BERLIN, Germany, 2014-9-25 — /Travel PR News/ — A sightseeing flight over the North Pole: in spring 2015 airberlin and the experts at Deutsche Polarflug are again offering this extraordinary trip. At 9 a.m. on 25 April, flight AB1111 will leave Düsseldorf for the vast expanses of the Arctic. The Airbus A330-200 belonging to airberlin’s long-haul fleet will not just fly over the North Pole and Arctic Ocean.

Some passengers have even travelled to Düsseldorf from the US and Australia in order to be on the flight,’ according to Karsten von dem Hagen, Head of Sales Adhoc Flights at airberlin.

Polar explorers are on board to provide entertainment and background information about the unique nature of the Arctic, in the form of lectures. Films about the Polar region are also shown.
