United & Wow Air Rebooking
United is offering discounted tickets for people who were impacted by Wow Air's shutdown.
The prices are as follows:
K Fare: 50
L Fare: 100
T Fare: 225
S Fare: 275
Plus Tax.
Must call 1-800 to book as they'll need to verify (not sure how)

If UA's process is like Icelandair's, applicants for these fares will have to provide a WOW ticket number (which UA can presumably look up to verify) showing that they are displaced.

Its more than just UA
- United Airlines and its Star Alliance partners are offering discounted fares on a variety of routes for WOW passengers for tickets purchased through April 12. The tickets are valid for travel through April 30. Tickets can only be purchased through United's reservations center at 800-864-8331.Travelers must provide their WOW Air booking information including flight number.

WOW had a lease contract for sure. If WOW did not pay and the planes got re-possessed, that's fine. But pulling the planes in light of a MAX grounding? I would call, if this was true, that an act of bad faith.

WOW headed for bankruptcy [operations ceased 28 March 2019]
-- this has been long coming and long predicted. Discussions of the what and why of WOW are best done it the referenced thread.
This thread is for UA's response to the situation.
