Recent Traveller Feedback
Departed Stockholm Arlanda on a morning flight to Berlin Brandenburg. Security follows the standard European 100 ml liquid rule for carry on luggage. I kept my travel toiletries in a clear plastic bag and they went through screening with no issues at all.
Booked the Flex fare for my trip from Copenhagen to Barcelona so two checked bags up to 23 kg each were included. Both were around 20 kg and dropped off quickly at the self service kiosks. Bags arrived on the carousel within twenty minutes of landing at BCN.
Flew Norwegian from Oslo Gardermoen to London Gatwick on a LowFare+ ticket. My small under seat bag plus a 55 x 40 x 23 cm rollaboard came in just under the 10 kg combined limit. They did spot checks at the gate with the sizer frame but most bags passed through without being weighed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the carry-on weight limit on Norwegian?
LowFare and LowFare+ passengers have a combined cabin weight limit of 10 kg shared between the under seat bag and the overhead cabin bag.
Flex fare passengers benefit from a higher combined cabin allowance of 15 kg across both pieces of hand luggage.
The overhead cabin bag itself must fit within 55 x 40 x 23 cm including wheels and handles.
Does the cheapest LowFare ticket include a cabin bag for the overhead locker?
No the LowFare fare only includes one small under seat bag with maximum dimensions of 30 x 40 x 20 cm.
Passengers who want to bring a larger rollaboard for the overhead bin must either upgrade to LowFare+ or add a cabin bag separately during booking.
Adding a cabin bag at the gate costs significantly more than purchasing it online in advance.
How much checked baggage comes with my Norwegian ticket?

LowFare+ includes one standard checked bag with a maximum weight of 23 kg per passenger.
Flex fares include two checked bags of up to 23 kg each for a total of 46 kg of hold luggage.
Every checked piece must stay within 158 cm of total linear dimensions as measured across length width and height.
What size should my personal item be for under the seat?
The under seat personal item on every fare must measure no more than 30 x 40 x 20 cm to fit safely beneath the seat in front.
Common examples include small backpacks, laptop bags, handbags and briefcases that stay within the official size.
There is no separate weight limit for the personal item since it counts toward the total cabin baggage allowance.
What extra baggage benefits does the Flex fare offer?
Flex raises the combined cabin baggage weight limit from 10 kg to 15 kg for the under seat bag and cabin bag together.
The fare also includes two checked bags of 23 kg each instead of the single bag that comes with LowFare+.
Additional Flex benefits include free seat selection, priority boarding at many airports and fully refundable tickets for greater flexibility.
