October 28, 2008 by Henk Bekker in Germany

Cheap flights are a major consideration for travelers from Britain and Ireland when flying to Germany to visit a Christmas market (Weihnachtsmarkt). Nürnberg (Nuremberg) is probably the most famous German Christmas market but most German cities have large Weihnachtsmärkte.

If cheap flights are not available on low-cost airlines, also compare deals with regular full-service airlines such as Lufthansa and British Airways bearing in mind that luggage and other surcharges are already included in the advertised prices. German Christmas markets vary in size and flavor but to most foreign visitors the differences will not be that significant, making it quite sensible to pick the market according to the lowest price flights available to whatever German airport.

Suntransfers provides online quotations for transfers by taxi or minibus van between many destinations in Germany.
