Berlin is a happening city packed with exciting events, concerts, exhibition and shows all year round. Germany’s focus for 2018 is “Culinary Germany” which aims to introduce travellers to the country’s gourmet highlights such as the popular Currywurst in Berlin or the many Michelin starred restaurants in the capital,” according to Stefanie Eberhard, Director of the German National Tourist Office in Sydney.

Both have lived up to our expectations and our guests tell us that the 787 Dreamliner has been key to convincing them to travel long-haul on low-cost. With Berlin, we continue on our mission to bring more choices for great value long-haul, low-cost travel to more travellers so they can escape the ordinary!”
