Norwegian sale dates aren’t fixed to a calendar, but one sale comes round every year: Black Friday. Based on previous years, expect the next one in late November 2026, around Black Friday on 27 November, probably ending around 1 December. Smaller flash sales can appear at other times with little notice, but Black Friday is the date to mark.

Norwegian sale dates: how often does the airline run sales?
Norwegian’s one recurring sale is its annual Black Friday campaign, called “Black Week” in some years. It has run every year since at least 2018, when it launched with up to 30% off short-haul and 15% off long-haul fares. The 2025 edition offered up to 30% off with code BLACKWEEK25 and ended on 1 December, with travel dates running to mid-June 2026.
| When to expect it next | What it usually covers | |
|---|---|---|
Black Friday | Late November 2026, likely ending around 1 December | Up to 30% off most routes, several months of travel dates |
“Norwegian doesn’t run many sales, which makes the one it does run easy to plan around. Black Friday has come round every year since at least 2018, with up to 30% off in 2018 and again in 2025, and travel dates stretching months ahead. If you’re eyeing a trip for next spring, hold off in early November and be ready when the late-November sale opens.”Kate Acaster, Chief Editor, Flight Tribe
Norwegian Reward and how it fits in
Norwegian Reward is the airline’s free loyalty scheme. Members earn CashPoints on flights, which they can spend on future bookings. There’s no confirmed evidence that membership gives early access to sales, so sign up for the points but don’t rely on it to beat the Black Friday rush. Outside Black Friday, the most reliable way to catch a sale 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
Norwegian’s single annual campaign makes it one of the less frequent discounters among UK-facing airlines, though its Black Friday discount of up to 30% off is competitive.
- Ryanair runs flash sales far more often, sometimes several times a month.
- easyJet and Wizz Air both run sales every few weeks.
Norwegian had a strong 2025, with a 9.9% operating margin and record passenger numbers. That suggests it’s under less pressure to discount hard than some rivals have been in recent years.
Tips for catching the Norwegian Black Friday sale
Norwegian’s Black Friday sale usually 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 such as Oslo and Bergen tend to go first. In the days before Black Friday, sign up for Norwegian’s newsletter or check the offers page. Norwegian doesn’t always email every customer, so checking yourself is more reliable than waiting.
