I Flew Norse Atlantic from Gatwick Airport to New York JFK and paid twice as much money to sit in their Premium Cabin. Was it worth twice the price of Economy? Is the service and the food any better and what's the seating like? Here's my review of Norse Atlantic Premium Cabin. Remind me why I paid almost twice the price!

Loved the shots over Newport Harbour CT and Block Island as you flew into JFK!
We've flown with NORSE on many occasions in both ecomony and premium. We've had some fantastic deals which make it more than worth it. Flight home from Miami in a few months was £594 for 2 adults and 1 teenager in Premium classic. Worth it for the leg room alone!
top tip for your point about no in flight map, if you look at google maps and scroll along the general route of your flight while on the ground, Google will cache that map data allowing you to view where you are using GPS providing you have a window seat (this works in Flight Mode because of how GPS works by your phone only having to recieve radio signals). Just hold your phone at the window for roughly 30 seconds to a minute and you should get your location. (also make sure location is on of course)
If ever back in Perth Lee, you can sit in my back garden and watch planes all day as I am about 10mins from Airport and planes are close landing/taking off.
Did Surfshark pay for the flight? If so, you were wise not to look a gift Norse in the mouth. 😂
Why do people keep their cap on inside a plane or restaurant. It is like the twits that have sunglasses on inside or at night. No it is not fashionable.
@allanlawrence3456, yep …… it seems like all manners have been determined to be unnecessary!! Let's bring manners back!! 🤷🏼♂️ 🤔
As a young ish female with partial hair loss due to a medical condition I would keep my cap on because it's mortifying without. I wouldn't want to be disrespectful to anyone but needs must.
I never follow rules or do what I'm supposed to.
Why do some people feel the need to dictate what others must do just out of interest how does someone wearing a cap on an aeroplane effect your life?
That background music whilst you are taxying to the runway is awful Lee. Please bin it from future use its cringey
Yea, elevator music and makes me think of a cold wet day walking the back streets of Rochdale 😂😂😂
You might have a cr*p taste in music. Other comments say they like it. 😂
Tui premium to America was fantastic when we travelled to Florida
I'll never understand how people with an interest in the miracle that is powered flight (Or even unpowered, actually) are called nerds, geeks etc. by people who bang on about cars and motor bikes. What's all that about?
I watch your flying videos to literally help to ease my intense fear of flying. Plus I love watching other people travel to places I know I probably couldn’t brave myself to get too 😂
Norse Atlantic is a long haul ultra low cost (budget) airline. So of course their premium food isn’t like food in premium economy on other airlines. It’s a budget airline at the end of the day. The economy passengers get the same meal as you, but yours is included in the price
Loved the Financial Times comment - we call it the "Sainsbury Syndrome" locally because you see so many regular shoppers in Tesco, Morrisons and even Lidl who turn up armed with multiple Sainsbury bags (and occasional Waitrose ones, but those people are already in therapy, allegedly). I went into Sainsbury's and, needing a bag, purchased one of those with the elephant image, but my daughter will disown me if I ever try to use it again. Having said that, our local Sainsbury does the most amazing jam doughnuts (and I generally use a Tesco "Minions" bag - so I am probably eligible to join the queue for therapy as well - though, on second thoughts, I am a pensioner and am already on the schedule to be dead before the next pension increase is due, so the therapy is no longer cost-effective).
We flew on Norse Grand Canyon back in November last year Lee. Saw all the Christmas decorations and the Rockefeller Christmas Tree for my 50th in New York City. Loved every minute, was everything and more. All the best. Regards, Keith.
Thanks Lee, enjoyed the video 😊
You are paying for the space Lee. For me worth every penny.
He could fly round the world 80 times with the amount he has wasted on that car. 🤣 taycan the Pi55 🤣🤣
Lovely clear view of approach to NYC. Thanks for sharing.
I can't believe how much you paid. I flew with Norse to Orlando from Gatwick in February for £250 return in economy. Granted, we did only take small rucksacks to America... and didn't waste money on too much onboard food and drink - couldn't have been happier with them! Vegas flights with Norse are quite attractive.
I just got back from a New York City trip, tonight!! Just missed you there, Lee. Weather was beautiful in the NYC area and upstate NY. Almost perfect I thought!!
It was perfect weather. 😊
Lee old boy you will regret the home leg. Cattle class 😂😂
Excellent vlog Lee. Always particularly enjoy the flight ones. Great work thanks Lee.🍺😂❤
Really good review Lee, like how you mix your content, enjoy the travel and food as much as the motoring content. So true about airplane bread rolls and so good turning left getting on a big plane
Love your plane videos Lee.
More planes need the option to be able to order food through the screen! Makes life so much easier!
For someone who seems to spend a lot of time and money crossing the Atlantic. Why not do it in style and make the journey as much of the holiday as the destination. I'm talking about the Ocean Liner QE2 it's got to be the most luxurious way to do it
Agreed. A 7 day QM2 'transatlantic cruise' eastbound (NYC to Southampton) is about a grand for an inside cabin (recommended in autumn). Full English breakfast on the high seas every day 🤢
I agree but Lee doesn't like sailing.
Possibly like me he gets sea sick. Not sure.
Do we have to see the silver fox?
the plane looked good, thats about it really, average food, no map, no drunks, such fun
Ohhh been waiting on this vlog for 2 days.
Love all your vlogs, thanks for all your hard work.
I hope you manage to get some sleep at some point, with only being there for a day.
I'm also a plane geek, I have the flight radar app, it's brilliant.
As a child, my Dad would take me to Birmingham Airport to watch the planes.
Any thanks again for all your efforts in entertaining us viewer's.
Elaine
I remember when it was called Elmdon before it was expanded you could watch the planes from the airport lounge, when I flew to Spain in 1975.
Great vid Lee! Always love these ride alongs feels like we are right there with you! Have a great time!
Next time you spend some time in New York, maybe you can carve out 3 days to go to St Maarten in the Caribbean. Several daily JFK flights on JetBlue and Delta. Or United from Newark.
Best plane spotting in the world…you don’t have to be a beach person to love the beach by the airport. Quite a few planes to watch landing over your head and taking off nearby. Lovely!
And yes, I always use Flight Radar 24. Even when I’m walking the dog at 10pm, if I see blinking lights in the sky, I’m looking to see the plane type, airline and of course where the plane is heading!
You should do a video with Walk With Me Tim
@Ben-oo6rl Tim's channel has changed so much. I subscribed in its very early days, when it was all about walks around coastal towns. I even booked a holiday to Norfolk and Suffolk because of his channel! But now it's mainly him spending his RUclips earnings staying in fancy hotels, with the occasional family holiday or walk around Great Yarmouth thrown in. I only watch his vlogs occasionally these days.
High Lee my mates used to call me Alan Wicker,think that should be your new nickname name lol.❤
Good vid 👍Nice climb out over our green and becoming unpleasant land. Thanks toolmakers son.
We recently flew Virgin on the new A350-1000, Heathrow to Orlando and only paid an extra £500 on top of the ticket price for Premium seats, return flight, and this was in the August kiddy weeks. Well worth it! ✈️
Good deal. TBH premium Y can vary in price a lot depending on how busy the flight is and how far ahead you book. Last minute upgrade offers *can* be good value.
When we flew recently from Hong Kong to Auckland NZ, in Premium Economy, the seats, were leather bound, with heaps of leg room, - me being 6ft 2" and 21 stone, flight entertainment was second to non. Wifi was available, and the food was excellent. Additionally the flight attendants were excellent also. Of course all food and drink was included in the cost of the airline tickets. Best Premium Economy Flight my wife and I have ever experienced.
which airline ?
Have a wonderful time in NYC!!
He's coming straight back!!!
I don't fly much these days but from what I've heard from others, premium economy is just economy with a better seat and a bit more space, it's the same service otherwise. Considering what an ordeal economy can be these days, especially on the longer flights, I can well understand some being happy to spend the extra.
Lee always trolls airport duty free shops. Discount retailers must love him.
Buy all you want in duty free, you can still get it £7 cheaper in Tesco.
He knows a bargain, you can get it cheaper elsewhere. Trouble is once your through security. Theyve got you and they can charge what they like. Including my weatherspoons breakfast at london stansted yesterday. 2 drinks and 2 breakfasts for me and my parther. Nearly 40.00. Even robin hood wore a mask when he was robbing ppl
There are no discounts in duty free any more I'm afraid. 😮😊❤
Love your flight/airport vids Lee!
Really enjoyed the vlog as always Lee
LEE if you haven't tried it you must 2 shots Baileys 1 shot of whisky with ice wow ,I was introduced to it while on holiday many moons ago and it's now my go to drink especially on Holiday, cheers, 😊
The passenger in front of you never raised their seat for landing. Both the flight attendant and you should have reminded him.
You don't need to have downloaded maps to use Google Maps in-flight. I often use it on flights where there's no map service. You don’t need a wifi connection to use it either, GPS works without one. Sometimes it takes a while to pick up a satellite signal, so you just need to be a bit patient.
Nice video I like the different planes u fly on,keep up the good work
This is your captain speaking holding his nose, I would love to do that.
Back when as a medic you were allowed to accept freebies from pharma .... Got a free flight from Glasgow to Gothenburg and wow my only flight on a turbo prop was amazing
The "Chips" bikes had an air suspension that the Guy who sold me a Harley in 2004 said made all the difference his Reg V2COP
I had a work colleague brought in a Financial Times one day,hillarious.
Seems like a budget airline with a bit more space. Perfect for me, I hate being in close proximity to people 😂
Love these travel vlogs...This one didn't disappoint.
If I had one whinge it would be the background music is a bit depressing...Great vlog though 👍👍👍
With that fantastic sales pitch for Surf Shark Lee; if you're ever short of work, am sure one of those TV shopping channels would snap you up; but then again, they wouldn't help you to get you to New York like they havel! 😊
My pet hate .people reclining especially when you are eating 🤒
Seems a normal premium to me. The extra room is why it’s expensive
We love that app. On nice summer nights, we like to sit outside and see where the planes are going. We went to Marston Green in Birmingham this summer to watch all the planes come in and out. Our youngest wasn't too keen, but out 11 year old loved it ❤ x
Great fun with the flight radar app 👍
Well Lee, i enjoyed the Norse flight over, the meals looked nice to me, and your leg room looked sufficient. Take care in the Big apple 🤔 Au
Meals were served in plastic containers. Nothing premium about this!
Interesting flight review . You didn’t seem to get a lot for nearly double the Y class fare .
All of my recent long haul flights on different airlines I’ve always had the live route map and various camera views to watch in Y class .😃👍
If u paid for it in total and not sponsored, that price is mad
Even manged to get Gatwick's longest resident aircraft (MD80 I-DAVA ex Itali Airlines) just before takeoff impounded back in 2010.
Bloc Hotel is amazing to stay at, I stayed their a few times, can get rooms with airport views and as you pointed out, really close to departures. Always like looks at the flightradar24 myself, do like picking destinations, but mainly I like to get the registrations of the planes to keep a list.
Good job Macmaster ❤
Didn’t look the best to be honest for what you paid. I only travel British airways and love them but I know everybody has their own opinion. Can’t believe you got through customs so quick we were there for two hours in February. Looking forward to the journey home video.
I'm going to update my Global Entry so I can skip customs.
I used to fly BA all the time in the past. But I stopped, because I had to fly to England first. Now, I just hop on a train to the Netherlands and fly KLM out of Amsterdam.
Worth looking at the comparisons of other airlines for the same journey at the same dates but got to say definitely better than some of the airlines to Tenerife 😂😂 take care and thank you for exploring these different airlines 👍
Considering I had a travel business for 25 years I hate the travelling just like the arrival at the destination for me and the experience before the dreaded flight back
Lee I hope you remembered to charge your 120K , sorry 33K milk float before you left 😅
Lee is hoping it will get stolen or self combust. That way he may get more than 33k?
@@greg6172 assuming you can still insure them for loan payout amounts 😂 😜
Fair play to you knocking out these videos, you looked exhausted throughout! Your artistic eye always make them an enjoyable watch.
If I had AU$10 for every time he missed having a map to look at I could have treated myself to a really nice bottle of Single Malt whisky !
Water and ice.
Love the travel vids Lee👍🏻👍🏻
Nice flight vlog Lee. I remember Walk With Me Tim in that block hotel. Can’t say I’ve ever heard of Norse they must be new. Agree with you about Jet Blue they are superb. Cannot never understand why anyone buys duty free anymore. Most of the time it’s cheaper off the internet.
Lee whats the music you have on the video i would love listen to that when on farming sim 😊 love your videos ❤
Great pictures from the plane Lee 🙂👍
Can always tell a Boeing by the windshield glazings as they kept it the same from the 707 days., well until the Dreamliner anyway.
Just getting caught up now mate been a busy weekend.
At first glance the extra leg room looked nice but paying an extra £300 on top, plus the food? I'd stick with jet blue when you're not reviewing other airlines.
Hi Lee,great video as always.
I suppose for extra leg room,complimentary drinks&well behaved passengers plus watch movies guess worth paying the extra especially after what happened on last plane trip from Las Vegas food looked edible main thing got New York safely👍
The meals look okay and you get what you pay for.
Looked like a nice trip across, premium economy, the food I think could have been a little better
At 6ft 4inch i would not not fly in economy ever.
Hi Lee. Are you able to add chapter markers so we can skip the paddling?
On this video for example we only need to see your seat and food, and the price of the ticket.
This would be useful.
More importantly how did it compare to the outrageously priced VS economy flights to Vegas?..
Serioulsly why do you UK folks even fly... ? You left th,oe night before to get to the Airport ...mega bucks... Here in NL we get out our beds 4 hours befoe departure ..
Love your cheerful attitude, f@&k the haters, keep your content coming. I always get a laugh from your vlogs 😂😂🏴
Nice One Lee.
Great One Lee
Mac flying long haul always try or pay for an upgrade .Get a better seat and a bed you’re not arriving tired it’s worth the extra money is worth an extra day of your holiday .
The food looked rubbish what do you expect on Budjet airline .
You are moaning even before you get there.
God help New York .
Aaaah... Mr Samsonite. Nice to see you again.🙃
You might end up with a Karen behind you on the way back kicking off
what another Moe and Cat Salter i think once was enough for Lee
Very informative, culinary and transportation wise.
Can we see you use a traditional TAXI Lee?,for a change,as it’s interesting to the viewer I hope.
Im watching the outbound flight and the meal review... you look a bit bladdered 😂
I must say in all my years of flying I've never heard a pilot with such a pronounced Southern accent and keeps saying errmm, they normally have quite a posh voice and speak fluently with precise and clear information and instructions.
Nice to see the Mitchell Bros sitting in front of you !!!!.Food review if you like Baileys then not taken this seriously
meanwhile, somewhere over the big pond someone reclines their seat
Always on the move! ✈️
Next time go to Florida instead of NY.
Nothing like the smell of jet exhaust first thing in the morning !
It's exhaust-ing!
If a passenger has a disability they should be offered assistance, like a wheel chair or a ride in one of the buggies
18:40 Man, LGW has certainly changed this my last trip through there in ‘98’,
Remind Martin he shall from now on be called the “Beige Fox”and show him the old photos you shared with us.👍for a couple of hundred quid I would take the extra space and legroom every time.😃
You're flying to NYC ,been to Grand Canyon Deano stuck in Huddersfield with £5 ready meal lol
Oh I am flying from Gatwick to New York in Premium Class, well la de da, aren't you just something, I might do the same.
