Last October WOW Airlines, a low-cost carrier based in Reykavik, Iceland, offered a promotional deal with $99 airfares from Boston and Baltimore to Keflavik Airport in Reykjavik, Iceland.
They either didn’t get enough or are looking to capitalize some more, but they are back at it again!
It’s $99 (on select dates) from Boston and Baltimore / Washington DC (BWI) to Reykjavik. They also continue on to London and Copenhagen for around ~$200 / person.
Dates are filling up fast – at the time of this writing there were still a few dates left at $99 so check quickly.

The fares that show up as $110 in Google Flights DO price out at $99 on WOW’s website – so you can see that there are still a few dates there with really cheap fares.

So your $99 fare isn’t going to ACTUALLY be $99. Return flights leaving Iceland are slightly more expensive, so one option I was thinking about was using miles to return back to the US.
