Fly Bristol to San Fran for ?139

By Bristol24/7  Thursday Jan 14, 2016

Ultra-low-cost airline Wow air has begun selling flights from Bristol to California from £139, one-way.

The tickets come with a two-hour layover in Iceland and return flights start from £400.

The latest offer comes after the airline announced one-way flights to Toronto, Washington, Boston and Montreal for £99 as its first destinations from Bristol last year.

Flights via Reykavik start from June and will leave four times a week to Los Angeles and five times a week to San Francisco.

The first tickets went on sale on Tuesday, starting at £139 for a single. The cheapest fares available by Thursday were £215 for a single in September.

Skúli Mogensen, founder and CEO of Wow air, said: “The addition of Los Angeles and San Francisco to our rapidly expanding network is a game changer for Wow air as we cement ourselves as the industry leader in the ultra-low-cost long haul category.

“We always aim to be the cheapest flight provider on the routes we fly to and with the £139 fare between the UK and California we have accomplished this once again.”
