WowAir sale: flights US to Europe starting at $89

WowAir is having a sale starting at $89 one-way from Boston to London, and has $99 flights from many locations to destinations all around Europe (+ Tel Aviv). Aside from London, Milan, Italy and Lyon, France are particularly good deals at $99-129 one-way from most US served cities. Prices bounce WowAir is having another $69 flight sale! GO GO GO!
The prices are real, no added taxes or anything. I booked one of these flights for my honeymoon ($69 San Francisco to London one-way) and it was not bad at all, really. Well, it was what you would expect, at any rate. Book ASAP (these prices will disappear within hours, most likely); fly September through November. Fly from: BOS, BWI, PIT, LAX, SFO, MIA. Fly to: Paris, London, Brussels, Edinburgh, Dublin, Stockholm, Berlin, or Copenhagen. If you're not sure about booking, you can always cancel and get a good chunk of change back. (Here's how.) For example, the $69 flight from Los Angeles to Paris has $40 of taxes and only $29 of fare, so if you buy it and then cancel and email them for a tax refund, you'll get $40 back, only losing $29 on your unused fare. You may as well book!

Remember that once you're in Europe, there are super-cheap discount airlines like Ryanair offering $5-20 flights from country to country, so it's super easy to fly into one country and out of another, giving you a 2-for-1 vacation. WowAir also gives you a free stopover in Iceland if you book a round trip flight, so if that's more your thing, try that instead!

As always, WowAir is about as no-frills as it gets. Bring your own food, water, blanket, lack of dignity, etc., and somehow do this while bringing only one tiny personal item weighing up to 10 kg. (The baggage rules change sometimes. Check 'em here.) I recommend going the punk rock route with a carry-on vest, then repacking once safely on the plane. Vague instructions here.

 really easy connections from London Stansted airport to ALL of the rest of Europe (and Morocco, too!) with prices as low as $2 (yes, that's two dollars) because Stansted is a major hub of the ultra-low-cost airline Ryanair. Both Ryanair and Primera are real no-frills airlines similar to WowAir, with no checked bag and no food included. It's looking like about $175 to come back from Europe with Primera, giving you a round-trip of as low as $274 (but probably a little more if you aren't super flexible on dates).

This would have been very convenient for me the past four years when my now-husband was living in Birmingham. Take these great discount flights because I can't!

Norwegian has been expanding their network fast, and they just announced nonstop flights from the US to Paris for $149 one-way! This is very exciting

, particularly because it flies to the most convenient airport in Paris, Charles de Gaulle! $149 direct from Boston or New York JFK; $175 direct from Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Newark, and Los Angeles; and $229 from Denver and Oakland. Paris's second-most-convenient airport, Orly, has cheap flights to the rest of Europe with Vueling, Air France, and EasyJet, and of course there's also the train and Megabus/other cheap European buses, so you have no excuse to not go and drown yourself in baguettes. Venture forth!

$89-99 one-way flights from US (many cities) to Europe (many cities)!

WowAir is the airline I have the most unhealthy relationship with. I hate flying with them, but I can't say no to prices like $89 FLIGHTS TO EUROPE! This is incredible, especially because you can fly from Chicago, San Francisco, LA, and Miami with this flight. Fly to France, the UK, Germany, Belgium, and more,
and don't forget that you get a free stopover in Iceland if you book round-trip. This is super duper exciting for those of you in the oft-forgotten Midwest. GO GO GO! It will probably sell out quickly. Sale prices start as soon as July. Check it out!

Weird politics in Qatar = super cheap one-ways with Qatar Airways?

About a week ago, in a rather surprising move, a whole bunch of Arab countries severed ties with Qatar, claiming it destabilizes the region by supporting terrorist groups. Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and the UAE cut all flights to/from Qatar, which includes major gulf airlines like Etihad and Emirates. The US has just said it's a complicated political situation and hasn't issued any travel warnings or cut off flights (other than the widespread carry-on laptop ban), so I wouldn't worry about traveling to Qatar unless you're from the aforementioned countries.

Now, modern Middle Eastern politics may not be my forte, but cheap flights are,
and I couldn't help but notice some unusually cheap one-way flights between the US and Asia this summer with Qatar Airways, as low as $341 from New York to Bangkok. This is exciting because one-way flights are often the same price as round trip on Qatar and other major airlines, meaning you can't easily fly into Asia and hop around countries, which is a shame because of the super-cheap flights (like, $15 is not unusual) between countries in Southeast Asia. But now you can! Even better, it's not a whole lot more to fly from a non-hub airport. I found a flight from Philadelphia to BKK for $471 one-way, and there may be more. The website is not super helpful, but try searching on google flights or kayak for your ideal flight. It's unclear how extensive this sale is and when it will end, but my guess is that it may coincide with their sale ending the night of June 16, so book soon.


All Qatar Airways flights between the US/Europe and Asia (to my knowledge) stopover in Doha, and Qatar Airways advertises a free visa AND free tour AND free hotel stay for all passengers, and I have found them to have a pretty enjoyable economy-class flight experience, so this is a pretty sweet deal. Check out my review of Qatar Airways here.

June flights US to/from Europe $127 round trip!!!! (Even less with promo code??)

UPDATE: This is dead. Died fast. RIP.



WowAir is having truly the most killer flight sale known to mankind. $55 flights from many US hubs (San Francisco, Boston, LA, DC, etc.) to multiple cities in Europe (Ireland, UK, Germany, etc.), and 65 euros ($72) to come back. Or you can book from Europe! Same same.

Because the flights are booked one-way, you can easily book yourself a lovely Euro-adventure (or Americadventure): fly in to Berlin, take a discount airline to say, Dublin for like $10, then fly home from Dublin. AMAZING! OMG! Plus the 30% off coupon code WOWBDAY should work until midnight June 1. SELLING OUT FAST. Go!
