Hey there, adventure-seekers! If you’ve been daydreaming about a European escapade, Icelandic airline Play has got just the treat for you. This Memorial Day, Play is dropping jaws and ticket prices with a flash sale that offers one-way flights to Europe starting at an unbeatable $99. That’s right, $99!
But don’t hit snooze on this deal—it’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it opportunity. You need to book by midnight ET on May 27 to snag these fares, which are perfect for travel between August and December. Think of it as a nudge from the universe to start planning your fall or winter getaway.
Einar Örn Ólafsson, Play’s CEO, puts it best: “Summer is finally here and Play challenges travelers to get ahead on their shoulder season trips to take advantage of low prices and a calmer time of the year to visit top tourist destinations. Getaways during the fall and winter are a perfect time to unwind after a hectic summer, and Play wants to make these trips more affordable with this Memorial Day Discount to kick off summer and travel planning.”
Here’s the scoop: $99 can get you to Iceland, and if you’re dreaming of Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, Dublin, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, London, or Paris, it’s just $129 one-way. That’s almost as cheap as a nice dinner out, but instead, you get to explore Europe.
These dreamy deals are available from all of Play’s U.S. gateways: Baltimore/Washington International (BWI), Boston Logan International (BOS), New York Stewart International (SWF), and Washington Dulles International (IAD). Mark your calendars and set your alarms—travel dates and blackout periods vary, so check the details. For instance, flights to hot spots like Iceland, Amsterdam, and London are valid on Mondays from Aug. 19 to Nov. 25 and from Dec. 2 to Dec. 16.
Here’s the fine print: you’ll need to book a roundtrip to cash in on these prices, and remember, Play operates on a “hub-and-spoke model,” meaning you’ll connect through Reykjavik before jetting off to your European destination. They’ve been flying folks across Europe since 2021, and they’re adding more cities to their map all the time.
A quick heads up—Play is a low-cost carrier, so expect to pay extra for checked bags, food, and drinks. But at these prices, who’s complaining? Pack light, grab some snacks, and get ready for your next great adventure.
So, what are you waiting for? This Memorial Day, let your travel fantasies take flight with Play. Bon voyage!
