If one of your 2025 resolutions is to see more of the world, one airline could help you make that happen for a lot less. The already affordable Icelandic airline Play is having a flash sale from Jan. 20 to Jan. 26, during which you can get $99 flights to Iceland and $129 flights to Copenhagen, Paris, London, Amsterdam, Berlin and Dublin from select airports in the United States. Just don't wait to book because the deal only lasts a few days and it's first come, first served. Read on to get all the details.

Play Airlines serves a limited number of airports in the US right now: namely Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) and New York Stewart International Airport (SWF). You can book flights from one of these three airports to Iceland (KEF), Copenhagen (CPH), Paris (CDG), London (STN), Amsterdam (AMS), Berlin (BER) or Dublin (DUB) at a deep discount.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

The flights are only for specific dates from each airport. Here's how it breaks down:

  • From Baltimore (BWI) to Iceland, Copenhagen, Paris, London and Amsterdam: Feb. 3–Apr. 15 and Apr. 29–May 26, 2025.
  • From Baltimore (BWI) to Iceland, Berlin and Dublin: Feb. 4–16, Mar. 3–16, Mar. 18–Apr. 13, Apr. 27–May 11 and May 13–26, 2025.
  • From Boston (BOS) to Iceland, Copenhagen, Paris, London, Amsterdam, Berlin and Dublin: Feb. 5–Mar. 26, Mar. 28–Apr. 9, Apr. 25–30, May 2–7 and May 9–28, 2025.
  • From New York (SWF) to Iceland, Copenhagen, Paris, London, Amsterdam, Berlin and Dublin: Feb. 1–6, Feb. 8–12, Feb. 15–20, Feb. 22–Apr. 9, Apr. 17–May 30, 2025.

There are a few caveats. These low prices are for the Play basic fare, which represents a one-way portion of a round-trip flight and includes just one personal item. You'll pay more for a carry-on, seat selection and other upgrades. You'll still find some record-low prices, so even with upgrades there are significant savings overall.

Why this deal matters

Flights to Europe can tip into the thousands, so taking advantage of a shoulder-season sale with rock-bottom prices -- as long as you have the flexibility in your schedule -- can save you heaps of money. The spring months bring hyacinth and tulip season in the Netherlands, cherry blossoms in Dublin and much more, all without the peak crowds and prices of summer. Even if you don't live near one of the specific airports, it's worth searching for a connecting flight for this price.
