Where to find cheapest Germanwings airfares?

Posted on March 14th, 2012. Written by bookingbusinesstravel.

We conducted this study on behalf of a client who travels frequently to their offices in Stuttgart from London.

We recommend using our Skyscanner flight search engine to compare schedules and fares but the following booking tips will save you additional time and costs:

Tip 1
Choose the “Compare Times” option for an easier display by departure time

Tip 2
After choosing the German Wings flights you will be offered a choice of companies through whom you can book.
Always chose German Wings direct – even if the fare appears to be cheaper elsewhere!

We compared Skyscanner Fares for a Heathrow-Stuttgart-Heathrow flight, midweek travel on specific flights.

Opodo quote £209 but actually £273 plus £20 booking fee plus £7 credit card fee Total £300!
Ebookers quote £273 which increased to £283 plus £7 credit card Total £290!
German Wings direct originally quoted at £283 appeared to be the most expensive but after researching the above options, it is clearly the best booking option. German Wings also added a £7 credit card fee at the end.

Additional benefits of booking direct:
Your reservation is made directly on the airline’s booking engine and not through a third party.
You can deal direct with the airline if there is a problem later on
The option of reserving a seat directly with German Wings is available for direct bookings
Special offers and different fare types are offered direct.
