Price War on Transatlantic Flights on the Cards

A low cost Icelandic airline is to start offering flights from Dublin to the US.

WOW air says the service from Dublin to Boston and Washington via Reykjavic will begin in October.

But unlike direct flights from Ireland, passengers will not be able to pre-clear US customs and border control as the route is via Iceland.

Flights will cost from 149 euro one-way.
