United – $486: Newark – Stockholm, Sweden. Roundtrip, including all Taxes

A good sale to Stockholm. Since we will get a few emails about Norwegian being cheaper — here’s the all in cost comparison:

  • Checked luggage
    • United – 1st bag free
    • Norwegian – $42 per leg (so if you check your bags, that’s $84 for this trip)
  • Carry-on luaggage
    • United – 22″ roller + 1 personal item
    • Norwegian – 10 kilos max (or ~22 pounds)
  • Seat assignment
    • United – most advanced seat assignments are free
    • Norwegian – if you want advanced seat assignment it’s $17. So that’s $34 roundtrip.
  • Onboard food + beverage
    • United – water and soda, free
    • Norwegian – you will pay for everything (don’t forget a blanket, because Norwegian…yeah, they don’t have any)
  • Frequent flyer miles
    • United – this trip is 8,000+ miles. That 60% needed for a domestic one-way ticket. We value that at least $80
    • Norwegian – they have an award program — but you can’t use it for much.
  • Plane
    • United: single aisle 757. United 757 across the Atlantic have on-demand inflight entertainment.
    • Norwegian: Boeing 787. That’s when there isn’t an issue and not substituted with a plane from HiFly or EuroAtlantic (we feel for you if you get the EuroAtlantic plane)

Norwegian might be cheaper — but if you want to check a bag or want advanced seat assignment etc, United will probably be cheaper.
