A round-trip flight from New York to Paris from Dec. 1 to Dec. 5 costs around $290. However, Play tacks on additional fees for carry-ons and checked-in luggage.
FLYPLAY.COM
The cost to bring one carry-on is $57. The fee for a checked bag is $86. Play charges these fees for trips between New York and Paris.
So, if you were to check a bag and bring a carry-on for a round-trip, it would add an extra $286 to your fare, increasing the total price to around $577.
Seat selection is also not included in the discounted fare. Prices for seats can range from $5.16 for seats at the back of the plane to $41.28 for seats toward the front.

Bottom line
You can find fares as low as $99 with this deal. However, keep in mind that there are extra charges for carry-ons, luggage and seats, all of which can significantly increase the price.
Despite the additional fees, the deal still offers relatively low fares to many popular tourist spots in Europe. You could still end up spending less on a trip to Europe with this Play deal compared to other airlines.
