You can fly WOW Air from Baltimore to Reykjavik for $99 1-way in October, November, or December 2016.  I had a very good experience flying WOW Air to Iceland.

The promotion also includes Boston to Reykjavik for the same price from September to December, 2016.

Other European cities, like Amsterdam, Bristol, Copenhagen, Dublin, Frankfurt, London, and Paris are on sale starting at $159 1-way for travel dates this spring and fall.

Remember, WOW Air charges extra for seat selection, large carry-on bags, and checked bags.  So to get the best deal, skip the seat selection, pack a carry-on that fits under your seat, and don’t check bags.

That said, even with added fees, these fares are a good deal!  Do the math and see if it works for you!

Departing From Baltimore

I found $99 1-way flights on WOW Air to Iceland most Mondays and Saturdays from October to December, 2016.  Return flights start at $149.

There are cheap $159 1-way fares to Amsterdam, Bristol, Copenhagen, Dublin, Frankfurt, London, and Paris available, too.  Travel dates are in April, May, or fall 2016 depending on the destination.

Departing From Boston

Fly between Boston and Reykjavik for $99 1-way from September to December 2016.  I found these cheap fares nearly every Monday and Saturday in that timeframe.

Fly back for $149 or more depending on the dates.  And the same European cities are also on sale starting at $159.

For example, you could fly from Boston to Amsterdam 1-way for $159 with a 90-minute stop in Reykjavik on October 18, 2016, and attend the Amsterdam Music Festival!

Fly back on WOW Air starting at $255.  Or use miles to book a 1-way flight on another airline instead!

Visiting Iceland?  Here’s What You Should Know!

Visiting Iceland was an incredible experience.  I met some of the nicest folks in the world there!

Bring a Chip-and-PIN Card to Iceland

Use the Right Credit Card If You Book

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

Chase Sapphire Preferred – 2X Chase Ultimate Rewards points per $1 you spend on travel and terrific trip delay insurance

Premier Rewards Gold Card From American Express – 3X AMEX Membership Rewards points per $1 you spend on airfare purchased directly from airlines, although I’ve found you almost always get the points even if you book through a 3rd party site like Orbitz!

Barclaycard Arrival Plus – get 2% back when you redeem miles for $100+ travel purchases, including airfare

Citi Prestige – 3X Citi ThankYou points per $1 you spend on airfare

Citi ThankYou Premier – 3X Citi ThankYou points per $1 you spend on travel



Where to Stay?

Best Western, Club Carlson, and Hilton have hotels in Reykjavik (although there are lots of independent hotels).

If you have the Citi Prestige card, check for hotel rooms available with the 4th night free perk.

If you’re going to Europe, check out my favorite Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, 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

You can book cheap flights to Iceland and Europe starting at $99 1-way with WOW Air, departing from Baltimore and Boston.

Pay $99 1-way to Reykjavik, Iceland.  And $159 1-way to Amsterdam, Bristol, Copenhagen, Dublin, Frankfurt, London, and Paris.

Travel dates are in fall 2016, although some European cities have available sale seats in April and May 2016 too.

Seats are limited, so book soon if you’re interested!  Remember, you’ll get cheap flight alerts faster by following me on Facebook and Twitter.
