I saw the bright purple livery and went "Wow", hehe :)
I take it they mean nonstop. In airline-speak "direct" means the same aircraft with one or more stops. Only "nonstop" is without an enroute stop or landing.
I love the quote: "WOW planes will be equipped with 340 seats, for added legroom and comfort, according to the airline’s founder and CEO, Skúli Mogensen." Mergatroid!!!
I just checked, Airbus can cram up to 440 seats into those things in an all-economy layout. So it isn't as dense as it could be, but I doubt it is spacious if you're not in the front of the plane.
This almost covers the entire US west coast now, with Icelandair having nonstop service from Portland (KPDX) to Reykjavik (BIRK) in a B752. Wonder if they'll start a Las Vegas run anytime soon...
I think you mean Seattle
Nope.. mean Portland.

The Portland service is seasonal, Seattle is served year-round.
Well - - why not Las Vegas?
