Tips for planning your trip to Greece

Greece is very popular with holidaymakers this year. However, there are a few things to consider in advance when entering the country.

This must be carried on your smartphone or on paper during the trip. Otherwise, boarding may be refused and if you still make it to Greece, you may be fined up to 500 euros.

Green Airlines: 1.700 kilometers of empty flight for just four passengers

With just four passengers on board, German Airways took off for Paderborn on Friday for charter operator Green Airlines from Cologne/Bonn Airport.

A ferry flight from Spain to pick up just four passengers in Cologne/Bonn and fly them to Westerland via Paderborn would probably not fit in with that. The return flight had the remarkable circumstance that it ended in Paderborn due to a lack of passengers. There were no passengers at all on the segment between this city and Cologne/Bonn. German Airways therefore flew the D-AZFA back to Spain. Green Airlines is not an airline, but a company that charters aircraft and sells the seats on its own account. This is exactly where things seem to be going wrong, because people are changing their so-called “flight partners” like underwear. Just Us Air is not the first airline under whose flight numbers tickets were sold, but according to their own statements no contract was signed. Air Alsie suffered the same fate last year. The French Chalair said goodbye after only a few legs and Pad Aviation did not last long either. German Airways withdrew from holiday flights from Paderborn and Rostock. This week flights from Groningen were also cancelled. German Airways wants to address this issue in detail.
