New Germania route to Agadir: bathing paradise on the edge of the desert

Germania will be connecting Berlin Tegel with the southern Moroccan port city of Agadir in this winter’s flight plan. From 7th November, every Wednesday in only 4.5 hours you can be in Morocco’s most modern city, which offers almost 10km of the finest sandy beaches as well as year-round ideal bathing temperatures. The Atlantic Ocean guarantees the best conditions for surfers and the region is also a popular holiday destination with golfers. You won’t just find sand on the numerous beaches, but also in the nearby foothills of the Sahara: explore the desert on camel or by Jeep safari. As well as this, Agadir’s numerous markets invite you to browse and marvel at not only traditional handicrafts, but also oriental spices or fresh fruits and vegetables – haggling included. Your purchased souvenirs can be comfortably transported on your return flight with 20kg of checked baggage.

Europe made easy from Berlin: 17 new easyJet destinations

Since at least the beginning of the summer timetable, the orange easyJet planes from Berlin have become indispensable. Just over half a year ago, the low-cost carrier from the UK presented its extensive flight programme for the current summer. Since July, the offer has been extended further by 14 new routes. Three more connections are to follow in September and October. From Tegel, for example, there are popular destinations such as Menorca, Cagliari and Biarritz. Nordic destinations such as Aarhus, Gothenburg and Oslo are also being served from now. With more than 100 connections and 16 million seats, the airline has not only grown into the largest in Berlin, but also operates its largest base outside the UK with Berlin’s airports.
