Direct Flights to Berlin

Gojuryuben · 26-01-2012, 14:08

HI,

Wanting to go to Berlin on the 1st June. Ive been looking at the flights but cannot find any that are direct, they all have at least one stop and take around 5 hours.
Does anyone know why this is or can tell me where I can get a direct flight from.

Cheers

Try German Wings. I think EasyJet are direct too. www.skyscanner.net is a pretty good resource for flight bookings.

I just Googled it and literally found thousands of results.

Yes but to fly out on the 01/06 and come back on 05/06 ? Tried German wings but nothing there, also tried hotel and flights but all seem to be non direct.
Thanks for the info Forumosaurus but its not very helpful, maybe you could enlighten me as to where you found them.

Cheers Truman ill give it a go. I've been trying for flights from airports further up north, maybe that's where I'm going wrong.

I think Lufthansa might go there from Manchester..

www.flightmapping.com is worth a look too from the sounds of it. Try being flexible on dates if possible - can make things much cheaper.

Google 'Direct flights to Berlin', like I did, it gives you a list of airports and how long it takes on the plane.

There are 12-14 flights to Berlin every day day from London alone.

"Flights from London, UK (all airports) to Berlin, Germany (all airports)
Non-stop flights:12–14 per day, 1h 50m duration
Airlines: British Airways, easyJet, Lufthansa, Ryanair"

I don't know why this wasn't your first port of call.

And welcome to the forum...

I've flown from East Midlands direct to Berlin Schoenefeld 2 or 3 times with Ryanair but not for about 3 years. Schoenefeld is south east of Berlin about 30-40 minutes by S-Bahn into the city centre, every 10 minutes. The S-Bahn splits just as it gets near the city centre with one branch running along the south side of the city and the other going right through the city centre. You can also get a bus to a U-Bahn station on the south side of the city.

Try www.airberlin.com fly from Newcastle or Manchester

There are currently no direct flights to Berlin from Manchester, although Easyjet and Lufthansa do start a service later in the summer, June 3rd i think.

The airberlin Manchester / Newcastle - Berlin flights are a codeshare with BA, so you infact end up flying on a BA aircraft having to make a connection at Heathrow.

I looked at this a couple of years ago and the only direct flights I could find were from Luton. I flew Leeds-Schiphol-Berlin with KLM/Lufthansa instead and it was fine, very easy connection, and landing at Tegel made it easy to get to the hotel in Berlin. It was also much quicker to go through Schiphol than through Heathrow.

There are lots of flights from Manchester, a few from East Mids, Liverpool, Leeds/Bradford, etc. I can't see the problem? Try www.skyscanner.net

anywebsite · 27-01-2012, 10:27

What about from Leeds on Jet2? http://www.skyscanner.net/flights/lb...june-2012.html or from Luton on Easyjet might be cheaper.

Last time I flew with airberlin from Manchester it was a transfer flight down to Stanstead. The total travel time from getting to my house to Berlin was something like 8 hours.

As I said no direct non stop flights to Berlin from Manchester until June 3rd, but plenty of 1 stop options available. Jet2 from Leeds Bradford from June 1st but that flight only runs 3 days a week. Otherwise it's getting a flight from the London area.

If wanting to flying out on June 1st, I personally would go for the 1 stop flight from Manchester.
