My itinerary, booked through Norse but with the first leg from Naples operated by easyJet, included a two-hour layover at London Gatwick — a tight connection once I factored in immigration, security, and checking in for my Norse flight to Orlando.
I had to complete the check-in process after arriving in London because “Light” ticket holders must check in at the airport counter rather than online, and there was no Norse staff available in Naples.
However, Norse offers skip-the-line passes for security and check-in, which typically cost around $10 to $15 per person and are often cheaper when purchased during booking, though they can be purchased once at the airport.
For two people, that would have added at least another $40 to our trip. Instead, we paid $20 to bypass security. In the end, it saved us only a few minutes, and the money might’ve been better spent on the check-in fast pass instead, which we didn’t buy.
Next time, I plan to see how long the lines are at the airport before deciding whether the extra cost is worth it.
