While many airlines have talked about low budget transatlantic travel, WOW Air have just got on with it. The good news is, their much sought after $99 Boston to Reykjavik fare is now back, with (at the time of writing) wide availability in April, May and June 2015.
Fares for the return leg are not available at $99, but they are as low as $164.39, putting an all-in Boston to Reykjavik return at $263.39.
By way of example, here’s a long weekend flight in late April/early May:
While Iceland is a fantastic destination in itself, you do of course have the opportunity to then fly on to a range of European destinations from Reykjavik. However, don’t underestimate just what a great time you can have in Iceland.
What is WOW like?
I have never flown with them, so I can’t really comment. Here are WOW’s “promises” to you, however.
In short, I’d expect the full low-frills experience, but, as I have said before, I wouldn’t hesitate to book at these prices if the dates suited me.

I just got back from a RT BOS to REK a week or so ago. Two thumbs up! Very pleasant experience on new planes. Definitely pay extra for XL legroom seats. I found them as comfortable as any exit row seat I’ve had on other airlines. Right now, they are flying light. I had the entire row to myself on both flights.
Really appreciate the feedback Bill, good to hear.
Hi, is there a way you can do a post or review of the product/airline? I’ve been intruiged in the past and wouldn’t mind visiting iceland on the cheap!
I am on to this… bear with me.
