Norwegian continues the expansion of its long-haul network by launching the UK’s only direct flights to Oakland, California from Gatwick.

From 12 May, Norwegian will commence the new year-round service with fares available from £159 one way. The three-times weekly service will depart from Gatwick at 13.35 on Mondays, and at 13.00 on Thursdays and Sundays, arriving in Oakland - San Francisco at 16.35 and 16.00 respectively. The route will be served by a Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft with two cabins on board – Premium and economy. Oakland - San Francisco becomes Norwegian’s seventh US destination from Gatwick following the recent launch of direct flights to Boston. Thomas Ramdahl, Chief Commercial Officer at Norwegian said:

“Over half a million UK passengers have flown transatlantic with Norwegian and now we’re putting on even more great value flights to the US. With direct low-cost services to Oakland and LA on the west coast and New York and Boston on the east, passengers can also consider fly-drive options with our affordable one way fares. We’re continuing to provide Brits with cheaper and easier access to more parts of the US by flying passengers in high-quality comfort in the newest aircraft.”
