Norwegian sale dates aren’t fixed to a calendar, but the airline runs a confirmed annual Black Friday sale every year, plus occasional shorter promotions. If you’re watching for the next Norwegian sale, Black Friday is the one date worth marking, even though smaller flash sales can appear with little notice.
This guide covers Norwegian’s sale pattern, what’s confirmed for 2026, and how it compares with Ryanair, easyJet and Wizz Air. For hand luggage rules on Norwegian, see our carry-on bag guide.
Norwegian sale dates: how often does the airline run sales?
Norwegian’s confirmed, recurring sale is its annual Black Friday campaign, called “Black Week” in some years. The 2025 edition ran with code BLACKWEEK25, offering up to 30% off, ending 1 December 2025 for travel between 12 December 2025 and 15 June 2026. This has run every year since at least 2018, when it launched with up to 30% off short-haul and 15% off long-haul fares.
| Typical window | What’s usually included | |
|---|---|---|
Black Friday | Late November, ending around 1 December | Up to 30% off most routes, several months of travel dates |
Norwegian Reward and how it fits in
Norwegian Reward is the airline’s free loyalty scheme. Members earn CashPoints on flights, which can be redeemed against future bookings. There’s no confirmed evidence that Reward membership gives early access to sales, so it’s worth signing up for the points but not relying on it to beat the Black Friday rush.
Because Norwegian doesn’t publish a wider promotional calendar, the most reliable way to catch a sale outside Black Friday is to check norwegian.com’s offers page directly, or watch our flight deals page for verified fares as they appear.
How Norwegian sales compare with other airlines
Ryanair runs flash sales far more often than Norwegian, sometimes several times a month. easyJet and Wizz Air both run sales every few weeks. Norwegian’s single confirmed annual campaign makes it one of the less frequent discounters among UK-facing airlines, though the Black Friday discount itself is competitive at up to 30% off.
Norwegian’s strong 2025 financial results, a 9.9% operating margin and record passenger numbers, suggest the airline isn’t under the same pressure to discount aggressively that some competitors have faced in recent years.
Tips for catching the Norwegian Black Friday sale
Norwegian’s Black Friday sale typically covers a wide travel window, often six months or more, so it’s worth booking even if your trip isn’t until spring or early summer. The cheapest seats on popular routes like Oslo and Bergen tend to go first.
Sign up for Norwegian’s email newsletter or check the offers page directly in the days before Black Friday. Norwegian doesn’t always send a dedicated announcement to every customer, so checking manually is more reliable than waiting for an email.
