Eurowings Launches Direct Berlin–Sarajevo Flights from €64.99

Eurowings has resumed direct service between Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) and Sarajevo International Airport (SJJ) as of May 9, 2026 — opening a new low-cost corridor between Germany’s capital and one of the most historically layered cities in the Balkans.

The route operates once a week on Saturdays and runs through to 24 October 2026. During the peak summer window — 2 July to 27 August — Eurowings adds a second weekly rotation on Thursdays, bringing the seasonal frequency to two departures per week. The Lufthansa Group subsidiary operates the service with an Airbus A320, with a scheduled block time of approximately 1 hour 55 minutes each way. Opening fares start at €64.99 one way.

What this means for travellers

Berlin has no shortage of budget connections across Europe, but a direct link to Sarajevo is far from standard. Until this service launched, travellers from Berlin typically routed through Vienna, Frankfurt, or Istanbul to reach Bosnia’s capital, adding three to five hours to what is otherwise a two-hour journey.

Sarajevo offers a genuinely different experience from the more heavily visited parts of the Balkans. The city’s Ottoman bazaar quarter, the Austro-Hungarian architecture of Ferhadija Street, the war-era Tunnel of Hope, and the hillside neighbourhoods around Baščaršija give it a texture that rewards a few days of unhurried walking. Our full Sarajevo travel guide covers the practical details: where to stay, costs, airport transfers, and a three-day itinerary.

For travellers combining Bosnia with the wider region, Sarajevo also works well as a starting point. Mostar is roughly two hours by bus; the Montenegrin coast is around four hours by road. The Bosnia and Herzegovina country guide runs through the full logistics, including onward connections by bus and car hire.

Booking

Tickets are on sale at eurowings.com. Introductory fares from €64.99 are available on select Saturdays across May and June; summer Thursdays carry slightly higher prices but remain well under €100 for advance bookings.
