Travelers looking for an affordable journey to Berlin will find enticing offers available for late summer travel. Prices may vary slightly based on the specific route chosen.
The fare priced at $750 includes perks such as advance seat assignment, a standard carry-on bag, and one checked bag.
Alternatively, Delta, Air France, and KLM Royal Dutch are offering a Basic Economy fare for $550. However, it’s essential to be aware of the restrictions associated with this fare:
IMPORTANT RESTRICTIONS:
- Advance seat assignments are NOT permitted.
- Checked bags incur additional fees – $75 for the first bag and $100 for the second.
- Changes to bookings are NOT allowed.
- Cancellations are NOT permitted. If a cancellation occurs after the initial 24-hour risk-free period, the Basic Economy fare will be void for future travel.
- Mileage earning is NOT available with this fare.
It’s worth noting that many online travel agencies may not clearly display the Basic Economy or Economy Light fare options from Air France and KLM.
