How the charges fit together
Norwegian publishes an overweight charge when a single bag passes its per-bag limit, a per-bag charge for pieces beyond the included count, different prices for buying in advance versus paying at the airport. The charges are separate and can stack: a bag can be inside your piece count and still be overweight, and an extra bag paid for at the airport can cost more than the same bag bought in advance. Work through them in order — count your pieces against the included allowance below, weigh each bag against its per-bag limit, and only then decide whether buying extra allowance in advance beats paying at the desk.
The cheapest way to avoid these fees
The surest way to pay none of the charges on this page is to book a fare that already includes your bags: on Norwegian, the first fare with checked baggage included is LowFare+ (1 x 23 kg included). Whether upgrading beats the fees depends on the fare difference — compare that number at booking with the fees above; both are published, and the comparison takes a minute.
