WOW Air Offers “WOW” $69.99 Fares to Europe

On the heels of Norwegian Air announcing $69 flights from the U.S. to Europe, WOW Air followed suit Tuesday beat them to the punch with flights from Los Angeles and San Francisco to Stockholm; Copenhagen; Bristol, England; and Edinburgh, Scotland, for $69.99.

According to WOW Air’s CEO Skúli Mogensen (feature image), the dirt cheap prices are not just a one-time thing, the airline chief told USA Today he plans on making the prices a regular offer. For now, the $69 flights to Europe are good for flights between January 15 and April 5. Mogensen had this to say about the deal:

“WOW air’s goal is to enable everybody to fly by offering the lowest fares on the market. It’s exciting to be driving change in the industry and to stimulate the market by offering these super low fares across the Atlantic.  I am very proud that by offering $69.99 USD fares we are enabling thousands of people to travel that otherwise could not afford it.”

WOW’s California routes are serviced by three new Airbus A330 aircraft, the first wide-body jets in the WOW air fleet. The airline also announced $99 tickets from Miami (MIA) and Boston (BOS) to Iceland and also to Paris, London(LGW), Amsterdam (AMS), Berlin (SXF), and Frankfurt (FRA) for $149 and $129 respectively.

WOW Air operated the youngest fleet in Iceland, and the airline now connects 31 destinations across the U.S. and Europe with the Icelandic capital.
