Norwegian Bag Carry On Policy

Hey there, fellow traveler! Grab a seat, let's chat about something that's been on my mind lately - Norwegian Air's carry-on policy. You know, just in case you're planning to hop on one of their flights and don't want any nasty surprises at the gate.

So, what's the deal with Norwegian's carry-on?

First things first, Norwegian has two types of fares: LowFare and LowFare+. Now, you might be thinking, "What's the difference? Is it like choosing between regular or diet soda?" Well, sort of. The main difference is what you can bring on board for free.

LowFare - The Bare Bones

If you've gone for the LowFare option, you're traveling light, my friend. You can bring one small bag on board, no bigger than 25 x 33 x 20 cm (that's about the size of a small handbag or a tiny suitcase). It should fit under the seat in front of you. Anything bigger, and you'll have to pay a fee at the airport. Ouch!

LowFare+ - The Perks of Life

Now, if you've splashed out on a LowFare+ ticket, you're living large. You can bring one large bag on board, up to 55 x 40 x 23 cm, plus that same small bag. That's right, you can bring two bags! It's like having your cake and eating it too. Just remember, the large bag has to fit in the overhead bin, so no trying to squeeze in a wardrobe or a grand piano.

But wait, there's more! With LowFare+, you also get a checked bag included in your fare. So, you can pack all your stuff and not worry about weight limits. It's like they're saying, "Go on, treat yourself!"

Now, about that weight limit...

You might be thinking, "That's all well and good, but how much can I actually pack in these bags?" Well, Norwegian has a weight limit too. For the small bag, it's 10 kg (that's about 22 pounds, for our imperial friends), and for the large bag, it's 15 kg (33 pounds). So, you can leave the kitchen sink at home, yeah?

Oh, and one more thing - if you're traveling with a musical instrument, you'll need to pay a fee, no matter what fare you've booked. Sorry, rockstars. But hey, at least you can still bring your guitar on board, right?

So, what's the verdict?

Well, it's all about what you need and what you're willing to pay for. If you're a light packer, LowFare might be just the ticket. But if you like to travel with a bit more, LowFare+ could be your new best friend. Just remember, the key to happy travels is knowing what you're getting into before you get to the airport. Trust me, I've been there with the sad face emoji when they told me my bag was too big. No one wants that.

Anyway, that's enough about carry-on bags. Let's talk about something more exciting, like where you're off to next! Safe travels, my friend!
