Safari WOW

Before I forget, a few words about WOW airlines.

I was more than a little skeptical of a carrier that wanted to take me from DC to Amsterdam for $320. Long story short I was pleasantly surprised and pleased with the ride on their all purple jet. This Icelandic carrier flies brand new Airbuses sporting a cheerful, efficient crew

and got us to Reykevik for the requisite 1 hour layover and then on to Amsterdam on time. All are coach seats without much room (I couldn’t really open my laptop screen all the way) but it was a bargain all things considered and got the job done. United wanted $2400 for the same flight and would have burnt up a bunch of my FF miles in the process. I highly recommend WOW to cross the Atlantic. Just don’t plan to sleep much!
