More Winter Flights from Bremen: Extra Connections to Mallorca and Antalya

For the Christmas period the offering at Bremen Airport is growing: low-cost airlines are adding extra connections to Palma and Antalya. What this means for travelers — and for the airport.

Additional flights to favorite destinations – just in time for the Christmas season

If you drop by Bremen Airport these weeks, you'll notice people are packing larger suitcases again. Airlines are responding to strong demand from northwest Germany and are adding extra winter slots. For many, that means more options toward the sun, especially around Christmas and New Year's.

What's new?

Ryanair, according to the airport, has announced seven additional departures to Palma de Mallorca. That's handy if you want to travel flexibly — or visit relatives over the holidays. And yes, it's the route where the queue at the terminal café often eats up your time in the afternoon.

SunExpress is also adding four extra flights to Antalya – a classic for those still planning beach and mild weather in December. The combination shows: low-cost carriers continue to set the tone for winter traffic.

Why now?

The airport emphasizes close cooperation with its partner airlines. You hear it at the information desk, you read it in press releases: more capacity means better meeting the increased demand. Bremen saw a slight passenger increase in 2024 and wants to carry that momentum forward.

For holidaymakers this concretely means: more departure times, fewer fully booked flights – at least on paper. Frequent flyers should still book early; the Christmas market in front of the terminal usually remains well attended.

A broader perspective

Ryanair operates regular winter connections from several German airports to islands and sun destinations. Frequencies vary by location — from a few connections per week to several flights. The overall picture: demand for island destinations in winter is stable, and airlines adjust their schedules accordingly.

Quick tip from personal experience: if possible, check weekdays (Tuesdays and Wednesdays are often quieter) and plan check-in times generously — security checks can get crowded around holidays.

Whether you're off to Palma or heading to Antalya to escape the gray for a bit of sun: Bremen is offering a few more ways to unwind this winter. And that's pleasant when winter sunshine is suddenly only a two-hour flight away.
