PLAY, the low-cost Icelandic Airline, announced its expansion into Canada on Tuesday, offering five destinations in North America and a new way to get from Toronto to 15 different destinations in Europe, beginning June 22, 2023.

The expansion is one of the first announced for this year, expanding from 25 to nearly 40 destinations in Europe and North America.

“I have been eagerly anticipating the launch of ticket sales for flights to Canada, as it will be a major market for us at PLAY. Our services in North America have been met with great success, and I am excited to be able to offer more people the opportunity to travel between North America, Iceland and Europe at affordable prices,” said Birgir Jónsson, PLAY’s CEO, in a statement.

PLAY will offer flights from Toronto to a variety of desirable destinations in Europe, from Iceland to Spain and Greece to Denmark and the British Isles. The airline is offering reduced fares on flights starting at $169 from Toronto to Berlin, Brussels, Copenhagen, Dublin, Gothenburg, London, and Paris and $129 flights to Iceland when booked by the end of January.
