Bit worried that I've booked flights to CPH with Norwegian but if they hold on for the next couple of months we'll be grand.

Also booked flights to Lisbon with TAP and to Georgia with Wizz but I think both of them are solid enough.

Obviously not a guarantee of anything but Norwegian have announced a new route to Toronto from Dublin beginning shortly so fingers crossed as Im due to go to NYC with them at the start of May. Their going bust would be a slight inconvenience to me also.

That route has no hope I wouldn't think, it's to Hamilton as opposed to Toronto and the fares aren't much cheaper than air Canada and Aer Lingus are to actual Toronto.

Useful for people in Buffalo and near the border but that's it.

Flew to Providence last year and they weighed it coming home, was under the 10kg...

Was meant to fly to NY in late May for her birthday. They moved the outbound flight from 8.30am to think was 3 in the afternoon. Return leg was changed from 12noon to 8ish in the evening... Through a spanner in the works big time for us and we cancelled and we're refunded. Seems the 737 max has caused a few issues

I used them a few years ago as the flights were about £300 from London to NY.
But that meant carry on bag only and no food (I think this was an extra 25 each way).
The plane themselves are top of the range and great entertainment systems.

They are a low cost airlines so I’d be wary about going over the limit.

Pack the back full and if they question it just unpack some items and wear a few layers onto a plane.
I’ve seen a few people do this.
