Just logged into my booking and noticed that we are now flying out to Miami with Privilege Style - which look like a Spanish airline that do not have any Dreamliners listed.

About to go on Live Chat and ask them what is going on with my flight. I have had no notifications about a change in my flight details.

They didn’t notify me either, I am guessing that they won’t until nearer the time as they will not want everyone cancelling and if you don’t find out until last minute then unless you are prepared to pay a lot more you are probably stuck with them.

Looks like Privilege style is an ageing Boeing 777 with no inflight entertainment. There’s a review below from someone who got stuck with them due to another Norwegian cancellation this year and it doesn’t make good reading.

Don’t think you will have a problem getting Norwegian to refund you but fingers crossed you can find something with a decent carrier in the same price range.

VA wet leased 4 ex Air Berlin A330s to cover that, similar to Norwegian.
I went on one of these in October worst plane I’ve ever ever been on

We are due to fly 24/7 Gatwick to Tampa with Norwegian - haven’t heard anything and online booking appears the same - does anyone think we’ll be affected by these changes?

Thank you for posting this! I had an email to say my flight time had changed but nothing about aircraft... logged into my booking and its a new plane... new seats... have been offered refund. Think this is the way to go.

Doesn't appear to be, think its just the Miami and MCO flights, best call to check though.

It’s Miami, Orlando, Denver and Chicago at the minute. They are having to ground 4 of their Gatwick based 787s for another engine issue (these changes are not related to the 737 grounding) so unless something changes you should be OK with Tampa.

I would suggest keeping an eye on your booking, last night my August flights to Orlando still showed as being operated by Norwegian then they changed this morning to Hi-Fly. You can validate by doing a dummy booking for your dates.

Not sure where the info came from but just checked all Gatwick to Miami flights from 4 April to today’s flight on Flight Aware site and every one has been the Dreamliner 787. The article poster above says they should be wet lease 777 aircraft? So probably take it with a pinch of salt but I do know there has been some replacements

Thank you all - I’m not even sure how to check what aircraft it’s meant to be - I’m sure at some point it was listed as Dreamliner but I can’t find where I saw that before now!
