Lufthansa links Berlin to United States for first time in more than a decade

Lufthansa has begun its first long-haul flight, after 16 years, from Berlin to the United States.

The reintroduction of the Berlin-JFK route brings great news for travellers in the New York area that are interested to fly directly to Berlin.

For the first time since 2001 Lufthansa is stationing a long-haul aircraft in Berlin, thus connecting Germany’s capital and Europe’s most vibrant city with the Big Apple.

Beginning today, Lufthansa will offer non-stop service five times a week – every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday – using an Airbus A330-300, to Berlin.

With this new route, the Lufthansa Group offers direct flights from the New York area to four destinations in Germany — Frankfurt, Munich, Düsseldorf and Berlin.
