Leap Day Deal for Travelers Headed to Europe, Iceland

An airline that flies out of Dulles and BWI is offering cheap flights to six European cities and Iceland.

The airline PLAY hopes travelers leap onto what it’s billed as a leap year flight deal — $129 to six European cities or $99 to Iceland.

The European destinations are Paris, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, London, Berlin, and Dublin.

The flash deal flights would be out of Dulles International or Baltimore-Washington International airports, or Boston or New York. PLAY started flying out of Dulles in April 2023.

“An extra day is another thing that is making 2024 a top year for tourists to travel this year,” said PLAY CEO Birgir Jónsson. “Leap Day only comes once every four years — and we invite travelers to seize the opportunity to plan a Leap getaway later this year.”

You have through 11:59 p.m. on March 1 to book one-way flights in April and May or from September through December of this year, the low-cost Icelandic airline said.

PLAY also said you can visit two destinations for a low flight fare with its stayover option. It said that travelers with flights connecting through Iceland can opt to spend up to 10 days in Iceland, rather than do a traditional layover.

“With this deal and a long stayover option in Iceland, our passengers are getting the most out of their travel experience, whether a short hop over the pond or a longer getaway in Iceland or Europe,” Jónsson said.

Of course, like most flights, there are some restrictions. It’s first-come, first-served option. You have to pay baggage fees, and there are dates you cannot fly.
