Any experience with fly play?

[Anonymous]

I am considering to buy tickets to Iceland with fly play. Any experience you can share?

[Anonymous]

Bumping this. Anyone?

My ex-husband (we’re friendly) likes it. There’s no food or TV but he said it’s comfortable.

Sorry, no experience yet, but I’m seriously considering it for our Iceland trip next summer. It’s a short enough flight that we won’t get much sleep, and we’re not in the 1st class, lay-flat tax bracket anyway. So the price difference between them and IcelandAir is pretty compelling.

I think it might come down to bag fees for us. So when I’m ready to buy, I’ll probably go through the whole booking process for both airlines and see what the total is before deciding.

I've flown several times and have 2 more trips coming up. It was totally fine. One flight this summer was delayed by an hour or two, but they held the flights in Iceland to Europe and it worked great. Sometimes there are chargers on the flight and sometimes there are not. I usually bring my own food and get a drink (at least for the longer flight). I flew with my kids and it was totally fine. We just brought their tablets, back-up battery packs, had them loaded up with lots of games/movies, and they were golden. I've done the same for myself too when flying solo. I felt like they weren't too picky with luggage either....I wouldn't risk having something way over the limit, but I didn't have any issues.

I felt like the staff were pleasant, helpful, and the plane was pretty clean....no issues.

oh and they seat at least children with adults....i was solo with my 2 kids and we sat in a row of 3. They may not put the 2nd adult together with you, but yeah, no charge so unless you want specific seats, no need to reserve seats.

Will they provide a cup of water for free, or is it absolutely nothing? Thanks.

We went to Iceland last year, by the time we added the bag fee (for a carry-on, not a checked bag), it was the same as flying Iceland Air, so we just went with that

I agree you need to very carefully check all of their add on fees. We bought the middle fare which bundles a few fees together and at that point it wasn't really a deal but still a little cheaper than Icelandair (also check both BWI and Dulles because it seems like the fares vary a little between them depending on demand).

We flew this past summer and thought it was fine-- seats weren't super comfortable but ok. We did not get even a glass of water for free and we didn't have outlets but we expected that so it wasn't a problem. They did make a number of people use the sizer for their luggage at checkin (and having to check luggage unexpectedly is more expensive than just paying to check in advance).

Just flew with them in August. No they don’t. No water. And also very strict with baggage

I second that they don't provide any water. I did have a child who threw up and they brought up a bottle of water, but normally...no. I fill my water bottle up before I leave and then I'll get an alcoholic drink and/or a coffee (I know...airplane coffee isn't great but I sometimes just NEED a cup of coffee, even bad coffee).

OP. Thanks for responses. Any safety concerns?

I've looked at Play a bunch of times for Europe, and every time, with the fees, it ended up more expensive than just buying on SAS, IcelandAir, or Aer Lingus. Add in no entertainment or food, and no thank you.
