All Across Europe With Germanwings

Dear air travelers,

We wish to bring to your attention a wealth of new opportunities brought to you by the so-called low-cost carriers otherwise known as no-frills airlines. This segment of the air travel market is experiencing an on-going boom in its development the world over, and one of the airlines of this type has been operating regular services out of Vnukovo International since 2005.

By choosing to fly with Germanwings you can travel to any of the following destinations in Germany: Berlin (7 weekly flights) Cologne/Bonn (7 weekly frequencies) Stuttgart (3 flights a week) and Hamburg (served 3 times weekly). The average air fare, if a seat is booked 2 to 3 weeks prior to the departure date, stands at USD 140 (one way, all taxes and charges included).

 Germanwings also offers all its passengers on-line subscription to its newsletter, bringing to your e-mail box all the latest in:

  new promotion campaigns

  competitions and games with prizes to contend for

 What if you need to make an onward journey to say Italy or Portugal?

Germanwings provides just such an opportunity. The airline’s current route network boasts regular services to numerous destinations in England, Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Croatia, Yugoslavia, Albania, Greece, and Turkey. Bulgaria and Macedonia have been added to this list this Summer.

 How do I book a seat on a Germanwings flight then?  Please log on to the carrier’s website at  : http://www.germanwings.com/index.en.shtml , select your destination and a suitable flight going there, book a seat on that flight and pay for your reservation by credit card, all done by following the directions you will find on the website.

  The alternative option is to turn for assistance to Messrs. Olympia Reisen, a German tour operator and the carrier’s general agents in Russia. Please log on to : http://www.olr.ru/about/aviab/germanwings  or book by phone :

  +7 (495) 691-79-90, 691-63-01, 797-26-88, 697-93-67
695-83-58
 or simply buy your ticket(s) at the Olympia Reisen midtown office  

 What are the potential drawbacks of the arrangement?

They are but few:

• Your flight will not be a direct one (if you choose to travel beyond Germany)
• The in-flight catering or the food and snacks on board will not come included in the ticket price and you will therefore be expected to pay for them.
• The departure time of your flight might not be the most convenient you would expect
• You cannot cancel and get a refund of your reservation, you can only change the date of your trip with Gernanwings.

 Are you prepared to bear with these slight limitations and will you be able to really save on the
     cost of your air trip?

You can find your own answer to this question simply by comparing the travel options and range of services offered to you by Germanwings and by other air carriers.

As far as flight safety is concerned, you can rest assured of the highest standards the company maintains in this respect. Germanwings operates a very young fleet of recently built A-319/320 twinjets and relies on the vast experience and expertise of Messrs. Deutchse Lufthansa AG for the technical maintenance of its all-Airbus fleet. The carrier’s flightdeck and cabin crews are eminently experienced and undergo regular upgrade training at the Lufthansa Training Center in Frankfurt, Germany.  

We wish you pleasant flights!
