Travel documents
While global travel can be full of surprises and unknowns, your experience at the airport shouldn't be. Be a prepared and confident globetrotter and go over this checklist to ensure a comfortable journey through the world's airports and immigration checkpoints.
- Carry all necessary travel documents as required by the destination country with regard to your country of origin. Travel documents include visas, ESTAs, vaccination records, etc.
- Carry a passport valid for at least 90 days beyond your travel period.
- Many countries require proof of a return journey and a first destination address so be sure to carry this information with you.
It is the responsibility of the traveler to gather information about and obtain required travel documents, visas and travel authorizations (as applicable) needed for entry into the destination country.
Please be aware that if the traveler has a connecting flight with another airline, they need to ensure that all necessary travel documents are in order for their final destination with PLAY.
All passengers require a valid passport or travel document to check in for our flights. This includes adults, children, and infants.

Traveling through Keflavík Airport in Iceland
Iceland is part of the Schengen agreement. Passengers traveling to Iceland or through Keflavik Airport in Iceland that do not hold a passport from a Schengen Member State might need an airport transit visa or Schengen visa to enter Iceland. Keep in mind that if you're traveling onward with another airline you will have to pick up your baggage and check in again with the other airline. That means that you will have to leave the transit area.
