Discover Airlines Thrilling Summer with 70 Flights to 17 Dream Destinations

Discover Airlines Boosts Morocco Routes for Winter 2026/27

Discover Airlines Boosts Morocco Routes for Winter 2026/27

If your ideal winter getaway is replacing grey skies with colourful souks, ocean breezes and the aroma of fresh mint tea, then Discover Airlines has just gifted you some very good news.

The carrier is going to its network in Morocco for Winter 2026/27 with two new routes making your escape from Europe’s winter months much more enticing. From late October 2026, it’s possible for travelers to fly from Frankfurt directly to Agadir and from Munich to Fez.

And yes, that last one is a little piece of aviation bragging — the Munich–Fez flight will be the only nonstop link between those cities.

Not too shabby for folks who like their adventures without extra stopovers.

Two New Routes, Lots of Sunshine

Let’s take a closer look at what’s really launching.

The Frankfurt–Agadir route will operate twice weekly, Mondays and Fridays. That schedule is pretty much built for long weekends or weeklong winter breaks — after all, who doesn’t want to swap frost for Atlantic beaches for a few days?

Munich–Fez will operate weekly on Sundays, providing travellers with a direct access point into one of Morocco’s most interesting cities.

Both flights run about four hours (which in travel terms is the sweet spot: long enough to justify a proper in-flight movie, short enough that you don’t start second-guessing your life choices halfway through).

The routes will run all winter long, from late October 2026 to late March 2027 — exactly when much of Europe is wondering why daylight seems to vanish around 3 p.m.

Morocco Is Clearly Having Its Moment

After these additions, Discover Airlines will offer 16 weekly flights to Morocco in winter, at three destinations.

The airline already operates to Marrakesh from Frankfurt and Munich, a destination that’s become something of a winter favourite among European travellers. Those routes will remain with up to 13 weekly flights, meaning Morocco is rapidly becoming a significant focus for the airline’s leisure network.

And to be honest, it’s not difficult to understand why.

Morocco is one of those destination with a bit of everything — beaches, mountains, ancient cities, amazing food and enough colour and culture to give your camera roll a workout.

Why Agadir and Fez?

Each of the new destinations offers something different.

Agadir is the laid-back coastal star of Morocco. Sailing along the Atlantic, it is famed for its broad sandy beaches, laid-back resort ambience and year-round sunshine that tends to entice visitors fleeing bobbler latitudes.

It’s also a portal to some beautiful scenery. Also nearby, Souss-Massa National Park is known for its birdlife and rugged coastline; and just inland the Atlas Mountains await for travellers who like their adventures to have a bit of elevation.

It is in Fez that things get merrily historical.

Often viewed as the cultural and spiritual heart of Morocco, Fez boasts the extraordinary Fes el Bali — a UNESCO-listed medieval medina that gets you feeling like you’re back in another century. Narrow alleys, vibrant markets, artisan workshops — and yes, the occasional donkey with packages — only enhance its signature magic.

It’s the sort of place where getting lost isn’t an issue. It’s kind of part of the itinerary.

A Partnership Behind the Expansion

The new routes didn’t come from nowhere, of course. They come in the wake of a newly enhanced partnership between Discover Airlines and the Moroccan National Tourist Office, both announced at ITB Berlin.

The goal? Attract more leisure visitors to experience Morocco over the quieter winter months — when the destination’s pleasantly temperate climate is at its most attractive.

And given current travel trends, the timing makes sense. European travellers are increasingly seeking out destinations that offer warm temperatures, cultural richness and relatively short flights.

Morocco ticks all three boxes.

The Winter Escape Equation

So what does all this now mean for travellers?

Simply put: more options. Forego the usual shortlist of winter sun spots and visitors from Germany are now set to land directly into not one, but two more treasures in Morocco.

Four hours after departing chilly Frankfurt or Munich, you might be walking the beachfront promenade in Agadir or getting lost in the labyrinthine alleys of Fez.

Which, if we’re being honest with ourselves, beats another drizzly afternoon trapped at home.

Add winter 2026/27 to the growing list of years already looking a lot warmer.

Lufthansa: A350s, Allegris, and a Cabin Makeover That Would Impress Marie Kondo

Let’s start with the headliner: Lufthansa. This winter, they’re giving their long-haul fleet a makeover with the sleek new Allegris cabins, because apparently, even airplanes deserve spa days. The upgrade covers every cabin class—from Economy (where your knees may now rejoice) to First Class (where you basically get a hotel suite in the sky).

And they’re not being shy about it. Ten fancy Airbus A350-900s with Allegris are flying out of Munich daily to the likes of New York (both JFK and Newark, because Lufthansa doesn’t pick sides), Chicago, Miami, Tokyo, Cape Town, and Shanghai. Bengaluru gets three weekly flights, which is perfect if you’re craving sunshine and tech startups.

Meanwhile, Frankfurt gets in on the glam with Allegris debuting on the Boeing 787-9 and those big, beautiful 747-8s (the ones that look like they belong in a museum but still rock the skies).

Lufthansa’s also keeping some summer newcomers—Bydgoszcz (Poland) and Oradea (Romania)—through winter. Oh, and the Airbus A380 is sticking around in Munich for its greatest hits tour to LA, San Francisco, Bangkok, and Delhi, because passengers love it and so do the flight crews (and frankly, we all enjoy walking upstairs mid-flight just because we can).

Austrian Airlines: Moving Milan, Doubling Down on Bangkok

Austrian Airlines is channeling their inner travel influencer by increasing flights from Vienna to Bangkok to up to twice daily—perfect for those who prefer pad thai over strudel in January.

And for anyone tired of dragging themselves across Milan’s endless airport hallways, good news: Austrian is switching flights from Malpensa to the much more central Linate Airport, aka Milan’s version of “actually convenient.”

They’re also expanding Innsbruck’s international menu, now offering flights to Amsterdam, in addition to Brussels, Warsaw, and Copenhagen. So yes, your ski trip just got some extra culture baked in.

SWISS: Eastern Europe and Alpine Access for the Ski-Happy

SWISS is focusing on Eastern Europe and snow-chasers. Routes to Krakow, Cluj-Napoca, and Košice return like seasonal favorites, and Washington D.C. gets added back to Zurich’s long-haul list—because nothing says winter quite like Swiss precision meeting Capitol Hill gridlock.

Out of Geneva, they’re boosting flights to Ireland, the UK, and Scandinavia, mostly to accommodate the incoming flood of people who just realized the Swiss Alps > any Zoom background.

Brussels Airlines: All In on Africa

Brussels Airlines is quietly becoming the go-to airline if your travel bucket list includes West Africa. They’re adding more flights to Togo, Senegal, Guinea, Liberia, Ghana, and Sierra Leone—basically reinforcing their title as Lufthansa Group’s African network MVP.

Eurowings: Turning Berlin into a Desert Gateway

Eurowings is feeling fancy. This winter, they’ll fly three times a week to Abu Dhabi from Berlin, making it the capital’s third long-haul destination after Dubai and Jeddah. Berlin–Dubai also gets a frequency boost (up to 11 times a week), probably because Berliners realized it’s warmer there.

Plus: HanoverDubai, StuttgartJeddah, and new Marsa Alam flights from Cologne, Hamburg, and Berlin. Basically, if there’s sun involved, Eurowings is taking you there.

Discover Airlines: Seychelles and Snow in the Same Schedule

Last but not least, Discover Airlines is really living up to its name. This winter, they’re launching direct flights from Frankfurt to the Seychelles—because yes, you do deserve that tropical escape after surviving German winter.

Other highlights? MunichPunta Cana (sun, rum, done) and a chilly new route to Alta, Norway, for those who enjoy snowflakes and Northern Lights more than sunburn and sand.

Bottom line? Lufthansa Group’s winter schedule is stacked. Whether you’re chasing sun, snow, schnitzel, or a better seat in business class, they’ve got you covered—Allegris and all.
