Sample routes

The following flights were priced as follows at the time of publication. We cannot guarantee they will be available when you book:
- New York Stewart International Airport (SWF) to Reykjavik's Keflavik Airport (KEF), from $116 one-way
- Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) and Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) to KEF, from $128 one-way
- Dulles International Airport (IAD) near Washington, D.C., to Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), from $148 one-way
- BOS to KEF, from $324 round-trip
- BOS to Dublin Airport (DUB), from $422 round-trip
For example, here's a round-trip flight between D.C. and Paris in early July for just under $600.

As you'll note, both segments were discounted, though the outgoing flight to Paris was significantly cheaper than the return to D.C.

Advertised ticket prices reflect Play's basic fare, which only allows travelers one personal item that can fit underneath the seat in front of them. Personal items cannot exceed 17 inches by 18 inches by 10 inches or weigh over 22 pounds. Full-size carry-on bags start at $43, and checked bags start at $51 — there are additional fees for flight changes, cancellations and seat selection.
All Play Airlines flights from the U.S. route through Keflavik Airport.
Given that Play regularly runs deals, this airline is a great option to watch for future sales and discounted flights to Europe.
