New flights from Manchester to Hamburg: New route unveiled

Tuesday, April 9, 2024

Manchester Airport has announced the inauguration of a novel route to Hamburg, a pivotal development facilitated by Eurowings, which is anticipated to foster connectivity between the UK and Europe, particularly benefiting airline operations and tourists alike.

The newly introduced service, which is set to operate four days a week—Sunday, Monday, Thursday, and Friday—by Eurowings, a subsidiary of Lufthansa known for its budget-friendly offerings within Europe, marks a significant milestone in enhancing air travel options for passengers. This route is not only expected to cater to the demands of travelers seeking affordable flights but also to complement the existing direct flights to Hamburg offered by easyJet, thereby enriching the choices available to passengers traveling from Manchester.

As part of Eurowings’ strategic expansion for the summer season of 2024, the Manchester to Hamburg route emerges amidst the airline’s ambitious endeavor to operate over 440 routes, achieving a first in its operational history as highlighted by Travel Weekly. This expansion is notably timed with Germany’s preparation to host the UEFA European Championships, an event set to significantly increase the influx of travelers through Manchester Airport.

In anticipation of the UEFA European Championships, more than 100,000 individuals are expected to depart from Manchester Airport to partake in the event across eight German cities directly served by the airport. The English football team’s fixtures in Frankfurt against Denmark and in Cologne against Slovenia, with both cities accessible via direct flights from Manchester, are particular highlights of the tournament’s schedule. The potential advancement of England’s team through the knock-out stages could lead to matches in various German cities, including Stuttgart, Hamburg, and Munich, all of which are directly connected to Manchester Airport.

The prospect of England supporters congregating in Hamburg for a quarter-final match is especially notable, given the city’s Fan Zone in the St Pauli district—a location synonymous not only with the local football club but also with the city’s vibrant nightlife.

Beyond the football fervor, Hamburg presents itself as an enticing city break destination, offering a plethora of experiences from leisurely cruises along the Elbe, explorative walking tours delving into the city’s historical richness, to the enjoyment of its renowned fresh fish and seafood offerings. This new route by Eurowings is poised to enhance airline connectivity and enrich the travel experience for tourists and football enthusiasts alike, promising an accessible gateway to the cultural and recreational riches of Hamburg.
