The number of flights and destinations served from Northern Germany inceased dramatically in recent years. Low-cost airlines fly to many airports in the north of Germany including Hamburg, Lübeck, Rostock, Bremen, and Hannover. Although most intercontinental passengers still have to travel via Frankfurt International, cheap, direct flights on low-cost airlines allow many European travelers to fly directly to their destinations in Northern Germany.
- Use major ticket reservation services to compare prices and alternative routes before accepting a low-cost airline’s price to a less convenient airport as a true bargain. Also note the additional charges low-cost airlines add for services that are still included on traditional full-service carriers.
