The Icelandic low-cost airline Play is introducing a new stopover program. This is intended to enable travelers to spend a stopover in Iceland before their onward flight. It should also be possible for this to last several days. Play is a low-cost airline that, unlike competitors such as Ryanair and Easyjet, does not operate according to the point-to-point model, but rather according to the hub-and-spoke principle. The airline specializes in transporting passengers between the United States of America and Europe - with a change in Keflavik. The company now wants to enable passengers to delay changing planes in Iceland in order to be able to explore the island state. According to a statement from Play, stopovers of up to ten days should be possible. There should be no additional costs for this and the stopovers should be able to be booked independently via the low-cost airline's homepage and app. Important: Any overnight costs are not included and must be organized and paid for by the airline itself. "Play has taken advantage of its proximity to Europe to offer travelers convenient flights at affordable prices. The new stopover option now brings even more benefits to our guests," emphasizes Birgir Jonsson, CEO of Play Airlines. "Instead of just having a few hours' layover in Iceland, travelers can spend more time in this popular destination and experience everything our home country has to offer. These long stays are a win-win for both us and our passengers, as they enable the discovery tour at a comparatively low price." In June 2024, Play will celebrate its third "birthday". The carrier will then have been in the air for three years.
