A couple of days ago I highlighted the excellent fares that Norwegian is currently offering to the USA – starting at under £200 return. Those fares are very good, but something that leapt out even more is the astonishing value you can get booking Norwegian one way fares.

Starting with one of the lesser deals – Boston to London for £89.90:

If that’s a bit pricey, how about New York to Belfast for £71.90?

Ok, still a bit dear – New York to Edinburgh for £60.50 is more like it!

The most staggering fare I could find though was from Singapore to London for just ~£85 (note that you need to go to the Singaporean version of the Norwegian website here to get the best prices. $149 Singapore Dollars is currently worth about £85):

What is even better about these fares is that I’m not cherry-picking dates at all – they are widely available.

What’s the point of one way flights?

It’s a fair question! On the face of it a one way flight is rarely much use, regardless of how cheap it is. For Points and Miles collectors though, it’s a different story.

It’s much easier for a family to collect enough Miles for a one-way flight in First/Business Class and then pay cash for ultra cheap Economy tickets for travelling in the other direction, than it is to save enough Miles to redeem for luxury both ways.

Even if you have enough Miles, it can still make sense to save them for other trips if the flight you are considering redeeming for is relatively short and/or during the daytime etc, and there is a cheap cash option available instead.

Conclusion

The Norwegian one way fares can be absurdly cheap – often less than what a few hours on a train can cost these days, but you’re travelling to/from Singapore or New York, not Milton Keynes!

Combining the cheap one way fares with a Business or First Class redemption can be a great way to stretch your Miles at the same time as enjoying at least a little bit of the good stuff.
