Until December 23, 2017, at 6:59 pm Eastern Time, WOW Air is offering 50% off the base fare on select flights from December 27, 2017, to May 15, 2018!
You have to book a round-trip flight to get the deal. When you search for flights, use the promotion code “WOWXMAS“, and the discount will automatically be added to your ticket!
There are also excellent deals to Iceland and other great European cities:
- Washington D.C. to Berlin for ~$222
- New York to Copenhagen for ~$202
- Boston to Reykjavik for ~$142
- Chicago to Reykjavik for ~$142
If you can travel to Iceland, I highly recommend it. I’ve visited Iceland before and found Icelanders to be some of the kindest folks in the world!
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 most of the best flights for this promotion are for very specific dates. So do a little research first and make sure it’s a good deal for your travel plans.
Hotel Information
If you book a sale flight, remember there are lots of ways to get cheap or free hotel rooms with points from credit card bonuses and spending.
Check out my favorite Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, and Starwood hotels in Europe!
To find hotels that can be booked with points, I use Hotel Hustle (which even shows you if rooms are actually available!) or AwardMapper.
Remember, you can transfer flexible points like Chase Ultimate Rewards or American Express Membership Rewards to different hotel programs.
Note: If you prefer to book paid stays, check out discount sites like Orbitz, Expedia, or TravelPony for deals. But remember you won’t get stay credits or points (and might not have your elite status recognized!).
Airbnb is another terrific way to save money on accommodations, especially for longer stays. Here are some tips on how to negotiate a better Airbnb price, and how to find a safe and comfortable Airbnb.
