  • Play is Iceland's newest low-cost airline attempting to capitalize on the small island country's geographoc location between North America and Europe. The airline was founded in 2019 and operates a small fleet of Airbus A320neo & A321neo aircraft.
    Iceland has a history of low-cost carrier's succeeding and failing, with its biggest success being the flag carrier Icelandair which operates hundreds of flights a week transiting millions of passengers a year between or to the island. Stopover packages are popular for travelers young and old on a budget to visit Reykjavik and its surrounding area for a couple of days before continuing on to their intended destination. WOW Air was an ultra-low-cost carrier that operated between 2012 and 2019 that had been successful and annually delivered over one fourth of all visitors to Iceland. The airline's demise was caused by poor decisions and an over-expansion, and much of WOW's executives are now working for Play.

    Flew this exact flight in October as part of a trip to Paris. $327 R/T. Could not believe it! Loved those seats though our return on last leg was an A320 with standard seat pitch. Pity. The legroom as ok on 320 but Awesome on the 321. All 4 flights we had a row to ourselves so that was a plus. Flights were on time, crews were ALL fantastic!! I am a huge fan even when they do reduce seat pitch throughout the fleet. Food was reasonable and high quality. Icelandic hospitality is something else. Very impressive and I hope they make it. Will definitely fly with them again.

      @@Tunechi65 no more uncomfortable than anyone else. Seats were pretty comfy and if you’re lucky enough to be on on of the a321s they “acquired”, you’ll have tons of leg room. Otherwise it’s pretty normal. Crews were spectacular. I would totally do it again. Hoping they add my city to one of the USA routes but their plan is to keep it smaller to not fall into the trap WOW fell into.
