Cost-Effective Airlines

Iceland's WOW air Offers Cheaper Flights from the U.S. to Europe

— January 14, 2016 — World
Iceland's airline WOW air is a cost-effective airline service that offers cheaper flights between the U.S. and Europe that range between the $100-$300 price range. The cost-effective price makes travelling across the world a much more accessible experience to the average consumer. The flights offer restrictions such as two seat availability and one-way service, but the reduced price is much lower than traditional airlines.

WOW air specifically caters to the East Coast offering chartered services to top European cities such as London, Berlin, Paris, Reyjavik and a slew of other locations from airports in San Francisco or Los Angeles. Despite the low fees, the airline does have higher checked baggage fees and only 10% of the seats are sold at such low costs. Regardless the service offers a much lower and more accessible way to fly to popular destinations.
