PLAY Airlines is launching a fun-sized fare for the kiddos, with flights from New York (SWF) to European cities like London, Paris and more for as low as $2! So if you’re looking for things to do with kids that’ll be even cheaper than museum admission, why not travel across the pond?

Parents are able to score this incredible deal on family vacation by booking now through September 17, 2024 for travel between September and December.

PLAY Airlines hopes this limited-time deal encourages families to explore new destinations, get the kids traveling at a young age, and leave a little extra money in the family budget for exciting excursions, delicious meals and more memories to be cherished.

Participating city destinations include Iceland, Copenhagen, Paris, London, Amsterdam, Dublin, Berlin, and Liverpool.

Plus, families looking to extend their European vacation can take advantage of PLAY’s free stayovers, which include a visit to Iceland for 10 days or less, at no additional cost, before or after another destination.

“International travel is a way to both bring families together and expose children to new cultures, foods, and experiences. Families with young children can’t always make it across the Atlantic with high travel costs, and PLAY designed this deal to welcome families to our flights to travel together and make memories in Iceland and other amazing destinations,” said PLAY CEO Einar Örn Ólafsson. “These $2 fares for kids are our lowest yet, and we hope that families take this opportunity to cultures, cuisine, and educational visits together.”

These $2 fares are eligible for children under the age of 11 years old and subject to availability. Taxes, carrier charges and fees will come at an additional cost. Tickets must be purchased with a companion traveling to a same participating city destination, as stated with the Terms & Conditions.

This incredible deal comes at a time when airlines are facing a potential new mandate to seat kids with adults at no extra cost.

John Mulaney will return to Broadway for the first five weeks of All In: Comedy About Love, the production announced today. The strictly limited 10-week run is set to begin at the Hudson Theatre on December 11.

One of the country’s foremost comedians, Mulaney made his Great White White debut in 2016’s Oh, Hello on Broadway, an expansion of sketch characters he had created with Nick Kroll. This time, he will lead a rotating cast of stars in a collection of stories by his fellow Saturday Night Live writing alumnus Simon Rich, based on material that Rich created for The New Yorker. The show will be directed by Mulaney’s longtime collaborator Alex Timbers (Moulin Rouge!), who also oversaw Oh, Hello.

Mulaney will appear in All In for the first five weeks of the run only, joined by Fred Armisen, Richard Kind, Renée Elise Goldsberry (through December 30) and Chloe Fineman (January 2–12). Casting for the second half of the run has not yet been announced. This will be Rich’s first show on Broadway, but he is no stranger to the Street; his father is Frank Rich, the New York Times‘s much-respected and much-feared chief theater critic in the 1980s. 

“All In: Comedy About Love by Simon Rich is a series of hilarious stories about dating, heartbreak, marriage and that sort of thing, adapted from the short stories of Simon Rich, and performed by a rotating cast of some of the funniest people on the planet,” says the production’s cheeky press release. “Sometimes they will play pirates, sometimes they will play dogs, and there’s one where we make them talk in British accents. But even though the show’s kind of all over the place, it’s meant to tell one simple story: that the most important part of life is who we share it with. We hope everybody will relate to it, even if it was their date’s idea to come and they are starting out from a place of quiet resentment.”

All In is being produced on Broadway by Saturday Night Live demiurge Lorne Michaels and his company Broadway Video, in conjunction with New York Studios and the artist-driven production outfit Seaview. The show will sneak into the busy Hudson Theatre in between the current run of Once Upon a Mattress and the spring revival of The Last Five Years, which begins previews in March.

Tickets go on sale at 10am ET on September 26, but a special presale for fans begins one day earlier; to participate in the latter, sign up at the All In website.

A couple of weeks, the famous Cyclone rollercoaster in Coney Island closed indefinitely due to some well-founded safety concerns involving a damaged chain in the motor room. 

We’re happy to report that the 97-year-old ride officially reopened this weekend, following an investigation by inspectors that confirmed the necessary repairs were conducted successfully. 

“This American icon has captivated guests for nearly a century, and our dedicated team and attraction engineers continue to ensure that this legendary 97-year-old landmark continues to operate safely and smoothly,” said Alessandro Zamperla, President and CEO of Central Amusement International, Inc., in an official statement. “We are always thrilled to welcome riders to experience the Cyclone every season.”

As reported by the New York Times, this wasn’t the first time that the Cyclone was in need of maintenance work. As a matter of fact, the city was looking to demolish the ride in the 1970s, until an infusion of millions of dollars allowed the owners to restore and reopen the attraction.

Then, about a decade ago, in 2015, the Cyclone abruptly stopped working mid-ride, while guests were near its peak: the transmission belt slipped off the drum. Although no one was injured, locals have been pretty worried about the safety statues of the rollercoaster for years now.

As they say, “all is well that ends well.” Keep in mind that the Luna Park will basically stay open through the end of October only, so try to visit ASAP.
