Flights to Berlin
Welcome to Deutschland’s capital – where history sits shoulder to shoulder with modern Germany. Here, wartime relics are neighbours with fast-food restaurants, while abandoned warehouses double as world-class nightclubs. And every season brings something different to the city, from December’s Christmas markets to the line-up of open-air events in the summer.
Our cheapest flights to Berlin
A culture vulture’s dream
See Berlin’s culture clash for yourself on a direct flight from the UK with British Airways.
Watch locals roller skate down a runway at the former Tempelhof Airport and spend hours exploring museums dedicated to everything from samurai to contemporary art. Germany is a haven for beer drinkers, and while you won’t find traditional beer halls here like you do in Munich, Berlin hosts its own Oktoberfest every autumn.
To see as much of the city as possible, rent a bike for your stay and tick off the city’s markets, parks and historic sites. No matter the season, there’s something wonderful to be discovered on your holiday to Berlin.

Berlin flight FAQs
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.
