Couple learns downsides of discount Wow Air

Wow Air is already wowing Cincinnati area travelers with its super cheap fares to Europe. The discount Icelandic airline starts service from CVG early next year. But one woman says before you book, know the downsides of deep discount flying. Julia Schamer and her boyfriend decided to try Wow Air, lured by its $149 one-way flights to Ireland ($300 round-trip). "We originally decided to fly Wow because it was a discount airline," Schamer said. They booked a Wow flight from Chicago to Dublin, Ireland. Extra fees, no perks But they soon learned their $300 round-trip flight was more like a $450  flight after baggage fees, even a fee for her carry-on. Then it got worse.
