“We have been testing seat booking at a kiosk for just over a week, and see that so far the customers have welcomed the upgrade with open arms. This has been particularly popular, but we also see that the option to add luggage, Fast Track in the security check and Priority Boarding is to the taste of the passengers. Norwegian has committed to being continuously innovative in the development of user experiences. In parallel with the rebranding, there will be several technical upgrades with the aim of making air travel even easier for our customers.
