Oct 26, 2016 at 23:53 comment added Relaxed I have no opinion about the quality of the food served on WOW but I frequently buy snacks or drinks from other low-cost airlines. Psychologically, you feel shortchanged because other airlines did not or do not charge extra for the same thing but usually it's cheaper than at the airport…

Oct 26, 2016 at 15:57 comment added gerrit @RoddyoftheFrozenPeas I've flown with Wow twice in the past two years and landed (nearly) on-time twice. Either way, I would expect that if you buy a single transatlantic ticket with transfer at Keflavík that the airline takes care of the consequences in case of delays, which means the worst that can happen is a free 24 hour stopover in Iceland?
Oct 26, 2016 at 15:54 comment added Michael Hampton @RoddyoftheFrozenPeas I usually avoid low cost carriers, for this and other reasons. But WOW promise that if I buy a single ticket with them and miss the connection that they will be responsible, which most LCCs apparently do not. Of course, if the next flight isn't fairly soon after, then the whole thing is pointless and I should have spent a bit more for a ticket on a more traditional carrier.
Oct 26, 2016 at 15:52 comment added Roddy of the Frozen Peas @gerrit Statistics are statistics, but I've flown Wow 7 times in the past 2 years (most recently June) and at least one leg on all 7 itineraries was delayed departing or landed late. So, from my personal perspective their on-time rate trends to 0. But that's just my personal experience.
Oct 26, 2016 at 13:49 comment added gerrit @RoddyoftheFrozenPeas WOW Air from LGW to KEF, 13% was 16–30 minutes late, 9% was 31–60 minutes late, 7% 1–3 hours late. For Icelandair same route it was 15/9/2. Source. February, WOW Air, 10/6/10, Icelandair 11/10/3. March, WOW Air 8/6/9, Icelandair 17/9/1. I'd say that any flight from LGW is usually late, WOW Air or not…

Oct 26, 2016 at 7:55 comment added JonathanReez Why not buy food at the origin airport or just take some with you?
Oct 26, 2016 at 7:31 comment added mts According to sleepinginairports: Food & Drinks - Food concessions throughout the airport operate according to flight schedules. At the time of this update, there are no 24-hour dining options. Food options include: Joe & the Juice • Loksins Bar • House of Food • Nord • Segafredo. but A small 24-hour general store is available landside. - reading about security lines your problem might rather be time between flights.
Oct 26, 2016 at 6:41 comment added Roddy of the Frozen Peas Be very careful flying Wow Air. They're almost always late. I never book a Wow itinerary with less than 3-4 hours transit time. (My first leg was once delayed 5 hours; the only reason I made my connection was because the second leg was delayed too.)
