Since Norwegian Air Shuttle commenced long haul flights to the United States much has changed . At the beginning of their long haul operations ( which started on May 30 , 2013 ) they only operated flights to John . F . Kennedy Fitzgerald airport from Oslo Gardermoen and Stockholm Arlanda airport . Unfortunately at that time the Boeing 787 had major problems and due to this Norwegian had to lease some metal from leasing companies .

In June 2015 Norwegian made a surprising announcement and said that they were going to start seasonal flights from the United States to the Caribbean with 3 of their 737-800s . The flights would operate from Baltimore , New York and Boston to the Islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe . The starting price for these flights were $ 50 dollars one way . Many passengers took advantage of these prices and the flights ended up being very successful for the company that they decided to restart the seasonal service ( their Caribbean operations are only operated in the winter ) in November 2016 and are even adding more frequencies plus adding a new route between Fort-Lauderdale and Guadeloupe which will start on December 17 and will operate 2 times a week .
