Will Norwegian Airlines troubles affect our flight?
Have a question? Ask Simon Calder
Q My family are booked to fly from Gatwick on in July with Norwegian Airlines to Seattle. For six of us we have paid nearly £4,000. We are concerned that the airline is in difficulties and may go bust. We paid our fares by credit card. We need to book our flights from Edinburgh to Gatwick and stay in a hotel overnight due to flight time to Seattle. If we book using Booking.com, would we get our money back if we couldn’t fly with Norwegian? Also would we get our money back if Norwegian went bust through our credit-card company?

A Norwegian has expanded rapidly. Its chief executive, Bjorn Kjos, says: “We have been a disruptive force on the side of consumers from the day we started with affordable fares for all as our main goal. What has also singled Norwegian out for attention from our rivals is our ability to make this model work across longer distances.”
