Pack your bags! If you want to explore Europe this summer, you can book cheap flights from Toronto to several European cities right now with this low-cost airline.

Play Airlines is having a sale on airfare to Europe, with discounts on their already cheap tickets that could put your dream vacation within reach.

The airline is having a flash sale on flights from Toronto to several cities in Europe, including Iceland, Copenhagen, Berlin, Dublin, Amsterdam, London, Paris, Dusseldorf and Hamburg.

So if you've ever dreamed of seeing the Eiffel Tower in Paris, visiting Buckingham Palace in London or seeing the northern lights in Iceland, you may be able to cross something off your bucket list this year.

The deal applies to the Play's Basic Bundle fare, which includes one small personal item as well as all mandatory taxes, fees, and carrier charges. Do note, however, that additional baggage and other flight perks will cost extra.

With the sale, you can get 25% off flights with Play from Toronto. According to Play, with the discount, you can find flights to Iceland for as low as $220, flights to London for as low as $180, and flights to Paris for as low as $230.

The sale is applicable for travel from June to December 2024, meaning you can enjoy a European summer or travel later in the year.

Play, an Icelandic carrier that arrived on the scene in Canada in 2023, operates out of the John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport in Hamilton, flying to more than 30 European cities.

Play offers a streamlined, no-frills service without extras like Wi-Fi, entertainment or free meals, which it says allows travellers to pay less and "play more."

The airline connects Canada with 22 European countries, with flights transiting through the airline's base in Iceland before continuing to the rest of Europe. Because of this, travellers also have the option of adding a free stopover in Iceland to their trip.

A stopover is available on all trips to Europe from Toronto, and allows you to stay in Iceland for up to 10 days on each leg of your journey.

Play's flash sale expires at midnight on May 26, 2024, and is first come, first served, so don't wait to book!

Bon voyage!
