    We flew Play last month and it was great. Coming from NYC we took a car, but Megabus has a route to Stewart for $25. There were 5 of us. One of the group complained about the cost of parking for 7 days. So I reminded him that the parking cost about $100, but we cumulatively saved $2500 in airplane costs!

      Wow this is amazing thank you for the comment. The bus is great if you are solo but as a group you will save more driving and just parking. We opted to drive and park and this helped us save a lot as well

    Great review! I'm flying from Dublin to Toronto with Play in October, so I'm worried about not having TVs on such a long flight, but the prices are definitely worth it. And it's good to hear they left the airport on time.

      @@dinalarocca5974yes but I’d recommend Iceland air, play was very bare bones and not so clear on their website on stay dates in Iceland. I think I had to request days, it was a pain. Iceland airs website is way more clear on dates and a better overall experience. Also the Iceland air lounge in Keflavik is 10/10 👍

If I can save money there and back, I can probably handle even a flight update or two. Last I checked, it's like the difference between $880 on Play and like $1300 (or more) on Aer Lingus!

    I live in the Lehigh Valley in PA so SWF is about a 2 hour drive and no traffic. So I would definitely prefer to fly out of there than JFK. I'm used to low cost carriers, as I normally fly Allegiant when I go to Florida. So I pretty much know what to expect when flying Play. Hopefully I'll be able to fly Play to Iceland and Liverpool as both are on my bucket list.

    • @ChewsToExplore
      @ChewsToExplore  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Not impressed with their policy at all! I usually dont get the cancellation policy but life thaught me that for longer flights or more expensive trips it might be a good idea so imagine my dissapointement when it turns out it doesnt matter in the end as apparently earthquakes and an errupting volcano isnt a good enough reason to cancel my flights to Iceland. Only a doctor's note, covid or death is included in their policy. So now Im down over 300 euro plus extra money for a cancellation insurace that is genuinly useless!
    Dont do it guys, its worth paying more somewhere else they at least care about their passengers.

      I saw that when I was checking out. I figured my credit card has basically the same travel protection so there was absolutely no reason for me to buy it.
