Avoid Play Airlines - a nightmare experience
I recently flew with Play Airlines, and I can confidently say it was the worst low-budget airline experience I’ve ever had. I increased my rating from one star to two stars because the staff was friendly, the layover is relatively short and their mobile application is easy to use. Nonetheless I booked my reservation two months in advance, lured in by an initial low fare of $235 for a flight from Washington DC to Paris, France. However, that was just the beginning of the nightmare. First, they charge an outrageous $135 for a carry-on bag – something that should be included. Then, the seats are so cramped that I had no choice but to upgrade for some basic comfort. And let’s not forget, nothing is free on that plane – they even charge for water! By the time I was done with all the hidden fees, my final price ended up being $525, and that includes a layover at the Reykjavik (REK) airport. All in all, this was not the cheap deal it seemed at first. The experience was frustrating and uncomfortable, with every little thing adding to the cost. I strongly recommend avoiding Play Airlines if you value your time, comfort, and budget. Save yourself the hassle and go with a more reliable airline with larger aircrafts and comparable direct flight prices.
