Anyone travelling in Europe and wanting to get to the US on a budget might like to make note of Icelandic low-cost airline Play, which could be on the way to becoming a major player.
Play will launch flight between Glasgow and Keflavik in Iceland in May, adding to a fast-growing list of destinations.
The route between Glasgow International and Keflavik marks the airline’s first Scottish route and ticket sales are now open at www.flyplay.com.
Glasgow flights launch on May 26, 2023, and offer US connections.
Play will soon offer four US destinations: Newburgh in New York State, Boston, Baltimore/Washington and Washington Dulles. It will also fly to Hamilton, Canada, from June.
Flights between Glasgow and Keflavik start from £69 ($AU125) one-way, with US flights starting at £169.
Play will operate four flights per week over the northern summer months, Travel Mole reports.
CEO Birgir Jónsson said: “In January 2023, Brits made up the largest percentage of tourists to Iceland.”
Play's routes to and from Paris and London had an impressive load factor of over 90% in February.
The airline was founded in 2019 and has been flying for around 20 months. It serves several European destinations from Keflavik.
