Off to the States on the cheap: Low-cost carriers set to spark era of affordable air fares to the US




norwegian

The era of prohibitive air fares to the US may be coming to an end, as the arrival of low-cost carriers like Norwegian Air International and WOW into the market is likely to start a price war among more established airlines.

Return fares to some US cities may fall to below €300 for the first time.

Right now, Aer Lingus and United Airlines offer return fares to the States for about 500, but the fare structure for low-cost carriers is yet to be finalized.

So if you always fancied travelling to the States on the -relatively- cheap, this year may be your chance.
