Eurowings to launch Exciting first-ever Berlin-Kittilä route Winter 2025

Get your snow boots and woolly hats ready, Berliners—Eurowings is flying you straight into a Finnish snow globe this winter. Starting January 31, 2026, Germany’s favorite leisure airline will launch a brand-new direct route from Berlin to Kittilä, right in the heart of Finnish Lapland. That’s right—this is the first-ever scheduled flight between the German capital and Santa’s unofficial airport.

Flights will operate every Saturday until March 21, giving you a solid excuse to skip your gray Berlin weekends for something a little more… frosty, magical, and reindeer-adjacent. Think: northern lights, log cabins, snowmobiles, and enough hot chocolate to make your dentist weep.

Lapland Calling: Why Kittilä?

If you’re asking “Where on earth is Kittilä?”—you’re not alone. But soon, it’ll be on every Berlin hipster’s Instagram feed. Nestled deep in Finnish Lapland, Kittilä is the gateway to Levi, one of Finland’s top ski resorts and the kind of place where the snow is always fluffy, the air smells like pine, and even the snowmen seem more relaxed.

It’s a destination where your phone might freeze before your fingers do, but you won’t care—because you’ll be too busy mushing your own team of huskies, sleeping in glass igloos, or casually chasing the aurora borealis like it’s a Nordic game of hide-and-seek.

Until now, getting from Berlin to this winter wonderland required multiple flights, a train, a bus, and a vague sense of adventure. But Eurowings is cutting the fuss and flying nonstop, via trusty Airbus A320s, making snow-drenched weekends in the Arctic Circle as easy as a trip to your in-laws. (Easier, in fact—less small talk, more thermal gear.)

Eurowings: Making Lapland More Accessible Than Ever

This isn’t Eurowings’ first snowy rodeo. They already fly to other northern Finnish airports like Ivalo, Rovaniemi, Kuusamo, and even good ol’ Helsinki. But this Berlin–Kittilä link marks a new chapter in their winter escapades. It’s part of their growing strategy to corner the market on snow-loving Germans with an itch for pine forests, frozen lakes, and guilt-free glögi consumption.

According to the Reiseanalyse 2024 study (commissioned by Visit Finland, because of course they did), up to 3.5 million Germans are thinking about a Finnish holiday in the next three years. That’s a lot of thermal underwear. Eurowings clearly saw those numbers and thought, “You know what this calls for? More Lapland.” And Berlin, always ready to trade club nights for cozy fireside vibes, is getting first dibs.

Why You Should Care (Even If You’re Not into Snow)

Not into skiing or being outdoors when it’s -20°C? No problem. Kittilä has plenty to offer the more indoorsy traveler. You can hit a spa, dine on local delicacies like reindeer stew (yes, Rudolph has a dark side), or just post smug photos of you wrapped in fur next to a bonfire while your friends back home defrost their windshields.

Or better yet: visit Santa Claus Village, because apparently the man in red lives just a couple hours away from the airport. (Pro tip: don’t tell him what you did in Berlin last summer.)

Bottom Line: Book It Before Everyone Else Does

So, whether you’re a winter sports enthusiast, a northern lights chaser, or just someone who’s tired of Berlin’s slushy sidewalks and January blues, Eurowings is giving you a direct escape hatch to a winter paradise.

One flight, one Saturday, one ticket to Finland’s frosty fantasyland. Just be warned: after a weekend in Kittilä, you may never look at your local Christmas market the same way again.

And with only weekly flights, you might want to book fast—before every Berliner with a puffer jacket gets the same idea.
