Still cheap and cheerful even with seats, baggage and food thrown in, we paid $560 each ORD - LGW. Plane was new seats were as expected, baggage took an hour and a half to reappear at our destination and the food should have been thrown, it too was awful. The lack of free water on board an international flight is troubling as was the cup of after dinner coffee served in a 2inch high 'dish', on the outward journey they didn't have any milk nor creamer so all drinks were served black.

Yes I have flown before, many many times even on low cost airlines (Ryan Air, Easy Jet and even Spirit)

Yes I have put a complaint in to Norwegian (not that it is acknowledged)

And finally NO I wouldn't fly Norwegian again.

Sounds to me like you want to pay a bus fare across the Atlantic but expect Blue Riband service.
Your baggage problem might well have been caused by factors outside the control of Norwegian.
And as for your complaints about the food and brusque attitude of the FAs - have you ever flown American Airlines ?

Lol, I've flown Norwegian and though the food is sub-par, the service and planes are waaay better than United for example. Also many Norwegian air legs are during the night, I don't even need a meal for 8 hours, it's my sleeping time. Just take a few snacks with you and eat something in the airport before you get on.

Well see how my flight on norwegian goes in 3 weeks. I actually sent a bid in to upgrade to first class. Dont know if it will be accepted, but lets hope.

There's a direct Chicago-London-Chicago flight for $438 leaving on Monday 10 September returning Monday 24 September, 2 weeks exact.

If you don't mind a short stopover in Iceland on the way there, you can get a rtn ticket for $347. The return leg is direct on Norwegian Air.

As for single trajectory Chicago-London, you're looking at $179-$189 dollars on Norwegian Air on various dates in September. $150 with a stopover in Iceland on Wow Air, if I were you I would add 2 days in Iceland, why not?

Icelandic Air used to offer flights were the stopover was long enough to take a bus to the Blue Lagoon hot springs. The one time I did it, it was interesting, fun and refreshing.

The price is key I’m looking to arrive in London mid September but I need the best cost. I see on google some from Chicago are $400 usd currency. Price is key have a place to stay once I’m there looking for a cheap flight on a good price any good advice? Thanks

Have you tried Norwegian Air? I know they started Chicago - Gatwick flights. My parents fly them London to Boston all the time and they are very reasonable.

Edit: Obviously should have read the whole thread before posting! Anyway - yeah, US carriers are awful, so Norwegian will likely seem delightful in comparison.
