“European travel is hot this summer, and many prices have risen,” PLAY CEO Einar Örn Ólafsson told T+L. “PLAY always offers affordable fares, and this is our lowest deal yet to bring travel to Iceland and Europe within reach. These ‘cooled off’ prices will enable travelers to take advantage of shoulder season, with cooler temperatures and iconic destinations with fewer crowds.”

The sale is valid from Play’s gateway airports in the United States, including Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), New York Stewart International Airport (SWF), and Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD).

Play first started operating flights in Europe in 2021 before launching its first flight from the U.S. the next year. The airline operates a “hub-and-spoke model” in which all flights connect through Reykjavik before heading on to other destinations across Europe.
The airline flies to more than two dozen European cities.
