Ahead ‌of ⁠the ​match, the ⁠two carriers made a light-hearted bet: The one representing the losing country would swap its Instagram profile ⁠picture to that of ‌the ‌winner for 24 ​hours.

“While the ‌tournament is over for ‌us, this friendly bet will forever live in all our hearts,” Norwegian wrote ‌under the unfamiliar logo, adding a congratulatory ⁠message. “We ⁠wish England and British Airways all the best in the semifinal, and we sincerely hope you’ll get to bring football home!“
