Game Over for WOW?
Looks like they have started to cancel flights. Never a good sign...…

An Icelandic associate gives the following count:
- 11 A320/A321s in the fleet
- One reposessed in Montreal
- One repossesed in Miami
- One in Ljubljana for maintenance
- One held at Keflavik by Isavia as collateral for a debt (apparently legal, even though it's only leased by WOW)
That leaves them with seven jets, and they have eight morning flights, so cancellations are pretty much unavoidable.

Game over indeed. I'm currently stuck in LGW with a worthless WOW booking to BOS via KEF. People arriving at check-in are handed the following:-
This is an interesting complication to my day, I'm bound to say.
End of Operation of WOW AIR
Information for WOW AIR passengers
WOW AIR has ceased operation. All WOW AIR flights have been cancelled.How will I reach my destination?
Passengers are advised to check available flights with other airlines.Some airlines may offer flights at a reduced rate, so-called rescue fares, in light of the circumstances. Information on those airlines will be published, when it becomes available.

Kindly soul. I ought to get back the cost of the original booking from the credit card company, but the price of the replacement ticket will be eye-watering. Currently trying to arrange anything that will put me somewhere on the east coast of North America by tonight while costing me no more than my left kidney--the less pretty of the two.

Blind Squirrel Sorry to hear about your situation.
I just check our load checker at Virgin for the VS11 to Boston this afternoon and its wide open, departs at 1635. Could be an option.
I hope everyone at WOW finds employment soon
Regards

Sorry to hear about your predicament Blind Squirrel but surely if you had any involvement with aviation you would have realised that theyhave been in dire straits for some time. Personally I would have not gone anywhere near them; next one Norwegian anybody?
