We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Link:   My Iceland Trip Report

    I’ve written about WOW Air, a budget airline based in Iceland.  They’re a great option for no-frills flights, with good service and clean planes.

    You can fly from Boston or Washington, DC (Baltimore) to Reykjavik, Iceland, starting at $99 1-way.  Return flights start at $169, which is still very cheap for a flight from Europe!

    You can also fly to Bristol, London, or Paris (connecting through Reykjavik) starting at $149 1-way from Boston or Washington, DC (Baltimore).

    London Calling? Fly From Boston or Washington, DC (Baltimore) for $149 1-Way on WOW Air!

    Travel dates for most destinations are January to March 2016.  Sale fares to Bristol are May or September 2016.

    You can fly from Boston to Reykjavik until mid-April 2016.  And from Washington, DC (Baltimore), to Reykjavik through mid-March 2016.

    Sale fares are only available on certain flights, or on certain days of the week.  So you might have to be flexible.  That said, I was able to find lots of seats on the sale routes!

    You might consider taking advantage of these cheap fares flying TO Europe, then book an award ticket for your return trip!

    The Cheap $99 Fares Between Boston and Reykjavik Are Available Mondays Through Mid-April 2016

    Remember, WOW Air charges fees for seat selection, large carry-on bags, and checked bags.  You’ll get the best deal if you can pack light.

    And here’s my trip report from my visit to Iceland.  I learned Icelanders are some of the kindest folks in the world!

    Pay With the Right Credit Card!

    Don’t forget to book your flights with a credit card that earns bonus miles & points for airline purchases, like:

    Where to Stay?

    There aren’t many chain hotels in Iceland.  Only Best Western, Club Carlson, and Hilton have hotels in Reykjavik (although there are lots of independent hotels).

    If you have the Citi Prestige card, it might be worth checking for hotel rooms available with the 4th night free perk.

    If you’re traveling beyond Reykjavik, you’ll have more hotel choices.  Check out my favorite Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, and Starwood hotels in Europe!

    I like using Hotel Hustle (which even shows you if rooms are available!) or AwardMapper to find hotels for award stays.

    Check out my posts on all the ways to earn Hilton and Hyatt points!

    You Can Earn Hilton Points From Their Credit Cards and These Award Programs
    Note:  If you’re booking a paid stay, it’s worth checking discount sites like Orbitz, Expedia, or TravelPony for deals.  Keep in mind, you won’t get stay credits or points (and might not have your elite status recognized).

    If you prefer a more local experience, Airbnb is a great way to save money, especially for longer stays.  Here are my tips for getting a better Airbnb price and how to choose a safe and comfortable Airbnb.

    Bottom Line

    WOW Air has a great fare sale from from Boston and Washington, DC (Baltimore), to Reykjavik, Iceland, for $99 1-way.

    Or connect in Reykjavik to Bristol, London, or Paris starting at $149 1-way.  Return flights cost more, but you can still find good deals.

    This is a bargain if you can pack light (because WOW Air charges substantial baggage fees).  I flew WOW Air on my trip to Iceland and had a good experience!

    Book soon if you’re interested, because these fares won’t last long.  Let me know if you plan a trip!
