Frequently asked questions

All about the best time to travel

Where can I fly for winter sun from Germany?

The Canary Islands are mild all year round and about four and a half hours away. It gets warmer on the Red Sea and in Dubai, and further afield in the Caribbean, the Maldives or Thailand.

What does “best time to visit” mean?

We mark the months in which the weather is usually most pleasant for a beach holiday: warm, fairly dry and not too hot. Outside these months a trip can still be lovely, and it is often cheaper.

Do the flight times apply from every airport?

They are based on Frankfurt. Flight times from other German airports are similar. On the “Flights” page, the departures board shows flight times from seven airports.
