airberlin increasing flight frequency to Fort Myers in sunny Florida this summer

Berlin, Germany, 2016-Mar-03 — /Travel PR News/ — airberlin is extending its offer to Fort Myers and will be adding a weekly flight to the sunny Florida destination, increasing flight frequency to four times a week from 5 June 2016. The only European airline with a non-stop connection to Fort Myers, airberlin offers flights from Dusseldorf to the city on the Gulf of Mexico in southwest Florida on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and, soon, Sundays. The flights are connected with many other destinations.

The return flight leaves on the same day at 4:10 pm, reaching Dusseldorf the following day at 7:05 am. Anyone flying Economy can get more legroom for 79 euros per route: all airberlin long-haul aircraft are equipped with 48 XL seats, which offer 15 cm more space – or “pitch”– between the rows. airberlin is thus the airline with the greatest seat pitch on long-haul flights in Economy Class.
