended bed length is N/A — comfortable for passengers up to about 6'3" (190cm) to sleep fully flat. The seat layout on Norwegian Air's long-haul widebody aircraft typically offers direct aisle access for every business class passenger, so you never have to climb over a seatmate.
In-flight entertainment is delivered via N/A. Dining on Norwegian Air: Standard short-haul buy-onboard service (historical Scandinavian-inspired long-haul dining no longer applicable). Baggage allowance in business class: 2 × 32kg checked (historical, may not reflect current short-haul fare rules). All flights include amenity kits, premium bedding, and priority boarding/baggage handling.
Lounges and ground experience
At the home hub: No lounge product — short-haul, all-economy carrier. At other airports worldwide: N/A. Lounge access is included with your business class ticket — you show your boarding pass at the lounge entrance and receive food, drinks, WiFi, and dedicated workspaces until boarding time.
On the ground at departure, Norwegian Air business class passengers get dedicated check-in counters, fast-track security lanes where available, and priority boarding. At arrival, baggage is tagged with priority labels and comes out first — typically saving 15-30 minutes versus economy on heavily-loaded flights.
What travelers say
“We're flagging this plainly rather than presenting a 5-year-defunct long-haul product as current: Norwegian has no business class of any kind since its January 2021 long-haul exit. It is now a short-haul, all-economy European carrier only. For premium-cabin Scandinavian travel, look at SAS or a connecting hub carrier instead.”
