Heading to Europe with the family has never been cheaper thanks to this wacky deal with PLAY.

The Icelandic low-cost carrier has just launched a limited-time offer with fares for kids on select routes from the U.S. to Europe for just $2 one-way plus taxes.

Let’s take a look at the specifics of this deal and how to book before it ends on September 17, 2024.

$2 Kid Fares to Europe

The ridiculously low $2 fares for kids up to the age of 11 are available departing from just 4 airports on the East Coast: Baltimore (BWI), Boston (BOS), New York-Stewart (SWF), and Washington, D.C. (IAD).

PLAY is limiting the offer to a selected 8 airports across Europe.

In addition to the airline’s base in Reykjavik (KEF) where all mainland Europe-bound passengers will layover, the $2 kid fares are also available to the following 7 airports:

  • Amsterdam (AMS)
  • Berlin (BER)
  • Copenhagen (CPH)
  • Dublin (DUB)
  • Liverpool (LPL)
  • London (STN)
  • Paris (CDG)

If you want to make the most of this offer, you’ll need to be free to travel during specific timeframes before the end of 2024:

  • September 29 until October 6
  • October 8 to 20
  • October 22 to November 3
  • November 5 to December 15

Discounts apply to round-trip bookings only. You can book at flyplay.com.

Remember: flying ultra-low-cost airlines like PLAY means you’ll have to pay extra for things like seat selection, checked bags, and inflight food and beverages, so make sure to factor that into your plans when budgeting for the trip.

Best Ways To Book PLAY’s $2 Kid Fares

These $2 kid fares are only available when booking directly with PLAY.

That means you’ll have to pay online using a credit card. In such cases, we recommend using a travel rewards credit card such as the Chase Sapphire Reserve®. The card earns 3x points on travel and up to 10x points when booking trips through the Chase Travel portal.

Hot Tip:

If relaxing in a lounge before a flight is your thing, then you might consider The Platinum Card® by American Express. As well as all the all-important perk of earning points, this card comes with an unlimited Priority Pass membership (upon enrollment) giving you complimentary access to over 1,500 lounges around the world — even when you’re flying low-cost airlines like PLAY!

Final Thoughts

PLAY’s $2 kid fares to Europe are certainly worth considering if you’ve been considering a last-minute trip before the year’s out.

But what will tempt you most: stroopwafels in Amsterdam, sausages in Berlin, or cheeky pints of Guinness in Dublin?
