Norwegian Baggage Allowance and Fees
What Norwegian includes for carry-on and checked bags, where fees apply, and how to add bags at the lowest price. Call (708) 866-8751 to add bags to a booking or to book a fare that includes them.
Carry-on
One under-seat bag on LowFare; an overhead carry-on is included on higher fares or for a fee.
Checked bags
Not included on LowFare; one 23 kg bag on LowFare+ and Flex.
Good to know
Low-cost carrier pricing: nearly everything beyond the seat is an add-on, so compare the all-in price with a legacy carrier.
Overweight bags (over 50 lb / 23 kg on most carriers) and oversize bags carry extra fees on every airline. Sports equipment, instruments, and medical devices have their own rules; the agent can add them to the booking.
