Norwegian is the only direct airline serving Sweden from Gatwick. I have had mostly good flights with them. It is a shame about the very long queues at Swedish passport control at Arlanda. They seem understaffed and one of the few airports I've travelled to which doesn't have E-gates. The long queueing situation has been for ages. They need to sort that out. Apart from that I agree that the airport is quite nice, definitely less noisy than many other airports. Plenty of seating and toilets too.
Yes Norwegian looks good and you chose a novel way to reach Riga. FYI Norwegian (long-haul) cancelled S'pore before the pandemic in January 2019. It simply couldn't compete with the indirect carriers (Norwegian instead opted for Rio de Janeiro and the higher yields) ... same with Scoot who axed its LGW-BKK-SIN route and AirAsiaX who retreated from Europe back in 2012. with LGW and ORY to KUL. As an aside a better word to use rather than guaranteed (for a flight connex) is "protected." Airlines can never guarantee anything because nothing is certain with aviation.
I flew Norwegian air from Edinburgh to new York. It was a 737 max..those planes that got grounded. No idea how it made it that far. No wifi..basically No in-flight entertainment..but it was super cheap (about 400 return for 2 adults). Just glad we didn't die lol
Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA is the full name of this airline, established in Norway in 1993 as a low-cost option. HQ and main hub at Oslo Intl. Also hubs at Gatwick, Arlanda and Malaga. In Norway they only use the older 737-800 version because people want to avoid the Max ;)

That would be the same plane type as this. I couldn't imagine a transatlantic flight on one of these!
@TravelSoGood it was rough
When was this? Im sure they only used Dreamliners for their long haul flight.
