  • Wow Air's bright pink planes were easy to spot at every airport. And they low fares were a very convincing argument to choose them. But were they any good?

    Probably many people saw the mistake at 0:24... thats fine and just happens sometimes :D
    Also did you note? The carbet in the plane looked like it was written "WOW WOW WOW" everywhere xD
    What I didn't like - 6 ads in 12 minutes! - really? thats 1 every 2 minutes..

    Man, flying with WOW last year was the first time I’ve flown in 10 years. I remember that engine noise just completely freaked me out. But this was an amazing video to watch for nostalgia; now the airline is defunct, if you didn’t know

    CDG is my hometown airport especially 2A and 2E :D. Hope you remembered me David. Anyway this tripreport is nice, plus, I heard the "Merci" while the guy was checking your ticket before entering the gate. That made me a bit more happy than other tripreports, even though I love them as well. Simply Aviation got my maximum support.

  • @Ugo98
    @Ugo98 2 роки тому

    I like the fact that flying low cost carriers often allows to enjoy the engine view and sound by sitting in front of it for little or no extra cost... a low cost widebody with such Trent engines is simply perfect

    I haven't flown long distance in almost 20 years and back then we enjoyed the movie they showed (one!) and read a book or had a conversation when we were not asleep. Thank you for the report, David. Now I want to fly to Iceland where it is nice and cool...

      @davidperry4013 Рік тому

      The first time I heard a RR engine in an aircraft is when I was flying on the American Airlines 757 flying pencil from DFW to ORL. This was back in 2003. When I heard that engine spool, it put a smile on my face. Those blue cloth AA seats with the black leather adjustable headrests are comfy chairs. I believe that they were made by Haeco.

    • @virthanki902
      @virthanki902 7 років тому

      David on which airline did you come from Vienna to Paris and How was Iceland because it is probably colder then Austria. That is my opinion on when we went but we went in the summer so can't say about winter temperatures in Austria. Austria was awesome though. Better then boring U.K

    • @virthanki902
      @virthanki902 7 років тому

      We were in Heathrow last weekend. David is 18 years old. He was coming from Istanbul to Paris. ;)
      In Iceland as well as Austria it's winter so the temperatures are generally below freezing point. ;)

    When travelling alone and just wanting to explore i find these systems that budget airlines do actually quite good. You pay very low fees with everything excluded and you just pay for that what you need instead of already having everything.
    Nice tripreport.

    • @simply_aviation

      Exactly, but on long haul I prefere full service airlines more than low cost ones. ;)

    I have only been on narrow body jets so just a 3 3, the normal configuration

    • @simply_aviation
      @simply_aviation  7 років тому

      Maybe the most uncommon one is a 3-2 configuration on Avro, Super Jets and the C-Series. ;)

  • @Micpink5

    Are the in-flight charging ports really universal or do they only take USB? For example, if I wanted to charge my laptop with an actual charging cable (not like a phone USB), could I plug it in somewhere?

    Nice another trip report. How many people are filming for you guys now ? WOW air are indeed very cheap, but they do have an awful amount of long delays, when they only have 3 A330's covering a large amount of routes, when one gets delayed it has a horrible knock on effect.
    But that being said you can't beat the super cheap fares and its nice they have the 2 - 4 - 2 seating so if flying as a couple you don't have to share a middle seat, which is a major bonus.
    Great report and filming as always

    • @simply_aviation
      @simply_aviation  7 років тому

      We are two people David and Felix. Yes, sadly but they are getting more A330 soon. ;)

    TF-SPR, TF-SUM, TF-AUT, and TF-WIN. These are just my guesses as to what names Wow Air would give to their 4 incoming A330neos. Named after the seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

    • @simply_aviation
      @simply_aviation  7 років тому +1

      Warum sollten wir das machen? Viele Preise die wir zahlen repräsentieren nicht die Wirklichkeit, da wir halt versuchen so günstig wie möglich von A nach B zu kommen und dafür alles mögliche nützen. Manchmal schrieben wir es ja auch dazu (z.B.: Ryanair). War kalt im Island ;)

    • @roycastro8678

  • @Gorantaylis
    @Gorantaylis 7 років тому +1

    It's a 3 hour flight, so IFE isn't really needed, but it is still an A330. It should have an IFE for longer routes it's used on.

    • @simply_aviation
      @simply_aviation  7 років тому

      WOW Air is a low cost airline, they save money is they don't have built in screens...if you need an IFE you can rent a ipad full of movies and tv shows! ;)

    If you are locking to do a trip report of another U.S. airline I would recommend trying Alaska's new Premium economy product

    Thanks for doing this great trip report! If you don't mind me asking, how much did you have to pay for the extra legroom? I live in the United States, but not in one of the cities that Wow Air flies to. Icelandair does.

      I payed around 10$ for the extra legroom. ;)

    Did you have to check in luggage or why did you go to the counter to check in? Do they not offer online-check in?

      I prefere paper boarding passes instead of digital ones! ;)

      Oh well that makes sense you being an aviation fanatic and all that...I guess there is no surcharge then for checking in at the counter?
