PLAY airlines has announced the launch of ticket sales for its new direct flights from Faro, Portugal. The inaugural flight is scheduled on April 12, with two weekly flights operating on Saturdays and Wednesdays through October 29.

PLAY is a low-cost carrier that connects North America and Europe, with Iceland as its central hub. Passengers can take advantage of PLAY’s unique stopover option, allowing them to explore Iceland for up to 10 days at no additional cost before continuing their transatlantic journey.

In North America, PLAY operates flights from Baltimore, Boston, New York, Washington D.C., and Toronto. Iceland offers visitors breathtaking natural wonders, including waterfalls, glaciers, geysers, and unique wildlife—all just a few hours from Reykjavik, the vibrant capital renowned for its rich culture, diverse dining, and lively nightlife.

Since launching its first flight in June 2021, PLAY has grown rapidly, now operating a fleet of 10 Airbus A320/321neo aircraft with an average age of just over two years. This modern fleet ensures a comfortable, safe, and reliable travel experience. In 2023, PLAY achieved an impressive 83% on-time performance.

PLAY’s cabin crew was voted the best by USA Today readers last year, and the airline was named the best low-cost carrier in Northern Europe.
