WOW air, Iceland’s low-cost transatlantic airline, continues to extend its North American growth by announcing a new route from Orlando International Airport (MCO) to Keflavik International Airport (KEF). The inaugural flight will take-off before the end of the year on December 18.
Orlando is the airline‘s 14 U.S. destination and service from MCO will be offered seasonally from December through the end of April, three days a week.
To celebrate the launch of the new route, WOW air is offering $99 one-way fares from Orlando to Iceland (KEF) and $149 one-way fares from Orlando to London (LGW), Frankfurt (FRA), Edinburgh (EDI), Dublin (DUB), Paris (CDG), Copenhagen (CPH), Stockholm (ARN), Brussels (BRU), Berlin (SFX) and Amsterdam (AMS). Travelers looking to travel beyond Europe can purchase $399 one-way flights to New Delhi (DEL) from Orlando. The special fares will be available for travel between January and March 2019 when booking a round-trip ticket.
“We are thrilled to launch our service to and from Orlando this December giving Floridians the chance to experience magical winters and beautiful springs in Europe for an affordable price,” said Skúli Mogensen, CEO and Founder of WOW air. “Passengers will also have the opportunity to take advantage of the WOW Stopover and make the most of their layover time by staying in Iceland for as long as they wish. It gives travelers the flexibility to break up a long-haul journey while taking in everything Iceland has to offer on their way to Europe, all on the same trip.”
“Milan, Berlin, Edinburgh and New Delhi, these are just some of the exciting new destinations that are just one-stop away from Orlando with the arrival of Wow Airlines, says Phil Brown, Chief Executive Officer of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority. “Wow’s ability as an international low-cost carrier helps open doors for more business and leisure travel between Orlando and the world.”
WOW air looks forward to partnering with Orlando International Airport to bring the residents of Central Florida the best flights to Europe.
