Cheap flights from Shenzhen to Berlin

The weeks on either side of March are worth checking first, since a small date shift can move you into a cheaper fare band; March itself is the cheapest month on this route, while December, January and the summer months can be dearer because of school and Christmas travel.

Book further ahead for those busy periods, compare midweek and weekend departures, and remember that the listed months run from October to May, with July and August also included; if your dates are fixed, check a few days either side and keep an eye on how far ahead each airline releases its cheaper seats.

Etihad Airways is the first name on the list, followed by Hainan Airlines, Juneyao Airlines, Sichuan Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines, Donghai Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, Shanghai Airlines, Malaysia Airlines and Singapore Airlines; none of them flies nonstop on this route, so every itinerary connects somewhere, and the fare you see may or may not include checked baggage, meals or seat choice. Compare the same dates across several carriers, check the transfer airport and connection time, and read the fare rules before you pay, because a cheaper ticket can carry stricter change or baggage terms.

If you land late in the day, check whether your onward transport into Berlin still runs, because BrBrandenburg is not in the city centre and a missed last train can turn a cheap fare into an expensive night. From BrBrandenburg, rail and bus links are the usual way into town, with taxis and ride services as the fallback when services thin out; keep your terminal, arrival time and hotel location in mind, and allow extra time if you have a separate onward ticket. Late arrivals also make it worth choosing a flight with a safer connection rather than the tightest one.
