In the winter, many people travel to warm places to escape the cold while others travel on a plane to hit the slopes of a new mountain. It's a good idea to check off a bucket list item like seeing the northern lights. The nights are longer and the skies are darker during the winter season.
Cheap flights between the US and Norway have become available due to the entry of some low-cost carriers in the market.
The cost to travel from New York City to London is $322 on a low-cost carrier like Norse Atlantic. British Airways is one of the airlines that have options.
One of the main reasons to visit Norway is to see the light show in the sky and it will take some extra planning to get to the southern part of the country. Additional transportation is required if you are going to venture north of the circle.
In addition to rail options, your journey north could be as simple as an additional, short flight to a northern village like Tromso; we found flights aboard a low-cost carrier for as low as about $100 round-trip.
If you want to see what Norway is like in the winter, this deal between November and March is the best way to go.
The airlines are Air France, British Airways, Finnair, and others.
There are routes from Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York and Washington.
The travel dates are from November to March.

We were able to find round-trip flights from some Northeast cities under $400, as well as flights from the Southeast, Midwest and even the West Coast.
You can find a great base fare with a low-cost carrier, though it's always a good idea to check the fees before you fly, and consider what elite status or credit card related benefits you might enjoy flying with an airline that's a partner with your U.
There are a few routes and prices here.
There is an itinerary for New York flyers who travel with SkyTeam partners. In the middle of winter, you can get a round-trip on a combination of Air France, KLM and Delta for $384.
You will depart from John F. Kennedy International Airport in mid-January and arrive in Paris the next day after a 90 minute stop. After a 90-minute stop in Amsterdam, you will head back to New York on a Delta plane.
A round trip out of the Washington, D.C. area is a cheap way to leave the East Coast. After disembarking from Dulles International Airport, you will make a 75-minute stop at Keflavik International Airport in Iceland, before continuing on to OSLO for the final 2 hours, 45 minutes.
Leaving from the West Coast will cost you a little more, but not much. itineraries for as low as $433 out of Los Angeles International Airport were found by us. The flight is on an A350 and leaves around dinner time from Los Angeles. You will be on for the last part of the trip after a 45 minute stop. On the return trip, you may be able to find shorter layovers since your stop in Helsinki is a bit longer.
