You Can Now Fly To Iceland For Under €50 Thanks To This Amazing Sale

Good news for anyone looking to tick off the Northern Lights from their bucket list, because WOW air, the Icelandic low-cost airline is offering direct flights from Dublin and Cork to Reykjavik from just €48.99.

The crazy low fare is available by using the promo code WOWSALE for 30% off before midnight on Sunday, February 12, with travel dates from February 10 to June 10.

'WOW Basic' will include the airfare and one personal on board item - such as a laptop or handbag.

Passengers can then pay extra for add-ons such as checked baggage, which starts from €16.99 for 12kg (our advice: wear everything you own onto the plane), or additional legroom.

WOW is also rolling out a new business class fare, WOW Biz which starts from €160.87 and €16.84 from Dublin and Cork.

Fancy business class passengers can book larger seats, board the plane first, carry a personal item and 12kg carry-on bag, check a 20kg bag, enjoy an in-flight meal and avail of cancellation protection all as part of their fare.

The 'Biz' product echoes Ryanair's 'Business Plus' fares, which offer priority boarding, fast track security passes, reserved seats and additional bags, although its planes do not offer separate cabins or seat types.

Instead of an additional business class cabin, WOW will offer a "new cabin" of "Big Seats" in the airline's fleet of Airbus A330 planes on long-haul and selected short-haul flights, with 37 inches of legroom (as opposed to 30 in 'WOW Basic') and a footrest. Very nice.

As reported in The Independent.ie, Skúli Mogensen, founder and CEO of WOW air, said:

“We have worked hard to lower the prices of airfare to Iceland and across the Atlantic to give more people the opportunity to travel.

"Now we intend on lowering the prices for business by providing many of the same services for a much better price.”
