PLAY Airlines - A321neo - Economy Class - Boston (BOS) to Reykjavík (KEF) | TRIP REPORT
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 12. 2022
- Play is Iceland's newest low-cost airline attempting to capitalize on the small island country's geographoc location between North America and Europe. The airline was founded in 2019 and operates a small fleet of Airbus A320neo & A321neo aircraft.
Iceland has a history of low-cost carrier's succeeding and failing, with its biggest success being the flag carrier Icelandair which operates hundreds of flights a week transiting millions of passengers a year between or to the island. Stopover packages are popular for travelers young and old on a budget to visit Reykjavik and its surrounding area for a couple of days before continuing on to their intended destination. WOW Air was an ultra-low-cost carrier that operated between 2012 and 2019 that had been successful and annually delivered over one fourth of all visitors to Iceland. The airline's demise was caused by poor decisions and an over-expansion, and much of WOW's executives are now working for Play.

Gate agent and flight attendant both recognized you. Very gratifying, I imagine.
He was probably flagged by the PR/ Social Media team.
@@eds.4815 From what I remember they saw my post about it a few days before the flight and arranged for me to get onboard early to get shots of the cabin
It was really cool! Very gratifying
@@QFSAviation when you are at the point of being recognized on social media by the airline or it’s employees enough to get special access, you’ve done well
WOW! Selfie from a flight attendant?? you're a STAR! What a great experience to be on the inaugural flight for PLAY, AND you got a whole row to yourself..... very nice! Thanks for always being so nice to airport/inflight staff.....we appreciate it!!
WOW…
such avgeek nostalgia
Wow (or should I say Play) what a spectacular trip report!! And how cool is it the FA recognized you and even wanted a selfie That's so cool!! Thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end, and will be watching it again very soon. Well done Quebec Foxtrot Sierra and thanks for sharing!!
I always enjoy these videos, thanks for sharing all your travels
Great video as usual! So glad new airlines are popping up again!
Excellent job, Q.! You're a rock star! Selffie with the FA! As usual, great content at the end!
What a beautiful of Iceland 👍👍
Happy to see more QFS videos recently.
Great informative flight review. Thank You!
As a icelandic I'm very happy that you came to Iceland 🇮🇸 👍
Another great flight report. Thanks for sharing. I am gonna travel with Play soon to NYC Stewart 👌
Hi!! Very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!
great video, thank you very much ! 🙂
Great review. I always love your videos. Somehow I lost track of you for the last few months even though I'm subscribed and supposedly alerted to new vids. Greetings from the Boston area.
Great video! I plan to fly this route someday!
Guardando il video, condivido il giudizio espresso sul personale di volo della Play airlane : veramente cordiali e simpatiche !
Sono d'accordo che sono stati molto rispettosi. Grazie!
nice, a play tripreport!
The spiritual successor of Wow Air
Anybody noticed the beautiful location of Boston's Logan airport ?
Wow.
Yes, it is unique.
Similar to jfk not tht unique
Other than the location, that airport sucks
@@kingpinsmith22 agreed
@@jeadie2273 yup they essentially man made built an island for it
Thanks QFS !
The A321neo is awesome! I'm currently not planning on visiting Iceland, but when I do I'll consider PLAY.

Looking to fly from Boston to Paris soon and play looks to be the cheapest route... Doing some research as I feel like since it's cheap it's gonna be some uncomfortable seats and bare minimum...
@@Tunechi65 Wel....think of it as 2 short flights
Flew this exact flight in October as part of a trip to Paris. $327 R/T. Could not believe it! Loved those seats though our return on last leg was an A320 with standard seat pitch. Pity. The legroom as ok on 320 but Awesome on the 321. All 4 flights we had a row to ourselves so that was a plus. Flights were on time, crews were ALL fantastic!! I am a huge fan even when they do reduce seat pitch throughout the fleet. Food was reasonable and high quality. Icelandic hospitality is something else. Very impressive and I hope they make it. Will definitely fly with them again.

@@Tunechi65 no more uncomfortable than anyone else. Seats were pretty comfy and if you’re lucky enough to be on on of the a321s they “acquired”, you’ll have tons of leg room. Otherwise it’s pretty normal. Crews were spectacular. I would totally do it again. Hoping they add my city to one of the USA routes but their plan is to keep it smaller to not fall into the trap WOW fell into.
Loved those sunset shots, and Play looked fine for the price, including catering. But at the future 30" pitch, with no IFE or power, I'm not so sure. I loved all the sunset shots and being back in BOS - hopefully Christmas 23 in my occasional US base.

Nice video! Never got to fly with WOW Air, but I would like to hopefully add PLAY at some point!
Got to go to Iceland
It is remarkable that your ticket price was only 271! Maybe I will consider flying Play sometime soon. Great trip report too!
I found roundtrip from Boston to Copenhagen for about 550. Can’t beat that
I hoped too Visit Boston and Iceland in the upcoming years from My Home Country Barbados God's Willing I hope that Play Airlines will take Interests in the New Airbus A321XLR's coming up in 2024 but we'll wait to see what happens next Awesome Video Man 100%
less go, keep on posting more
I'm trying for at least once a week!
Nice 👍🏻✈️
Omg omg i wanna take this flight so badlyyyy
Great video...thanks! I still find it strange to have to buy food on an international flight!
You and me both! Thanks a lot!
I was in BOS in May, Q!
Thank you for flying with play Airline what is the song name
You should fly AeroMexico!
idk if is me i think the flight attendant liked that guy lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 5:16

This upcoming Friday, I’m going to have a meeting with Matt Hatfield who is in this video.
Awesome report man dude have u been in SJU Puerto Rico????
I am flying to Tampa from Omaha on Saturday on Southwest Airlines and returning on Tuesday via Atlanta
Cool how this was an inaugural flight
Have they since downgraded the seats? I saw a recent video flight review from Stewart to KEF and the guy had zero leg room.

Could you reserve a seat for free during check in?
" СЮДА !..."
im going to London this holiday
You should fly sun country airlines out of boston
Открытие первого рейса? Авиакомпания хорошо презентовала открытие. ✈️
Старшая бортпроводница вас узнала, оказалась вашей фанаткой?)
1st one here 😁
Good for you my good fellow
$10 for a beer. 😄
Ever heard of Atlantic Aviation or Signature Flight Support before?
Interesting boarding pass issues when scanning
Being the prices are in Icelandic denomination how do know if your not being over charged for the items you bought?
The prices are listed in Euros (€). Exchange rates are available from Google and nearly every news and financial website. Knowing the value of the Euro helps you judge the prices.
Interesting how you changed your review platform making it out of 5 instead of 10
5 makes more sense to me because it simplifies the ratings and makes it more easily comparable to any videos in the future.
megutaria si ponen una ruta a RD santoga el cibao BOSTON
These summer transatlantic flights daylight the entire flight
I don t understand. There is always sun. It was in summer? Midnight sun?
Yeah Because of the Latitude being so far North it's usually always Daylight. Just like in Winter it's the Arctic 🥶 night 🌃🌉!
30' is terrible.
At least this flight was shorter than some transcontinental routes
no outlets?! lots of battery banks needed lolol
I go to Havana Cuba with Southwest Airlines in July 2023
Aww no non-food inaugural goodies?
Hi quintin
Boston is a confusing airport
Great Crew Members, Horrriiiiible folks at the check-in area, would not use this airline just because of those rude agents.
Louis C.K circa around 2017-2018 - good choice.
No IFE big red flag
They should really offer charging points and ife screens man. That's just basic stuff
They use the excuse of being low cost 🤣
@@andersonrodriguez8258 ridiculous right!
I agree. If you do the math, the extra cost of luggage and food makes up for the fare price with Icelandair. And now they’re reducing the legroom too? Screw that.
@@ittybittyattic Looking to fly from Boston to Paris soon and play looks to be the cheapest route... Doing some research as I feel like since it's cheap it's gonna be some uncomfortable seats and bare minimum...
@@Tunechi65 The seats are actually comfortable enough for economy and not different than any other major airline. Play’s legroom is the best we have ever had in all our traveling years.
eeech. No thanks.
Play airlines has the best ham n cheese sandwich of all time.
