As you’ll note, both segments were discounted, though the outgoing flight to Paris was significantly cheaper than the return to D.C.
Advertised ticket prices reflect Play’s basic fare, which only allows travelers one personal item that can fit underneath the seat in front of them. Personal items cannot exceed 17 inches by 18 inches by 10 inches or weigh over 22 pounds. Full-size carry-on bags start at $43, and checked bags start at $51 — there are additional fees for flight changes, cancellations and seat selection.
All Play Airlines flights from the U.S. route through Keflavik Airport.
Given that Play regularly runs deals, this airline is a great option to watch for future sales and discounted flights to Europe.
