A eulogy for WOW air: Why I’ll miss your $400 flights tgamtravel
Like a true budget-minded traveller, I made sure WOW didn’t get another penny out of me. I found a bag that fit the measurements for the one allowed free carry-on: 42 x 32 x 25 cm,with a weight of less than 10 kg. I managed to pack nine days’ worth of clothes for a spring trip in March. I used compression bags to maximize space and I even fit hiking poles in there. I carried toiletries in my coat pockets and wore layers onto the plane.
The in-flight staff were some of the nicest I’ve ever encountered. Once, on one of WOW’s early flights, the credit-card machine didn’t work and so, cashless, I faced the prospect of going hungry for hours. A flight attendant took pity on me and snuck me a staff meal: a single slice of processed cheese in the middle of a doughy bun. It wasn’t much, she acknowledged, but it was all they had.
