WOW Air has announced new Irish routes to San Francisco and Los Angeles, starting next summer.
The low-cost airline will fly to LA four times per week and San Francisco five times a week.
California is set to be more accessible than ever for Irish travellers - Aer Lingus also announced new flights to LA earlier in this year.
The WOW Air flights will be serviced by three new Airbus A330-300 aircrafts, these carry 340 passengers and are the first wide-body planes in the airline's fleet.
Speaking to a specialist aviation website - CEO, Skúli Mogensen commented on the company's decision to focus on trans-Atlantic business:
"The decision by WOW air to make this move strategically is because now is the right time to do so. Iceland is perfectly located to act as a transatlantic hub between Europe and the US which is evident due to our current services to Boston, Baltimore and Washington performing so well."
