WOW Air begins flights from Dublin to Chicago

Flights offered by budget carrier WOW Air from Dublin to Chicago O'Hare began Thursday.

The flights, which go through Reykajavik, Iceland, are on offer for as low as €159 one way including taxes and charges – those prices are open from Thursday for travel between October 2017 and March 2018. Previously, the airline had offered the flights for €139 as an introductory offer.

The airline will fly to Chicago O’Hare up to six times a week during the peak summer schedule while during the rest of the year it’s expected the flights will operate four times a week.

Chicago is the tenth US destination to be connected to Ireland via Iceland since WOW Air began flying from Dublin in June 2015.
