Cheap flights from Manchester to Berlin

Berlin's summer brings long daylight and a city that lives outdoors, and June — right at the front of it — is the cheapest month to fly here. The price calendar runs from October through the following September, so you can watch fares climb into the school holidays and the weeks around Christmas, then ease off again. Midweek departures usually sit calmer than Friday evenings and Sunday returns, and if your dates are tied to a family visit or an event, booking ahead of the peak months is the safer play.

What the base fare covers is the first thing to settle, because the low-cost names on this route — Easyjet, EasyJet Europe, Ryanair, Malta Air, Jet2 and Eurowings — sell the seat and then price bags, seat choice and changes as add-ons. British Airways, Scandinavian Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Aer Lingus sit on the full-service side, where a cabin bag and a more flexible ticket are typically part of the deal. Some of these carriers fly the route nonstop and others connect you through their own hubs; the itinerary will show you which before you pay, so judge the total, not the logo.

Touch down late in the day and Berlin Brandenburg stops being a formality: the suburban and regional trains that carry you into the centre thin out towards evening, so a late landing can leave you with a taxi or a rideshare for the last stretch. The airport sits well outside the built-up city — it is not a walk into town — but the rail link runs straight to the centre by day. Every flight into Berlin lands here, so the carrier you choose changes the flight, not the arrival routine. Check the last train times before you commit to a late departure.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check your passport against Germany's entry rules — since the United Kingdom left the EU, identity cards no longer work at the border.
• Berlin Brandenburg is the only arrival airport, so any fare labelled Berlin lands there.
• Every departure leaves from Manchester International, so there is no second airport to mix up.
• On Easyjet, Ryanair or Jet2, price bags and seat choice into the total before you compare.
• If a connecting option comes as two separate tickets, leave slack between the flights, because unlinked tickets give you no protection if one runs late.
• June is the cheapest month, so slide your dates along the calendar before settling on the school holidays.
