Low-cost carrier Wow Air will begin flying between Reykjavik and the East Coast with connections to European cities in the spring. Airfares start at $99 each way.
Wow's announcement last week sait it would begin round-trip flights five days a week between Reykjavik and Boston (BOS) on March 27. One-way fares start at $99, according to Wow's website.
The airline will add seasonal service four days a week between Reykjavik and Baltimore Washington International Airport (BWI) from June 4 through Oct. 31. One-way fares start at $146.
It also provides connecting service from those hubs via Keflavik International Airport (KEF) in Reykjavik to London and Copenhagen at super-low prices.
I checked Friday and found availability for a $99 outbound ticket from Boston to Reykjavik on March 31 with a return flight April 7 for $146. By comparison, my Kayak search found the same round-trip flight on Icelandair for $518. Travel website Jaunted reports scoring a flight from Boston to Copenhagen for $99 one way on April 15.
But with the no-frills come fees, listed prominently on the website, so you need to read the fine print to make sure the deal remains a deal.
Here are some of Wow's fees for flights longer than four hours, which includes U.S.-Iceland flights (note that fees apply to each leg of the journey, and these are online prices only; charges are higher, sometimes double, if you pay at check-in):
--Free, carry-on luggage up to 11 pounds
--$29 for carry-on luggage of certain dimensions that weighs up to 15 pounds
--$48 for first checked bag
--$3 to $24 for seat reservations, based on location on the plane and extra legroom features
Wow will fly Airbus A321 planes between Boston and Reykjavik and flies Airbus A320s from Reykjavik to European cities.
Wow was created in 2011 and has a Virgin-like vibe. From its website: "Wow is a cheeky Icelandic low-cost airline that flies to Iceland from a number of European cities the whole year round and started flying to North America this year."
