The utility of that depends on what your priorities are. Low-cost and longer flights, plus checking in again when you change airlines? Norwegian Air is good.

If you want to get on a plane, go to sleep, and wake up at your destination, a extra few hundred dollars is worth it to some people.

How are they 'longer'? Fuel efficient cruise speed for an airliner is very much constant. All airlines try to stick to that, unless the flight is late and makes up to meet the landing slot.

Their flights have layovers, such as at Gatwick for the flight being discussed.

Norwegian will check you through onto their own short-haul flights.
