Cheap flights from Birmingham to Hannover

February is the cheapest month on this route, which fits the quiet stretch after the winter holidays. October, November, December, January, March, May and June all have prices listed too, so you can compare a trip over Christmas or a spring break against a February fare without guessing. Expect fares to firm up around school holidays and the festive weeks; a midweek departure usually gives you more room than a Friday. With no nonstop option, book far enough ahead that the connection you want still has seats.

Every itinerary links through another hub, and the carrier decides where that stop happens. Scandinavian Airlines routes via the Nordic capitals, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines via Amsterdam, while Lufthansa, Lufthansa City Airlines, Air Dolomiti, Swiss, Edelweiss Air and Helvetic Airways channel traffic through their Swiss and German bases. Easyjet and Air Baltic sit on the low-cost side, so checked bags and sometimes cabin luggage cost extra, whereas the full-service carriers bundle a bag into the fare. Lufthansa City Airlines is the group's short-haul operation, so expect a straightforward regional feed rather than a widebody.

Planes land at Hannover Airport, and if your connection runs late in the day the S-Bahn into the centre may be thinning out by the time you clear the terminal, so check the departure board before you queue for a taxi. The airport sits outside the city, with the S-Bahn as the usual way in and taxis or rides taking longer at rush hour. If the last train has gone, a pre-booked transfer or a night at a hotel near the airport beats an expensive cab across town. Keep your onward address handy for the driver either way.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Baggage is the first cost gap here: on Easyjet and Air Baltic a checked bag is an add-on, while Lufthansa, Swiss, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Scandinavian Airlines include one, so price the total, not the fare.
• Birmingham has a single airport, so your only choice is departure time, not terminal.
• Every option connects somewhere, so check the layover length and whether the ticket covers a missed connection or books two separate tickets that do not.
• Bring valid travel documents for Germany and confirm what your airline accepts for entry.
• If you travel in December or around school holidays, compare those dates against the February fares before committing.
