Flying to Europe just got cheaper thanks to a new flash sale by low-cost Play Airlines, with 25 percent off routes to Dublin, Paris, and beyond.
The airline’s Pride Month sale must be booked by Sunday, June 23, at 11:59 p.m. ET, Play shared with Travel + Leisure. These one-way fares are available for wide-open travel dates between August and December, as well as January and March of next year.
As part of the Pride Month celebrations, travelers can also enter to win free flights to Iceland to attend Reykjavík Pride in August, with the giveaway ending on Sunday, June 23.
“Travelers flock to Reykjavik’s Rainbow Street year-round, but we wanted to celebrate Pride Month in the U.S. by giving one traveler free flights to come celebrate Reykjavik Pride Festival in Iceland with us this August,” Einar Örn Ólafsson, Play’s CEO, told T+L. “Plus, with 25% off our already affordable fares, all other travelers and the LGBTQ+ community can continue the Pride celebration by booking a bucket list fall or summer getaway.”
There’s no promo code required to activate the sale, as the 25 percent discount has been applied to qualifying flights during these travel periods. Travel + Leisure scanned the list of discounted flights and found the following European destinations eligible for this sale:
- Reykjavík
- Amsterdam
- Berlin
- Copenhagen
- Dusseldorf
- Hamburg
- London-Stansted
- Paris
The Icelandic carrier launched in 2021 and operates nonstop service to its Reykjavik hub from a handful of East Coast cities, including Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), New York Stewart International Airport (SWF), or Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD). From Reykjavik, travelers can easily connect to another European city on Play’s network.
What’s unique about Play Airlines is that passengers can book a stopover in Iceland for up to 10 days, which the airline dubs a “stayover,” at no extra cost. This allows travelers to visit two cities for the price of one, and with Play’s discounted fares, this is easily one of the best flight deals to explore Europe.
