The cheapest way to hop across the Atlantic is almost always by flying PLAY.

The ultra-low-cost carrier is currently offering round-trip fares to Iceland and beyond from just $245.

Let’s take a look at the destinations and how to book these fantastic fares for yourself.

Europe Flight Deal — Details

PLAY Airlines operates a robust network between the U.S. and Europe via well-timed connections at its Reykjavik Airport (KEF) hub in Iceland.

It’s able to offer such low fares by flying to regional airports like Baltimore (BWI) and New York Stewart (SWF) — just 2 of the airports included in this deal — instead of larger airports with higher arrival fees and more competition.

The fares are available this spring until the end of May. After the busy summer travel season, fares under $370 return again from September through the start of December.

Class: Economy
Routes: Baltimore (BWI), Boston (BOS), New York-Stewart (SWF), and Washington D.C. (IAD) to Copenhagen (CPH), Dublin (DUB), Reykjavik (KEF), Paris (CDG), and more
Dates: April, May, September-December, 2025
Rates: From $241 round-trip

The lowest fare we found is Baltimore to Reykjavik at just $245:

Hot Tip:

Remember: Booking ultra-low fares with airlines like PLAY means you’ll have to pay extra for things like choosing a seat, in-flight food and drinks, and even taking hand luggage onboard. Here’s everything you need to know about flying PLAY.

Best Ways To Book

PLAY doesn’t have a frequent flyer program, and you can’t book PLAY’s flights by redeeming points.

As such, you’ll need to use cold, hard cash. For this, we recommend using a credit card that will reward you for spending on travel or booking directly with the airline.

A great option would be using The Platinum Card^® from American Express — a card that you’ll find in most of our wallets here at Upgraded Points.

Purchasing these excellent fares directly through PLAY’s website with this card (or through AmexTravel.com) would earn you 5x Membership Rewards points per $1 spent (limit of $500,000 per year of these purchases, then 1x).

Final Thoughts

It’s not too late to book a last-minute getaway this spring, thanks to PLAY’s ultra-low-fares to Europe. Alternatively, you could travel in September and have something to look forward to after we say goodbye to summer.

All that’s left to do now is decide where you want to go…
