For the first time, Athens is getting a direct air link with the West Coast of the US, as Norwegian low-fare carrier Norse Atlantic Airways has announced the start of a new service linking the Greek capital with Los Angeles.
The long-haul airline will begin these flights on June 3, flying four times per week on Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft.
Fares are supposed to start from 259 euros one-way (no meals included) in this 13.5-hour flight, while premium seats are also available.
The service is scheduled to continue up to September 29 at the earliest. It follows the success of the service linking Athens International Airport with New York’s JFK Airport last year, which ran from May to October.
