Ultra-low-cost PLAY airlines is back with some phenomenally low fares to Europe.

You can snag a bargain from Baltimore (BWI), Boston (BOS), and New York’s Stewart Airport (SWF) to Iceland and beyond from just $232 round-trip.

We’ve pulled together some of the best fares we could find.

Fare Deal — Details

PLAY Airlines is about to complete its third year of flying travelers across the Atlantic — via a layover at its hub at Keflavik (KEF) — for about as cheap as it gets.

As such, you won’t be surprised to hear that its lowest fares don’t include checked bags and inflight meals.

Here are some of the best fares we found.

Class: Economy
Routes: Baltimore (BWI), Boston (BOS), New York Stewart (SWF) to Reykjavik (KWF), Paris (CDG), and more
Dates: April to May 2024
Rates: From $232 round-trip

The cheapest round-trip fare we found was from Boston to Reykjavik at just $232:

Best Ways To Book

PLAY’s classic low-cost airline business model means it doesn’t offer passengers a frequent flyer program or the ability to earn and spend miles. As such, paying cash is your only option when booking tickets.

Thanks to credit cards such as The Platinum Card^® from American Express, you can still earn points when booking flights with PLAY. Using this card would earn you 5x Membership Rewards points per $1 spent on flights when booked directly with the airline or through AmexTravel.com (limit of $500,000 per year, then 1x). Membership Rewards points can then be transferred to a multitude of different airline mileage programs which you’ll then be able to redeem on flights.

Hot Tip:

One of the other excellent perks the Amex Platinum card comes with is a Priority Pass membership (enrollment required), which means even when flying a low-cost airline like PLAY, you’ll be able to start your journey from both ends with a visit to a lounge (where available)!

Final Thoughts

A last-minute trip to Europe has never been more tempting.

Thanks to PLAY, yet again, it’s possible to fly round-trip from the U.S. to Europe for less than $300!
