Flights to Berlin

Fly to Berlin from London and you'll touch down in just under two hours.

When you book your trip the month you plan to travel will impact the cost of your flight, so use our low fare finder to find the cheapest options. Alongside summer, the first two weeks of October and the festive season are popular times to visit Berlin. So, if you’re travelling on a budget, you might want to avoid these periods.

Berlin is often considered one of Europe’s more affordable cities. It’s got an A to Z of attractions that you can visit using a three-day museum pass, and you can pick up cheap local eats – like currywurst or schnitzel – all across the city. If up to five people plan to use public transport together, a 24-hour group travel ticket is often better value than a day ticket each.

Berlin’s public transport system is a very effective way to see the city. It takes about 30 minutes to reach the centre from the airport, depending on how you travel. The underground system – known locally as the U-Bahn – or overground trains, plus taxis, buses, trams and even boats are on hand to get you around during your stay.

You can also hire a car with British Airways if you want to get out of the city and see more of what Germany has to offer. You’ll receive great benefits, with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support, plus you’ll collect Avios points on every rental.

Berlin’s a perfect mix of the past and present. It often feels like there’s a historical monument or museum on every corner, but the nightclubs, beer gardens, and the Panoramapunkt – Europe’s fastest lift – all put up a worthy fight for their spot on any visitor’s to-do list. When you’re not eating and drinking your way around the city, enjoy 360 degree views from the top of the TV Tower and marvel at the grandeur of the Berlin Cathedral.

You can book a hand baggage-only ticket or make the most of our generous baggage allowance. If you choose economy standard or one of our British Airways Holidays’ packages, each passenger can check in a bag weighing up to 23kg – in addition to a handbag, laptop case or other small bag. Families travelling in any cabin with younger children can also check in one car seat and one fully collapsible pushchair. Read more about baggage allowances for children.

If you’re flying in our business cabin, you can check in two bags weighing up to 32kg each. Read our baggage guide for full details.

Citizens of the UK and Ireland and EU passport holders do not need a visa to visit Germany. If you hold a passport from a country or territory outside of these areas, you may need to apply for a visa before you travel. You can find out more about visa requirements for all the countries we fly to at the IATA Travel Centre.

Discover outstanding service from the moment you book. Choose to fly with hand baggage only or pick a price that includes a 23kg checked baggage allowance and free seat selection 24 hours before you fly. On board you’ll find HEPA-filtered air, quality on-board catering, and a warm, uniquely British welcome.

Simply relax and let us take care of you, every step of the way.
