October 1, 2015 - WOW. The Icelandic airline lived up to it’s name today by announcing flights to Iceland from Toronto or Montreal in Canada for $99.
The WOW Airlines deal, which covered your seat, and associated taxes for the flight, made a huge splash as it entered the Canadian market.
As if that deal wasn’t enough to make you utter “wow”, you can also fly to London, Paris, Berlin, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and Dublin for just $149.
The offer drew enough traffic to the site that the wowair website was overwhelmed with traffic!
WOW! Looks like Canada has a real WOW factor. Our website will be down for maintenance for about 15 minutes.

Keep in mind that the airline is a low cost, no frills carrier. That means that while $99 can get you to Iceland, you will do so without the usual luxury comforts and checked baggage.
Hey, at least it encourages you to get to a country as close to paradise travelling light and mobile, while keeping your stomach empty for Icelandic cuisine!
