A good sale to Reykjavik

The $439 fare includes ONE checked bag (if you don’t select the regular economy fare, checked luggage is $69 each way at checkin)

The $349 fare is a Basic Economy / Economy Light fare which does not include checked luggage. It does include advance seat assignment, one carry-on up to 22lbs and one personal item. If you select this option and decide to check a bag at checkin, it will be $69 each way.

We have flown both WOW Air and Icelandair. We feel you are better off with Icelandair as you get more value and they nickel and dime less than WOW Air.
