So something doesn't add up.
A convenient excuse to hide disappointing loads? I suspect we'll see an announcement soon about a new TATL route for the summer that, entirely coincidentally of course, will be more "family friendly" than LAS.
BA, incidentally, have made it no secret that they now regard Norwegian and its TATL aspirations as a major threat - hence the recent announcements of new routes to FLL and OAK and the "densification" of its LGW 777s to pack in more Y seats (at the expense of J). Will be interesting to see how this one plays out. I'm sure we all remember what happened to Laker and the "dirty tricks" campaign to try and kill VS.

Norwegian cram more passengers into their planes than most, I assume the extra passenger weight its to blame and cannot be mitigated by reducing cargo.
