Signing up for credit cards through partner links earns us a commission. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Here’s our full advertising policy: How we make money.

Update: One or more card offers in this post are no longer available. Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers. WOW Air is at it again!  One-way flights from Washington, DC (Baltimore), to Reykjavik, Iceland, are $99 for travel through March 2016! Update:  WOW Air has added $99 1-way fares from Boston to Iceland!  And flights from $149 1-way to Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, Dublin, London, and Paris!

This fare is a great deal if you do NOT check a bag.  Because their baggage fees can add up fast!

These fares are a great deal TO Europe.  But expect to spend ~$135 and up to fly back, which is still a fantastic price!

What’s the Deal?

I’ve written before about great deals to Europe on WOW Air.  And I flew WOW Air to Iceland and had a very good experience.

Now, there’s another great sale!  For $99, you can fly 1-way from Washington, DC (Baltimore) to Reykjavik, Iceland.

The fare is valid until March 2016!

Get Free Hotel Nights With These Cards

If you book a WOW Air flight, remember there are lots of ways to get cheap or free hotel rooms with points from credit card bonuses and spending!

To find hotels you can book with points, I like using Hotel Hustle (which even shows you if rooms are actually available!) or AwardMapper.

Remember, you can transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards or American Express Membership Rewards to lots of hotel programs.

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

Note:  Folks who want to book paid stays could check out discount sites like Orbitz, Expedia, or TravelPony for deals.  But you won’t get stay credits or points (and might not have your elite status recognized).

If you’re feeling adventurous or want to stay in a more residential area, Airbnb is a great way to save money, especially for longer stays.

Bottom Line

WOW Air has 1-way flights from Washington, DC (Baltimore), to Reykjavik, Iceland, for $99.  This is a great deal if you can pack light!  I’ve flown WOW Air and had a good experience. Update:   WOW Air has added $99 1-way fares from Boston to Iceland!  And flights from $149 1-way to Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, Dublin, London, and Paris.

And fares back start at ~$135, which is still very cheap!

Will you plan to visit to Iceland with these fares?
