Wow Air unveil a €199 fare from Dublin to San Francisco

Fancy travelling a little further afield than usual this summer, but don't have the funds to cover a hefty flight bill? Low-cost carrier WOW Air has announced fares from Dublin Airport to San Francisco and Los Angeles for as low as €199 one way for Irish passengers... and all you need to agree to is a short one hour 20 minute layover in Reykjavik, Iceland. The airline's inaugural flights to San Francisco begin on June 9 and will operate five days a week, followed by LA on June 15, flying four days a week. WOW air’s expansion to California follows the successful launch of transatlantic services from Dublin, via Iceland, to Boston and Washington, D.C. in 2015. The California routes will be serviced by three new Airbus A330-300 aircraft, the first wide-body planes in the WOW air fleet, which will each carry 340 passengers. Tickets to San Francisco and Los Angeles will go on sale this month.
