Eurowings (EW) to start long-haul services to leisure markets

With the official sales launch at the International Tourism Exchange (ITB) in Berlin, short and long-haul routes can now be booked with new Eurowings to fly from 25 October 2015 onwards. Eurowings intercontinental flights depart from Cologne/Bonn Airport. The cheapest tickets on the long-haul routes are already on offer from EUR 99.99 per route. The first flights will take off to the Caribbean, Dubai and Thailand.
...
Under the umbrella of the Eurowings sales brand, the range of European and domestic routes will be expanded with intercontinental city and holiday destinations. From the winter flight plan 2015/16 onwards, the new route network will include Dubai, the Thai cities of Bangkok and Phuket, as well as the Caribbean destinations of Varadero and Punta Cana.
...
The Cologne/Bonn – Dubai route for example is offered as a one way ticket at prices from EUR 99.99 (BASIC), EUR 149.99 (SMART) and EUR 399.99 (BEST). All flights can be bought from today at www.germanwings.com. The BEST and SMART fares can also be booked through travel agents. Booking will be available through www.eurowings.com from October.

Lufthansa head of finance Markus Ott ... said (02-Mar-2015) the carrier's new low-cost carrier Eurowings will start long-haul services to leisure markets but noted no firm decision has yet been made. "... that might be the Caribbean, that might be Florida." Mr Ott continued: "Thailand might be one of those destinations where its difficult for the Lufthansa brand to be really profitable but maybe for Eurowings. The same is true maybe for places in India where we don't have much business travellers and that might also be a good place."
