Norwegian Air to give free long-haul flights and upgrades to frequent flyers in 2018

Low-cost airline Norwegian’s loyalty programme Norwegian Reward is now giving its most frequent flying members in 2017 a free return flight or upgrade to its Premium cabin on any long-haul route for travel in 2018.

Norwegian Reward is a free-to-join loyalty scheme which gives members the chance to earn rewards and CashPoints which can lead to discounted and free Norwegian flights.

Free Long-haul tickets

Norwegian Reward members who fly at least 20 round trips (40 one way flights) and have at least 3000 CashPoints earned on flight tickets by 31 December 2017 will receive a free return flight to any one of Norwegian’s 13 long-haul destinations from Gatwick. Flights are redeemable in January 2018 with a valid travel period throughout the entire year of 2018.

Free upgrades to Premium

The loyalty programme is also offering members who fly at least 10 round trips (20 one way flights) on flexible tickets in 2017 a free upgrade to Premium on any long-haul route. Passengers flying Premium benefit from a spacious cradle seat with more than a metre of legroom, complimentary meals and drinks and free lounge access at select airports including Gatwick. Members can book the lowest available economy fares for long-haul travel at any time of the year in 2018 and upgrade to Premium free of charge.

Norwegian Reward is also giving members the opportunity to combine the free long-haul ticket and Premium upgrade if they qualify.

The loyalty scheme has recently launched the new Reward Family Account, giving groups of up to seven people the chance to pool CashPoints together, and the Reward eShop where members can do online shopping at Britain’s most popular retailers and earn CashPoints.

The airline continues its rapid expansion in September with three new routes commencing to Denver, Seattle and Singapore followed by new services to Buenos Aires, Chicago and Austin (pictured) in 2018.
