  "account": "Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) is witnessing increased activity from budget airlines WizzAir and Eurowings, as the carriers expand their destinations. WizzAir is launching a new direct link to Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, beginning December 3rd, 2026. The twice-weekly flights on Thursdays and Sundays will have fares starting at 19.99 Euro, with the airline citing demand for a direct route between Berlin and Sarajevo as the motivation. WizzAir, already serving several European destinations from BER, such as Bratislava, Skopje, Bucharest, Budapest, Belgrade, Sofia, and Kutaisi in Georgia, aims to bolster connections with Southeast and Eastern Europe.\n\nEurowings, a subsidiary of Lufthansa, is also broadening its winter schedule from BER. Daily flights to Dubai are set to resume on November 1st, resuming after being suspended following the US and Israeli strikes on Iran in February 2026. Premium Business seating, featuring four individual seats per row, will be introduced on all Dubai flights from December 1st, with the configuration planned to be rolled out across Eurowings' Airbus A320neo fleet. Starting November 12th, the airline will fly twice weekly to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with new winter cities added to the route, including Rome, Bologna, and Kuusamo, Finland. Eurowings will also maintain its summer routes to Porto and Bilbao, with Lisbon and Sarajevo joining the winter schedule in December. Jerez de la Frontera will be added later in October. Eurowings plans to connect Cologne/Bonn (CGN) to Tbilisi, Georgia, in December and January.",
