Norse Atlantic Airways Launches Direct Flights from London to Las Vegas
In a move that bridges two of the world's most vibrant cities, Norse Atlantic Airways has unveiled a direct flight route from London Gatwick to Las Vegas. Starting September 12, 2024, this new service promises to whisk travelers away to the neon-lit streets of Las Vegas three times a week, offering a seamless connection to the heart of entertainment.
With introductory return fares starting from £399 in Economy and £1029 in Premium, Norse Atlantic Airways is setting the stage for an accessible luxury travel experience.

Las Vegas, a city that never sleeps, offers an endless array of activities and sights. Whether it's the iconic Bellagio Fountains, the towering High Roller Observation Wheel, or the electric atmosphere of Fremont Street, Las Vegas serves up experiences that are both diverse and memorable. Beyond the city's famous casinos and shows, the surrounding landscape offers breathtaking natural wonders, including the Grand Canyon and Red Rock Canyon, making it a perfect destination for both thrill-seekers and nature lovers.
Bjorn Tore Larsen, CEO of Norse Atlantic Airways, emphasized the unique appeal of Las Vegas, highlighting its unparalleled diversity in entertainment, dining, and recreation. He also pointed to the city's natural beauty, which offers an exciting playground for adventurers.
The route's introduction has been met with enthusiasm from industry leaders. Stephanie Wear of London Gatwick expressed delight at Norse Atlantic’s growth and the added choice for passengers, noting Las Vegas's popularity among leisure travelers. This sentiment was echoed by Steve Hill of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, who welcomed the new connection and its potential to boost visitation from the UK, Las Vegas's leading source of overseas visitors.
Norse Atlantic operates with the state-of-the-art Boeing 787 Dreamliner, ensuring a comfortable journey across the Atlantic. The airline offers two cabin choices: Economy and Norse Premium, with fares designed to cater to a range of travel preferences.
