When travelling with Norwegian you have the option to purchase checked baggage. Each passenger is permitted two pieces of luggage with a maximum weight of 20 kilos per piece. Checked baggage is charged per person per segment. If any of the pieces weigh more than 20 kilos, then the extra weight will be charged as excess baggage. If you have more than 2 items, these items will also be charged as excess baggage, regardless of weight. NOTE: Excess baggage is charged per kilo.
Baggage charges are non-refundable.
If you have made a reservation and decide that you want to take more luggage, you must make this request at least 25 hours prior to departure online or via our Contact Centre. Checked baggage can also be purchased at the airport on the day of travel. Please note that higher charges will apply to checked baggage requested at the airport. Norwegian krone is the only currency accepted when paying in cash at Norwegian airports.
Size and weight
We cannot accept individual baggage units weighing more than 32 kg or less than 2kg. We permit a total baggage allowance of 64 kg per person. The weight limit does not apply to electric wheelchairs, musical instruments or animals in the cargo hold. We accept baggage with a total circumference of 300cm where the maximum dimensions are: length 250cm, height 79cm, width 112cm.
Items of luggage other than a suitcase, bag or backpack is referred to as oversized baggage. For information regarding oversized baggage, click here. Musical instruments or sporting equipment smaller than 90cm x 75cm x 55cm and between 2-20 kg is permitted as normal checked baggage.
Packing checked baggage
All baggage must be packed in such a way that it can withstand normal baggage handling. This means that the item will withstand the impact of coming into contact with other luggage in the baggage system and when loading/unloading the aircraft. Certain items are not accepted for carriage in checked baggage. For more information, click here.
Each passenger is solely responsible for packing their luggage in such a way that the contents cannot be damaged. The passenger is liable for any damaged caused to the plane’s equipment or another passenger’s luggage should a bottle containing liquid in their checked in luggage break. Norwegian does not accept liability for the damage to contents caused by a broken bottle, tube or container.
All checked baggage must be clearly marked with name and phone number.
Children
Children under the age of two are allowed to check in up to 5 kilos of luggage free of charge. A car seat and a pram will also be accepted free of charge. Children under the age of two who have not purchased their own seat do not have a hand baggage allowance and are only allowed to take onboard food and drink for the journey. Children (2-11 years) for whom a seat has been purchased are able to take with them the baggage allowance they purchased. A car seat and a pram will also be accepted free of charge.
Connecting flights
If you have purchased a connecting flight with Norwegian (two consecutive flights under the one reservation number), in most cases your checked baggage will be transported to your final destination.
If you have purchased two consecutive flights intended as a connection (with separate reservation numbers), you will need to collect your luggage before checking in for you next flight.
NOTE: All checked baggage is charged per person per segment.
If you are travelling from an international flight with an onward connection on a domestic flight, different customs rules apply to the transport of checked baggage. For more information, click here.
