Wow sounds so much better than Meh…

We successfully navigated Wow Air, a purported low cost airline serving the US-Iceland-Europe and, I guess it was a little better than Meh. We were in “Big Seats”, coach from 20 years ago but they had a decent recline and a leg rest. We got these because we’d paid for the Premium Package which included a seat assignment, priority boarding, drinks and food. Unfortunately, they’ve just started flying out of DFW and their caterers were not able to provide the meals that we chose. They did give us what they had to sell, we brought our own instead.

The flight attendants were friendly and helpful if not a bit disorganized. And, even after being pestered constantly by an unattended kid, they still managed to smile. The A330 was recycled from some other airline and the overhead compartments were tiny. Still, they managed to get everything in the overhead.

Not so WOW, tiny overhead bins.

By the way, the 330 is very quiet, I noticed that when I flew to France last your on TAP.

We were on the left side so, this time of the year, the sun never went down, the windows blinds were down the entire flight. Again, no sleep for me.

Somewhere over Greenland.

All in all, Wow maybe didn’t live up to it’s highly exaggerated name but, neither do the other airlines these days. We’ll see how the next 4 flights go. For now, I’ll give them a 7, I like the beat and they’re easy to dance to.
