Air Berlin is having a Black Friday sale.

Round-trip flights from Chicago (ORD) to Berlin (TXL) are $485, NONSTOP. It’s possible to re-position into Chicago from Dallas (DFW) for $81 round-trip on most Wednesdays in January and February via United or American Airlines. If you combine these two separate round-trip tickets, you can get from Dallas (DFW) to Berlin (TXL) for $566 with a connection in Chicago (ORD). Sale ends at Midnight on Tuesday, December 01. See the Flight Details section of this post for example booking dates.

Air Berlin is a Oneworld member. You can credit miles back to your American Airline account. Note, W fares only earn 25% accrual.

IMPORTANT: This deal involves re-positioning into and out-of Chicago (ORD) by using United or American Airlines to get you there. Understand that you’ll be using two round-trip tickets on two different carriers. This means that you should give yourself ample layover time to make your connection; I suggest more than 3-hours if you’re not familiar with the airports involved. If you buy travel insurance, make sure that the policy has a “Missed Connections” benefit that covers missed flights due to delays over 3-hours.

As for Travel Insurance, consider the plans at AXA.

So just to recap…

1. Fly from Dallas (DFW) to Chicago (ORD) for about $81 round-trip on American, or United. They have midweek flights in January and February at a discount right now.
2. Use the Black Friday deal on being offered by Air Berlin to get from Chicago (ORD) to Berlin (TXL) for $486.
3. $485 + $81 = $566.
4. Remember to give yourself enough time to make your connections.
5. Consider buying insurance that covers a missed connection due to a delay of your earlier flight.
6. Have a fun trip! 🙂
