More suggestions for finding cheap flights to Berne
Direct flights to Berne
The Swiss capital, like other capital cities which are stuck halfway between two larger business centres, lacks the kind of flight route network which it might otherwise have merited. However, it still comes as a surprise to many people that flights to Berne are available at all, considering the prominence of Geneva as a no frills hub, and Zurich as a major banking centre.
Berne's tiny Belp Airport is approximately six miles to the south of the Swiss capital, under the watchful eye of the stunning Jungfrau mountain region. Alas perceived high prices and Belp’s short runway discourage most no-frills airlines from serving Berne. However, Flybe have found an ideal niche by taking advantage of their smaller aircraft fleet, and operating cheap flights to Berne from their bases in Southampton and Birmingham.
For the business oriented traveller, Darwin Airlines also operate flights from London City to Berne, but these are not usually available through the online consolidators.
Connecting flights to Berne
Connecting flights to Berne are available via Munich, but currently no other European city offers flights there. A much wider range of flights is available to either Geneva, Zurich or Basel. All of these cities are a similar distance from Berne, although Zurich and Geneva airports offer much better onward connections, as both have railway stations inside their terminals.
Public transport connections
Although Berne Airport does not have a station, there are regular bus links, which naturally, like the rest of the Swiss public transport system, operate like clockwork. A short bus ride will take you to the suburban Belp station, from where you can continue towards Berne itself, or south towards Spiez, and onwards to popular outdoor centres such as Interlaken, or Zermatt via Brig.
