Eurowings targets last-minute travellers and expands its onboard menu

Germany

The airline highlights short-notice fares from Germany while adding a Tim Raue Fleischkäse sandwich and new upcycling products made from retired aircraft materials

With the summer holidays in North Rhine-Westphalia now halfway through, Eurowings is targeting travellers who have yet to make their holiday plans. The airline says fares are still available at short notice to a range of popular European destinations from Düsseldorf and Cologne/Bonn as well as other German airports.

At the same time, Eurowings is expanding its onboard food selection with another creation by German chef Tim Raue and adding new products made from retired aircraft materials to its merchandise range.

Last-minute options for European summer destinations

Eurowings points in particular to departures within the next one to two weeks. Destinations with available fares include Palma de Mallorca, Ibiza, Málaga, Alicante and Barcelona in Spain, as well as Olbia, Split, Rhodes, Kos, Venice and Nice.

Travellers looking for short-notice departures can use the airline's low-fare calendar to compare the cheapest available fares within their preferred travel period.

Tim Raue adds Fleischkäse sandwich to onboard menu

Following the introduction of Tim Raue's Currywurst in May, Eurowings is adding a second dish created by the German chef to its onboard menu.

The new Fleischkäse sandwich combines poultry meatloaf in a pretzel roll with mustard, Tabasco mayonnaise, fresh coleslaw and sweet-and-sour pickles. It is priced at 6.90 euros.

Eurowings is also offering the sandwich as an Oktoberfest deal together with a bottle of Hachenburger Helles beer for 9.90 euros.

Retired aircraft materials get a second life

Eurowings is also expanding its range of upcycled merchandise. In cooperation with BAG TO LIFE, materials and components that are no longer needed aboard aircraft are being transformed into new products.

Retired seatbelts, headrest covers and other materials are used to make items including amenity kits, key rings and barbecue aprons. Rather than being discarded after their original use, the aircraft materials are repurposed for the airline's merchandise range.

The products are available through the Eurowings Merch Store.
