Check out this deal from the new low-cost airline Play in honor of Husband’s Day, which yes, is apparently a real thing in Iceland. It marks the start of the old Viking month Þorri.

Between Jan. 19 — Jan. 25, Play says "partners will usually gift their male spouses something very masculine on this day, like a pretty bouquet of flowers, a spa day, craft beer and high-end beard oil."

FWIW, spa days do not discriminate against gender, but I digress.

"Travelers looking to spoil their significant other this year" can book round-trip flights to Europe, including to Iceland, Berlin, Brussels, Copenhagen, Dublin, London and Paris, starting at just $130 each way.

I did a lot of searching to find the cheapest deals possible, and I had trouble finding many flights as low as $130 each way. Still, there are some deals. Like discounted flights to Dublin (via Reykjavik).

ᐧOr some decent deals to Barcelona (also via Reykjavik) for $349.40. You'll need to hunt around.

Keep in mind, you'll also need to pay extra for baggage, and it doesn't come cheap. It's $46 for a carry-on and $72 for a checked bag.

Seat selection will also cost you anywhere from $5.16 to $36.98 for the flights we searched.
