PLAY airlines: Free stopovers in Iceland for dual-country adventures

Thursday, February 1, 2024

PLAY, an economical Icelandic airline that operates flights connecting North America and Europe, now provides a complimentary stopover in Iceland, allowing travelers to explore two countries within a single trip.

This stopover feature leverages PLAY’s hub-and-spoke model, where all flights connect through Iceland. Passengers can enjoy up to a 10-day stay in Iceland, immersing themselves in the island’s breathtaking natural attractions such as waterfalls, geysers, hot springs, glaciers, and the Northern Lights.

Birgir Jónsson, CEO of PLAY, expressed, “PLAY has harnessed Iceland’s strategic location near Europe to provide travelers with convenient flights and affordable fares. The addition of the stopover feature enhances the benefits for our passengers. Instead of a brief layover, travelers can now extend their visit to this bucket-list destination for an extra day or week, enjoying all that our home country has to offer. Extended stopovers are a mutually advantageous way for both us and our passengers to facilitate exploration at a budget-friendly cost.”

Having inaugurated its first flight in June 2021, PLAY operates a modern fleet comprising 10 Airbus A320/321neo aircraft with an average age just over two years. In North America, PLAY serves destinations like Baltimore, Boston, New York, and Washington DC in the United States, as well as Toronto in Canada. The airline also covers over 30 European destinations, including Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Copenhagen, Barcelona, and Athens.

In the previous year, PLAY’s crew secured the top spot in the USA Today 10Best reader poll and was recognized as the premier low-cost airline in Northern Europe by the prestigious World Airline Awards, based on customer satisfaction.

With a commitment to affordability, PLAY offers competitive prices across all its markets and prioritizes operational excellence, achieving an impressive 83% on-time performance in 2023. Opting for PLAY ensures passengers a safe and reliable journey, allowing them to allocate more of their budget to the destination itself. In short: Pay less, PLAY more!
