Eurowings is continuing the expansion of its long-haul offering to the USA and will double the number of routes to North America by July 2017. In addition to Las Vegas and Miami, the quality low-cost carrier will then offer affordable flights from Cologne/Bonn to Orlando and Seattle.

Eurowings has now introduced 72-hour airfare reservations. This enables customers to save the price of any flight found and then make plans with family or friends, or book other components of their trip, such as concert tickets, hire cars or hotels, calmly and without a rush.

Eurowings is taking the next step towards pan-European expansion, with the low-cost carrier opening its first base in a non-German-speaking foreign country in Palma de Mallorca. The Spanish island in the Mediterranean has long been seen as a top holiday destination with guaranteed sunshine far beyond Germany’s borders and has been breaking one visitor record after another for months.

Borussia Dortmund took off for the first time earlier on board their new team Airbus. The players of the eight-time German champions travelled – from Dortmund via Salzburg – to their first pre-season training camp on the Eurowings Airbus A320 painted in the club colours of black and yellow. Having their “own” aircraft went down well with the players who were waved off at Dortmund airport in the direction of the Kitzbühl Alps by Eurowings chief executives Oliver Wagner and Michael Knitter.

Eurowings has launched flights to the United States with Boston, MA as its first North American destination. The move comes as the carrier seeks to develop and expand its long-haul network. This new flight will give Boston-area residents the opportunity to fly direct to Cologne and beyond.

Eurowings is increasing its flight range from its busiest location, Düsseldorf, with two new summer routes. The German airline will depart from Düsseldorf for the first time to Kavala in Macedonia Greece this summer, and Bastia on the French island of Corsica.
