When Norwegian Air first launched its budget airline services from Singapore to London, I knew it was my chance to visit Europe. By a sheer stroke of luck, prices fell (SGD $199.90 is the cheapest promotional price Norwegian Air has for flights from Singapore to London Gatwick) so I immediately booked a LowFare+ ticket on the world's longest budget flight of almost 14 hours.
Tip: if you're buying a one-way ticket on Norwegian Air, its Singapore to London Gatwick option is cheaper. Flying from London Gatwick to Singapore on Norwegian Air can cost up to twice the price since the exchange rate is not in Singapore's favour. I booked my tickets approximately four months in advance.
I chose a LowFare+ ticket as it includes a checked bag of 20kg and seat reservation — I love my window seat. As it turns out, the two meals (and a sandwich snack) was redundant because Norwegian Air wasn't too strict about passengers bringing their own food onboard. Could've saved a little more if I chose the check-in bag option with an additional seat reservation instead. Nonetheless, getting my tickets at SGD $289.90 was still a steal.
