WOW premium is an enhanced version of the WOW biz offering that was announced in 2017.

"We have received great interest from businesses that want to provide their employees that travel a more comfortable experience at affordable prices that are not currently available," says Skúli Mogensen, founder and CEO of WOW air. "We believe we can be a leader in this market by offering a premium product at half the price of our competitors and look forward to continuing to lower prices over the Atlantic."

For a limited time, travelers can purchase select one-way WOW premium fares to Iceland from Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO) and New York (EWR and JFK) for as low as $399*. Additionally, WOW air is offering select one-way WOW premium fares from Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO) and New York (EWR and JFK) to Amsterdam (AMS), Paris (CDG) and London (LGW and STN) via Iceland for as low as $599*.

Travelore Tips: The 5 Cheapest Ways To Fly To Europe

Feeling adventurous? Aeroflot is offering low fares to Paris this winter.

There’s never been a better time to book, as a bunch of airlines—many you've probably never heard of—are competing for your business.

When you're looking to travel to Europe, it's always smart to comparison-shop for tickets. We've compiled a list of under-the-radar airlines that are safe, and most are reliable, but they don't include many frills. In exchange for discounted fares, many airlines charge for seat assignments, meals, and checked luggage. And none of these airlines offer much legroom. Still, if you do it right, you'll save hundreds of dollars over similar itineraries on American, United, Delta, or any of the big European airlines. Do your wallet a favor and look into these lesser-known international airlines.

Iceland's WOW Air got the Internet buzzing in the summer with $99 one-way fares to Paris and Amsterdam. Those deals are gone, but this winter you could pay as little as $400 round-trip from Boston or Baltimore to more than dozen cities, including London, Paris, Berlin, and Barcelona.

Don't expect to fly in total comfort, however. From the East Coast, you'll be on a short red-eye to Reykjavik, landing at about 4 a.m. to catch a connection. And luggage charges are draconian: Your only free bag is an 11-pound carry-on. Depending on where you go, putting one bag in the overhead bin could cost as much as $48. You won't save by checking bags, either. You first bag will set you back $67.

Wow Air is useful if you live near Baltimore or Boston, but for most Americans, Norwegian Air is a better bet, since it flies to Europe from Oakland, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, New York, and Boston. Not every flight is cheap—some cost $600 or more round-trip this winter—but there are some steals, like Oakland–Stockholm for $325 and New York–London for $450.

Norwegian flies new Boeing 787s with mood lighting, big windows, and a modern entertainment system. You can bring a large carry-on for free, though if you buy the cheapest fares, you'll pay for checked bags and meals.

Germany's Condor Airlines mostly takes Europeans on cheap U.S. vacations, but don't let that stop you. In winter, Condor only flies between Frankfurt and Las Vegas, but in the warmer months Condor adds more cities, including Providence, Baltimore, Seattle, Minneapolis, and Austin.

You won't find eye-popping fares—Las Vegas–Frankfurt runs about $850 in February—but you'll have a refined experience that includes a hot meal, a free carry-on and checked bag, and basic in-flight entertainment.

If you wait until May, you might try WestJet Airlines, Canada's quirky Southwest Airlines clone, which flies to London, Glasgow, and Dublin during the busy spring and summer travel season. While WestJet focuses on Canadians, it wants to poach some Americans, selling flights from New York to London Gatwick, stopping in Toronto, for about $750 roundtrip. It offers similar deals from Los Angeles, Orlando, and San Francisco.

WestJet provides a comfortable ride—you'll get light snacks and a new entertainment system—with few fees. Even most bags fly free.

Feeling adventurous? You could try Aeroflot. You'll fly a circuitous route, but if you're okay stopping in Moscow, Russia's top airline can get you from New York to Paris this winter for $747, or from L.A. to Barcelona for $711.

Forget about what you know about Soviet-era airliners. Today's Aeroflot flies modern Airbus jets to the United States, and on service it receives three stars from airline ranking firm Skytrax—the same as United, American, and Delta. Plus, it's a full-service airline, so unless you pack heavy, you'll save on fees.
