About Germanwings

High standards and self-awareness


Thomas Winkelmann - Sprecher der Geschäftsführung

Affordable, comfortable air travel starts on the ground. For our passengers, the computer at home or in the office has become the 24-hour travel agency of choice. 95 percent of all Germanwings passengers book their flights on our www.germanwings.com website.

At Germanwings, we are dedicated to making your booking, check-in and flight as convenient and stress free as possible. Since we started some seven years ago, we have repeatedly updated and improved the user-friendliness of our website in the interest of our passengers. We haven’t rested on our laurels here at Germanwings. Instead, we’ve established our position as the leading innovator on the cutting edge of development.

We subsequently took another important technological leap forward in mid-2009, providing you with the added convenience of using your cell phone to access our extensive range of Germanwings services, just like you can on our website. Now, we’ve taken flexibility one step further, enabling our passengers to check in up to 72 hours prior to departure over the internet or via cell phone. And reserving your seat of choice on our state-of-the-art Airbus A319 is easier than ever. Effective immediately, you can select the seat you want up to three hours before departure.

Germanwings is also up to speed on the social networks, providing you with our latest news and tips on Twitter and Facebook. Join Germanwings on www.twitter.com/germanwings to receive useful information and communicate with other “followers”. Germanwings fans can also register at www.facebook.com/germanwings to share pictures and comments with others.

Yet for all the changes, there’s one thing we at Germanwings never lose sight of: namely, offering you top quality at affordable prices. We firmly believe that you appreciate the work we do and hope that you will continue to fly with us in the future. I wish you a pleasant flight.

Yours truly,
Thomas Winkelmann
CEO Germanwings
