What happened
Norwegian Air rebuilt Norwegian Reward in early September 2026, with elite status now stepping from Member at 0 flights to Gold at 32.
Qualifying Norwegian Air and Wideroe flights in a 12-month window count, except government-subsidized PSO routes. Each flown segment counts toward status, so a connecting round-trip can deliver 4 qualifying flights. Traveller starts at 8 flights. Bronze starts at 16 flights and Silver at 24 flights. Status lasts one year from the last qualifying flight if enough flights remain. Nordic residents earn Spenn. Members outside the Nordics earn CashPoints worth 1 NOK each.
Bronze members choose one perk and Silver members a second. Extra earnings start at 2 Spenn per euro or 2% extra CashPoints and can reach 6 extra Spenn per euro or 6% extra CashPoints if chosen again at Silver. Fast Track is only at select airports and Gold lounge access is only on Wideroe. Chosen benefits lock in for 12 months. If none is chosen, Norwegian assigns a free 23 kg bag at Bronze and a free standard seat at Silver.
Count segments toward the 8-flight steps and lock Bronze or Silver perks only after checking the 12-month commitment.
