New York can come out to PLAY

It’s shaping up to be a very exciting 2022 for Icelandic startup PLAY. The airline is laying the ground to double its fleet size – having finished 2021 with three A321neos in its fleet, in not too long it will have a family of six. Not only that, but the airline is planning its first flights west of Iceland, touching down in Baltimore in April and Boston in May.

The airline has today announced its third US destination – New York. But it’s not going to be JFK or Newark that sees the red planes, but Orange County’s Stewart International (SWF). With its arrival, PLAY will become the first new international airline at Stewart since 2019.

Tickets are on sale today, and as usual, PLAY has some incredible offers to entice those early bookings. Until February 7th, bookings made for travel later in the year can be found for as little as $109. That’s from SWF right through to 11 European destinations, including London, Dublin, Paris, Berlin, Copenhagen, Brussels, Stuttgart, Trondheim, and Gothenburg. And, of course, Keflavik, Iceland.
