This Low-cost Airline Just Launched a New Route to Paris From the U.S. for Under $300

The service will fly from Los Angeles to Paris starting in May of 2024.

It will soon be able to fly from the City of Angels to the City of Light. 

Norse Atlantic Airways, a discount air carrier based in Norway, just announced a new direct route from Los Angeles to Paris starting next year. The flight will begin service on May 1 and operate six times a week, just in time for next year’s summer travel season.
