About the Writer
Hey, I’m Lyza! I once was a person who just imagined going to places “one day” but decided to pursue my dreams. My first travel abroad was in Japan, solo, last 2018, and fell in love with the journey since. I’m aiming to visit 10 countries before turning 30 and 2 new places in the Philippines every year. Besides traveling, I love organizing trips, photography, reading, and making new friends. Follow my adventures through my Instagram.
I claimed on 6th April for flights due to take place 18th & 25th April. Got my full refund 22nd May – so it took about 7 weeks from claim date to refund date.
I purchased nonrefundable tickets for the family (5) to go to Spain in July. My husband is asthmatic. Is there any chance that I can get a refund?
You’ll need to contact Norwegian Airlines – you can do so through twitter
We had purchased 2 Premium Economy seats R/T from San Francisco to London Gatwick with Trip Cancellation insurance. Once the Covid-19 Pandemic hit, my wife’s oncologist advised her not to fly “anywhere”! As directed on the Norwegian website, I cancelled our flights then submitted a claim for refund, requesting a credit back to my credit card. What are the chances Norwegian will refund the price of the flights as opposed to forcing us to fly at a later date?
If you have used the refund option, they will probably refund you the cost as you didn’t choose to change the travel dates. However, getting the money back will be quite a long time, maybe more than a month.
I’m well past a month- a full 2 mos with no reply from Norwegian to my email or voice inquiries. Frustrating when you can reapply this money to critical things during the shutdown.
How long is longer than usual if we are waiting for a refund? 2 weeks after I submit the claim? 1 week after the canceled flight? I don’t know what is normal and therefore am not sure what is longer than normal. Thanks!
I claimed a refund on March 14th and have not heard a word either.
They deal with claims in chronological order, so please be patient as they may have more cases than normal.
I applied for a refund back in mid march as well, for a flight that was meant to be on 8th April. Filled in both forms, still waiting. Phone number is always busy. Seen news today Norwegian doesn’t even have cash to pay pilots, it’ll go bust and nobody will get refunds.
I’ll just end up claiming on my travel insurance for the flight, suggest others to do the same.
Same boat I’m afraid. Submitted my refund requests for March 28 and April 6 flights immediately after Norwegian cancelled both. Refund requests went in on March 15. Got confirmations and reference numbers back by email for each flight, but no way to follow up refund status based on reference numbers. Been over a month now. Not hopeful of
seeing any refund. May have to resort to a Travel insurance refund request based on Chase Sapphire purchase of tickets. Not hopeful there either.
As of now, Norwegian is unable to advise the time it will take to process your claim (as per their twitter account,) they deal with it on chronological order. You can tweet them at @Fly_Norwegian.
I filed for a refund after our flights were canceled on March 14th, the same day we got the notification. I received another email on Friday asking if we ‘really wanted a refund or if we wanted a credit. The email said we had to fill in another refund for to get the money. We filled in the form and are now, once again, at the back of the line. All they’re doing is reaching out to customers, having them reiterate a refund and then resetting them to the back of their chronological order….hopless. I will never fly them again.
No one will get a refund. They will keep the money and go out of business!
i also applied March 14th and they made me re-request the refund too. Then changed my queue number from 2500 to 53,000!! they are just delaying the inevitable…
How do you know your place in the queue?
Right. How do you know your place in line?
