Norwegian Air $100 Ireland flight announcement

Norwegian has announced that they plan to run a route between Boston and Cork, Ireland for under $100 one-way! No details of when it'll start,
as Norwegian is still wrestling with the US government to get permission for it. There has been a lot of pushback from the US airline industry, because Norwegian undercuts them and offers way lower prices; they claim that Norwegian does things that unions/workers don't like, like bringing in workers from poorer countries whom they can pay less, but Norwegian denies it, and has agreed to hire European and American staff and pay them normally. Some might say that it's just the gigantic airline monopoly in the US spreading rumors to maintain their control and prevent us from benefiting from the cheap flights that are ubiquitous in Europe.
