Cheap flights from Birmingham to Berlin

Berlin's weather and daylight shape the price here: by November the city is cold, grey and dark by late afternoon, which is exactly why November is the cheapest month for this route. Fares climb toward Christmas and the markets, hold steadier through spring, and rise again once summer and the school holidays arrive. Midweek departures usually cost less than Fridays and Sundays, and in the busy months it pays to book earlier than it does for a grey November Tuesday.

What the fare includes is the first fork in the road. The nonstop flights on this route come from the low-cost side: Easyjet, EasyJet Europe, Ryanair, Jet2 and Eurowings sell the seat, while hold bags, bigger cabin bags and seat choice appear as paid extras that add up quickly. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Air France, HOP!, Helvetic Airways and Edelweiss Air work the other way, with fuller fares that include more, and the trade is a change of plane along the way. Price both versions with your bags counted before you pick, because the gap often narrows once the extras are in.

You land at Berlin Brandenburg Airport, which sits well outside the centre to the south-east of the city, so leave real time for the last leg into town. The train station is built into the terminal itself, with regional trains and the S-Bahn running into central Berlin and buses covering what the rails miss. Two things to watch: buy a ticket that covers the airport's zone before you board, and keep it to hand, because spot checks on Berlin transport are routine. If you land late, look up the night connections in advance instead of assuming the daytime timetable still runs.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check the entry rules for United Kingdom passport holders visiting Germany, including how long your passport must stay valid after the trip.
• Check whether your fare is nonstop or a one-stop routing, and how much time the connection leaves if a change of plane is involved.
• Check what a low-cost fare includes before adding hold bags, cabin bags and seat selection, because those extras set the real price.
• Check whether a connecting itinerary is one ticket or separate bookings, since a missed link on separate tickets is yours to rebook.
• Check November first in the price calendar, then compare the other months from October through August for a departure that suits you.
