Your support makes all the difference.Q Do you know when Norwegian will release their flights between London and Las Vegas for travel in early May? Or are there any other companies that do cheap flights on the route at that time?
Chris Wintle
A Norwegian tells me that its Gatwick-Las Vegas service “is initially intended as a seasonal route from 31 October to 23 March 2017”. In other words, the link is regarded as a good place to deploy a Boeing 787 through the winter, but during the summer there are more lucrative routes for that plane.
British Airways and Virgin Atlantic compete year-round on non-stop routes from London to Las Vegas - BA from Heathrow, Virgin from Gatwick. Next May, non-stop fares are typically £900 return. However, you can easily find one-stop alternatives around the £550-£650 level on a range of airlines, such as American Airlines from Heathrow via Dallas-Fort Worth or Chicago, or WestJet from Gatwick via Calgary or Vancouver.
