Re: Low cost WOW Airlines plans to offer New Delhi - New York flights for $199 (Introductory Offer)

This article claims these fares are "here to stay"... though even if that is the case, you can assume that there will only be a very small number of seats being sold at these prices (for the marketing hook) - with the rest being sold at higher rates.

Yes, Wow has apparently gone bankrupt and suddenly stopped operations leaving travellers in the lurch. Interesting sidenote - apparently normal travel insurance does not cover for a airline going belly up.

Yes, I am not sure if that is some universla rule, but the same applies for Dutch travel insurance. The best position for getting your money back is if you paid by credit card. You paid to get a service delivered and that service, i.e. the flight has not happened.
