Günstige Flüge mit WOW air finden

Pretty good for a budget airline.

Positiv: Nice newish planes. Competent but basic service in the air. Nice air crew.

Negativ: Ground agents are bad. Don't care about you. Won't answer questions. Don't care what happens to you. Don't care if you make your flight, or if your connection is delayed. There is no phone support. If you have a problem - you're on your own. Online checkin is broken. Does not work at all.

More like whehhh

Positiv: In flight staff was friendly.

Negativ: $46 for a carry on bag that I was not initially charged for on my flight from Cleveland. Bag had even less contents than when i came.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT KEF AIRPORT AND WITH WOW AIR

Positiv: NOTHING. My experience won't fit in the negative comments, so I'm starting it here. (1/4) We had a 21 hour layover in Iceland, so we left the airport for the night. The next morning, on our way to the airport, we tried to check-in online, but the online check-in service was not working. We arrived about two hours before our scheduled departure and had to wait in a long line since the online check-in service was not working. We checked our bags and ran into our first unfortunate encounter with the airport staff. He sent my friend's bags through, without checking the weight. When he weighed my bag, he then noticed that the first bag sent through was overweight, and mentioned that he had made a mistake. He decided to weigh both our bags together as one entity (to equal 88 lbs.) and made me empty out my suitcase of the extra weight from not only my single bag, but the extra weight from the first bag, as well. He said it was too late to retrieve the first bag, so my friend and I had to divvy up my stuff between our carry on bags. Had we known the first bag was overweight, we would have been able to easily taken stuff out of our OWN suitcases and into our OWN carry ons. Which would have been helpful for what was to come... We then walked through the foodcourt to buy some overpriced snacks for the plane. When we decided it was time to go to our gate, we passed a horrifically long line of people that we assumed couldn't be the line to get through customs, because the last few times we had been at this airport, there was always a maximum of 20 people in line. Once we realized that this line was for customs, we asked an employee working the line if we'd be able to make our flight on time if we had to wait in this line. He said not to worry, that we would be okay, because all of the airlines were notified of the unexpected delay at customs. We patiently waited in this line, and as soon as we were through, ran to our gates. At this point, we knew we were going to JUST miss the time for the gate to close, but were consoled by the fact that the employee at customs had told us that the airlines were notified that some of us would be late arriving due to the unexpected delay and line. We arrived at the gate, and the airport staff working the gate laughed in our faces and told us it was too late. They said they never heard from anyone about any delays at customs, and that the transportation bus to the airplane had left ten minutes ago. "Too bad!" they said. How could it have left ten minutes prior, if the gate said it had closed only a few minutes before we arrived? A lie. We asked about our luggage.

Negativ: (2/4) They said that they would notify the plane, and the bags would be taken off, and that we could find them at baggage claim. So let me get this straight - the plane can wait for someone to sift through all of the baggage, find our bags, and remove them from the plane, but wouldn't allow us to take the probably less time to just get on the plane? We asked if there was anyone from WOW that we could speak to, and they pointed us in the direction of another gate. Once we got to that area, there was another group of people that also missed their flight due to the unexpected line at customs. They were speaking with a lady who was telling them that no one from WOW was at the airport, they all went home for the day. We also attempted to talk to this lady, but she was in a hurry to leave for the day, as well, and was very dismissive and talked to us in passing. On our way to baggage claim, we passed customs, which by this time, had no line. We spoke to three people that were standing in that area, and were looking for the guy who told us that our plane was notified of the delay. He was no longer around, but the staff standing there had said that they were unsure why we were told that any aircrafts were notified of delays because that was not true, and that they also were not even ALLOWED to tell travelers this information. So.... the guy that we spoke to in the customs line lied to my face, and was not even allowed to tell us what he did. This infuriates me for MANY reasons. If I had known that we would not make it through the customs line in time, I would have politely asked other travelers towards the front of the line if we could pass them. Most people are very nice, and would of course let us in front of them. I know I would have done that for someone. But instead, since a KEF AIRPORT STAFF told me that MY PLANE WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DELAY, I patiently waited in line. Yet another lie. We finally got to baggage claim, and spoke with one of the employees there. He told us that he was not aware of any bags coming back in, but it usually takes about 30 mins. At this point, it probably had already been that long, but my friend waited anyways. Meanwhile, I went back to the check-in area to see if there was anyone available to talk to about the circumstances, or if there was another flight we could get on because both my friend and I had to work the next day. There was no one anywhere, except for at the the Icelandair counter. The woman I spoke to there was very nice (shocker), but there was nothing she could do, that all of the flights leaving the airport to the US for the rest of the day had just closed their time for purchasing tickets. If we had not been lied to and if the staff had not been rude and pointing us in all different directions, I probably could have gotten us on a flight out that night. But yet again, we JUST missed the mark due to being misinformed and mistreated by the airport staff.

MY REVIEW WILL NOT FIT. CONTINUED HERE.

Positiv: (3/4) My friend finally came up from baggage claim and had told me that no bags came, and the staff member we were speaking to downstairs told us that our luggage was probably already on its way to Chicago. Note that he never asked for our names or our baggage claim ticket. We bought a plane ticket on Icelandair for the next afternoon, found an ACE Guesthouse to stay at, paid for another cab, and left with our carry-ons with nothing useful for overnight because of the first encounter at the check-in counter where we weren't able to properly remove our chosen belongings from our suitcases. The next morning after I woke up and as soon as I knew our original flight had landed, I tried to call O'Hare to confirm that our bags had indeed made it to Chicago. I was not able to get ahold of anyone that could help. When we got to the airport, 4.5 hours early, we checked in and went straight to baggage claim to double check where our bags were. We were not leaving Iceland until we were 100% sure of where our belongings were. Lo and behold, it's the same employee that was working in the baggage claim area the day before. He remembered us, and told us that he had good news and bad news. The good news was that they found our bags, the bad news was that was our bags were on their way to Boston. Boston? BOSTON?! He said they went to Boston because if there were bags left here, it was mandatory that they get sent as fast as they could to the country they are scheduled to arrive at, no matter what airport. That location happened to be Boston. We have NO idea why this was the case, when they knew that we had missed our flight and were still in Iceland. Isn't it mandatory that luggage stay with the owner? We wanted to call Boston to make sure that our bags were there, and to have them sent to Chicago so that they were in Chicago when we arrived later that day. He told us that there was nothing that we could do, that we would have to wait until we get to Chicago, file a claim, and then they would have our bags sent to us a day or so later. Note again, that he never asked for our names or our bag claim number. Begrudgingly, we left him, even more furious, and waited for our next flight. Meanwhile, I tried to get ahold of anyone from O'Hare – no luck. I tried to get ahold of anyone from Boston – no luck. Finally, I decided to call WOW Customer Service. I explained the situation to her, and told her that it was absolutely necessary to know where my bags were, and to know that they would be waiting for me in Chicago when I arrived, also questioning WHY protocol called for our bags being sent to Boston. She asked for the claim number, and told me the last time the bags were scanned was in Iceland. They were at the airport. I told her this was impossible, because I spoke to the same person the day before and today, and he said our bags were not at this airport. She insisted that they were.

Negativ: (4/4) At this point, a few hours had gone by, and we were running short on time. With AN HOUR left until our DEPARTURE TIME, we went back to baggage claim and told the same employee that WOW had told us our bags were scanned in here. He seemed confused, and said he was not sure how this could be possible. My friend spotted her bag behind him, and pointed it out. He seemed shocked. I didn't see my bag anywhere, and asked him where it was, and he said that maybe it got swapped out with someone else's, because he didn't see it. My friend asked him to please check the back for my suitcase. Sure enough, it was there. CLEARLY, this employee had no idea what he was doing. He gave us misinformation numerous times. If we had not been so persistent, we never would have known that our bags were still at KEF in Iceland. HOW WOULD WE HAVE GOTTEN OUR BAGS TO CHICAGO??????????? If I had listened to the guy and trusted him, we would have landed in Chicago, filed a claim, and seen that there were NO bags in Chicago, and NO bags in Boston. Our belongings would have been stuck in Iceland. We then had hardly any time to go back to the check-in counter and check our bags. We waited in another line, checked our bags, and ran to our gate. Every other KEF staff member that we tried to speak to was very short and rude, unhelpful, and in a hurry to get us out of the way. Even when we tried to find someone at a kiosk, there was no one there working the kiosk. Nearly every employee at KEF had lied to my face, and did not care that I needed help. If I had not been lied to about information regarding notifications, flights, baggage, etc. on numerous accounts, I know for a FACT that I would have made sure I made my flight. This experience is absolutely unacceptable. The incapable, rude, and dishonest airport staff and unaccommodating airlines costed us an extra $1,000 each. It also cost us the couple hundred dollars we would have made at work the next day. I will never fly WOW again. I will never fly to or through Keflavik International Airport again. I will never recommend WOW. I will never recommend KEF. This left such a bad taste in my mouth that I don't really ever want to go to Iceland again. And I know my friend feels the same way.

Negativ: Seats are too small

Negativ: Didn't take the flight. Wasn't allowed to cancel.

Lost Money

Positiv: Nothing

Negativ: Seats e not comfortable. u have to buy everything. even a water staff is not caring

Don't think I'll fly wow again

Positiv: Apart from over priced in flight food and drink, uncomfortable seats I was treated awfully on return flight from Newark by one attendent. I will be writing an official complaint today. I was charged a ridiculous price $100 for my carry on bag that was checked as free personal item on first trip. Lack of available information or internet at boarding gate was shocking. I explained multiple times I had the correct dimensions of bag and it was smaller then people's rucksacks who got on before me and were not charged. Besides this the whole thing was handled very badly by the boarding crew there with the lady being very rude to me, I was quite shocked and upset getting in plane. I had no money left on my visa afterward to even get food or drink in airport stop ever which was delayed.

Negativ: Staff rude , uncomfortable flight /plane. Over priced service. No cash accepted in flight.

Cheap flight

Positiv: The price

Negativ: The delay

Positiv: Crew was wonderful.

Negativ: My check in luggage got left behind .Didn't receive it for five days. A set of cuff-links I had in my luggage as a graduation present for my nephew was missing when my luggage finally arrived.

Positiv: The flight was smooth and on time. The crew was competent.

Negativ: For the second time my luggage was missing on arrival at Baltimore too. Didn't receive it until seven days after arrival.

On time

Positiv: More leg room

Negativ: No movie or entertainment

Positiv: Boarding was simple compared to the complexity of many airlines with all their zones - peasants in the back type of thing. Fare was about half that of other airlines. Delays on both planes, but weather may have been an issue.

Negativ: My allocated seat was so cramped my knees were compressed against the seat back in front, however I sat. I am not unduly tall. They did actually move me and that was a bit better. Had to pay for water - that's wrong!

Cheap flights and still amazing

Positiv: The price for the flight was very nice and the staff was on top of things especially for how long the flight was.

Negativ: The food and drinks were very overpriced and taxed as well.

It's a cheaper flight that is run by even cheaper airline

Positiv: The price of the ticket, initially that is, see below.

Negativ: You must pay for a carry-on, which wrecks the substantial price difference between Icelandair and Wow! They called for Final Boarding over 50 minutes before departure and then proceeded to not even leave the gate until actual departure time, no stated delay either. They want you to rush on and wait, and pay! Woke up the cabin to try and sell hats with over 3 hours to go on flight. Not even water or a simple snack was complimentary. The Spirit Airways of Europe....

The Spirit Airlines Of International Travel

Positiv: The price

Negativ: Boarding procedures are terrible. No perks. You pay the difference in price in your baggage and other fees.

Billig Flieger WOW / eine schlechte Wahl

Positiv: Das Flugpersonal war nett, der Flug ist auch pünktlich gestartet.

Negativ: Das war zwar vorher bekannt, dass sämtlicher Service zusätzlich kostet. Negativ aufgefallen ist mir zum einen das sogar das Trinkwasser berechnet wurde und die Sitzplätze extrem unbequem waren. Dann günstiger Flug, aber nicht günstig genug dafür dass ich mit der Gesellschaft noch einmal fliegen würde.

Negativ: Das war vorher bekannt, dass sämtlicher Extras berechnet werden. Das aber für Trinkwasser etwas berechnet wird finde ich unrichtig. Die Sitze waren extrem unbequem und super eng. Nicht günstig genug dafür dass ich da mit noch einmal fliegen würde.

Positiv: Nothing

Negativ: I did not like that I was unaware they changed my flight number from 404 to 406 but because of storm warning it made sense. I did not like how they board you on the plane in Iceland. They make you take a bus and then climb up stairs into plane out of ticket order. Standing on those stairs in rain and wind is not fun. also the food selection for morning is awful.

Negativ: Everything.

Negativ: Everything.

Crew disappeared when there was an issue!!

Negativ: There was a baggage issue on my return flight. Half of the bags did not arrive- or so we were told after waiting 45 minutes. Then we were directed to claim a missing bag. The only Wow cremember there addressed the group then disappeared for over an hour never to be seen again!!! I searched the whole terminal for a Wow employee and could not find one. Bags were eventually returned to us by another air crew!

Their system has zero give

Negativ: Snow storm cancelled dozens of flights. I was told I couldn't be rebooked at the airport and needed to call in. Spent 6+ hours on hold. Following day was informed at airport that I couldn't be rebooked by customer service and was given no further options. I bought a ticket on another airline. I'll never fly WOW again.

Negativ: Sitze ungemütlich und zu eng. Die Maschine wurde kurzfristig geändert und war nicht für Interkontinentalflüge ausgerichtet. Daher musste ein ungeplanter Zwischenhalt in Bangor/Maine zum Tanken eingelegt werden. Trotz der resultierenden zweistündiger Verspätung gab es nicht einmal eine Flasche Wasser o.ä. als Ausgleich. Selbst nachts wurde das Licht komplett hell angelassen und nachts versucht, die Dutyfree-Artikel zu verkaufen. Schlafen daher unmöglich. Das ist der offenbar der Preis, den man für den günstigen Flugpreis zahlen muss.

Would not let me board the flight

Positiv: Nothing

Negativ: Would not let.me board the flight as my name was booked as Chris and not Christopher. When calling support they refused to change my name as it was 4 hours before the flight....horrible, they cost me a lot of.money!!!

Basic, basic.

Positiv: The staff was friendly.

Negativ: This is a really basic airline, without creature comforts. No food or drinks are included, and what is for sale on board, is overpriced. The regular seats are really tight, don’t expect to stretch your legs.

Negativ: The plane was very noisy and uncomfortable but I guess that’s what you get for lower budget airlines.

Positiv: the staff was nice and attentive

Negativ: the boarding procedures at CDG were lengthy and unlcear

Negativ: not agreeing with the policy that you have to buy even the WATER... that is cheap!!

Positiv: nothing can come to mind and unable to get connection flyer to their flight on time.

Negativ: staff were not experienced to control connecting flyers-should have released those passengers first

Positiv: non event --missed connection flight due to bad flight crew. my name is liam from new jersey

Worst Airline

Positiv: Nothing

Negativ: Poor customer service

Positiv: Nothing

Negativ: N/a

Negativ: Food/drinks are overpriced. Seats are too small. There’s no entertainment for long haul flights. Water isn’t even served. The front desk was very dismissive of any customer service when our plane was late.

Positiv: The flight was held when our previous flight was delayed so no rebooking was necessary.

Positiv: Great legroom, nice crew.

Negativ: The confusion about whether or not our flight was going to be on time was extremely stressful. Our first flight got delayed 90 minutes and our second flight got moved up 30 minutes, so our two hour delay shrunk to 0 minutes. The flight crew in Paris had no information about whether or not they were going to hold our flight, and we all sprinted through the airport in Iceland to board our second flight.

nice flight crew - surprised they didn't charge me for that..

Positiv: The on board crew was friendly

Negativ: Flights were late. I also did not like that they charge for everything. Maybe that is how most airlines are now, but I found it irritating.

Negativ: No luggage included.
