Flights to Germany

Your flight time from London to Germany depends on your destination, but you shouldn’t be in the air for much longer than two hours.

We fly to Germany from London Heathrow and London City.

Summer is the most popular time of year to visit Germany, so book flights in spring or autumn for cheaper flights while still enjoying mild weather and plenty of cultural activities.

With a little research and pre-planning, you can make a trip to Germany fit any budget. There are lots of affordable accommodation options, especially if you choose to travel off-peak and stay outside of the city centres. There are also plenty of cheap eats that will save you a few euros, from outdoor sausage vendors to Turkish and Middle Eastern kiosks. You can enjoy your store-bought drinks outside if the weather is good. The bigger cities also offer free walking tours and admission-free museum days, so keep an eye out for these or visit a local tourism office for more information.

Germany is renowned for its efficient transport system. From rail networks to buses and trams, travelling around Germany couldn’t be easier. You can also rent a car and drive between destinations – and see some sights along the way.

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.

Germany is full of diverse landscapes and interesting places to visit. From sandy beaches on its North Sea islands to electric cities like Berlin and Hamburg, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. It’s also packed with history, from its picturesque medieval towns to its castles in the Rhine Valley – and you’ll find plenty of nature in between. Let’s not forget the majestic Alps in the south for skiing, either.

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.
