Berlin Flights

Glamorous, audacious, and culturally rich, Berlin is a city that has seen its share of hard times, but is rapidly becoming a profoundly appealing destination. Filled with museums like the Deutsches Historisches Museum and sights like the Berlin Wall memorial, this city is a paradise for the history buff.
For those who prefer the arts, there is the Gemäldegalerie and the Friedrichstadtpalast, while those who want some relaxation may like to amble around the Tiergarten or explore Kurfürstendamm. With the vast array of activities in this ever-popular location, cheap flights to Berlin are easy to find with some forward planning.

Best time to travel to Berlin

Peak Season:

From May to September, the weather in this city is usually mild and pleasant. It is important to book flights before the start of the peak season, as tourists tend to crowd the streets during this period. This fact is not surprising, as the wonderful climate makes visiting the Zoologischer Garten, relaxing at the Prater beer garden, or taking a Berlin City Hop-on Hop-off Tour a delightful experience.

Shoulder Season:

The shoulder season in Berlin lasts from October to December. Around Christmastime, the city bursts with tourists; however, the rest of the season is quiet, making flights to Berlin relatively inexpensive. Since the weather during this spell can be bracing, these months are excellent for taking in some of the indoor attractions, like the Kaiser Wilhelm Gedächtniskirche and the Deutsches Theatre.

Off Season:

From January to April, Berlin sees a lull in tourism. Despite that, this is a great time to go, as the city comes alive with events, like the Berlin International Film Festival, Karneval, and Lange Nacht der Museen.

Do you have any tips for my flight to Berlin?
If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your holiday in Berlin. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Berlin?
Being organised before your flight will help make your trip to Berlin a breeze. Read through our handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
  • There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
