Marisa Garcia Norwegian has announced a new twist to its Norwegian Reward loyalty program which will give the airline’s most frequent fliers an opportunity to earn free return long-haul flights and Premium upgrades.
Norwegian Reward is free-to-join and gives members the chance to earn rewards and CashPoints which can be applied to discounted and free Norwegian flights.

Free upgrades to Premium
The loyalty programme is also offering members who fly at least 10 round trips (20 one way flights) on flexible tickets in 2017 a free upgrade to Premium on any long-haul route.
Premium class offers a roomy cradle seat with more than a metre of legroom, complimentary meals and drinks and free lounge access at select airports, including Gatwick.
Qualifying members who have earned the reward can book the lowest available economy fares for long-haul travel at during 2018 and upgrade to Premium free of charge.
Brede Huser, SVP at Norwegian Reward said:
“There has never been a better time to be a Norwegian Reward member as we’re now giving away free long-haul flights and Premium upgrades to our most loyal customers.
“Our members have easier access to discounted and free flights through a range of new partners which reflects the robust growth in our UK membership that has increased more than 50 per cent in the past year alone.
“Now our most frequent fliers can fly Norwegian to their long-haul destination of choice and enjoy high quality comfort in economy or Premium on the 787 Dreamliner entirely for free.”
Norwegian Reward will also give members the opportunity to combine the free long-haul ticket and Premium upgrade if they qualify.
