A low-cost, long-haul airline has launched a new LAX to Paris service.

Norse Atlantic Airways celebrated the inaugural flight of the new route on Wednesday.


Flights take off from LAX four times per week, departing around 9 p.m. and landing in Paris around 5 p.m. local time the following day. Flights to L.A. depart around 4:15 p.m. and land stateside around 7 p.m. the same day.

Economy fares start at $239 one-way, the airline says.

“The beautiful city of Paris is now even more accessible from Los Angeles thanks to the great value fares on Norse,” said Bjorn Tore Larsen, the company’s founder and CEO. “With up to six flights a week from the heart of Hollywood to the City of Love there has never been a better time to experience the magic of the French capital.”

The trip will be made aboard a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which Norse says offers a relaxed and comfortable travel experience, with each seat including a “personal, state-of-the-art entertainment experience.”

The premium cabin offers a 43-inch seat pitch and 12-inch recline, which Norse says is an industry-leading feature.

The airline has been flying since June 2022 and runs a fleet of 15 planes, offering “affordable fares” primarily between Europe and the U.S.

Norse also offers flights from LAX to Oslo, Norway and Gatwick Airport in London.
