Dear Germanwings Guests

the Germanwings Website is our business card and our showcase. Lately we have received a number of awards for our appearance. We didn’t let the awards go to our head. Much greater is the incentive, the web pages further to develop and better optimise it. Therefore a new, modern yet user-friendly web page was generated.

More Information »

During this process you, our passenger, played a decisive role. A few hundred have tested the detailed elements of the new pages and voiced their opinion. Your vote was important to us. Your arguments and ideas are integrated in the development of the new homepage.

In its new form the website will be more transparent. One will have at all times the overview with a shopping cart icon displayed on the screen, which additional benefits that one has booked to their flight. Whether rail & Fly ticket, checked-in luggage, desired travel insurance or your requested seat – every single service will be depicted at a glance. Book a additional service, your virtual shopping cart fills up and the new amount will be clearly seen. Consequently the total price is always kept completely straightforward. With this modern solution we maintain our distinct path of clearer pricing. From this moment on, you can also book your flights quicker with the new website. Where seven steps were required with the old website, four steps are now sufficient.

Every day we work hard thereon, our mission statement, offering high quality for the best price. We are absolutely convinced that you appreciate knowing this and will also think of us fondly in the future.

I wish you a pleasant flight.

Yours truly,

Thomas Winkelmann
