Children under the age of two are allowed to check in up to 5 kilos of luggage free of charge - this can be either in your own bag (added to your weight allowance), or as a separate bag. A car seat and a pram/stroller will also be accepted free of charge. Children under the age of two who have not purchased their own seat do not have a hand baggage allowance and are only allowed to take onboard food and drink for the journey.
Children (2-11 years) for whom a seat has been purchased are able to take with them the baggage allowance they purchased. In addition, a car seat and a pram/stroller will also be accepted free of charge in addition to the baggage allowance.
Connecting flights
If you have purchased a connecting flight with Norwegian (two consecutive flights under the one reservation number), in most cases your checked baggage will be transported to your final destination.
If you have purchased two consecutive flights intended as a connection (with separate reservation numbers), you will need to collect your luggage before checking in for you next flight - you will be charged the checked baggage fees individually for each reservation number.
