A low-cost airline is set to add Hamilton to its list of destinations in 2023, adding another option for travellers looking to fly from Ontario to Europe.

Icelandic-based Play will introduce service between Hamilton International and the airline’s hub airport in Keflavik (KEF), a launching point for 26 other European destinations including London, Paris and Berlin.

Starting Tuesday, travellers can take advantage of a special offer on flights leaving John C. Munro to European destinations for between $129 and $169 via a fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft.

This deal is valid for round-trip bookings through Jan. 31 with a departing flight from Canada between August and October 2023.
