Eurowings to resume flights to Dubai

Eurowings will gradually resume flights to Dubai from November 2026.
From 1 November 2026, Eurowings will operate daily flights from Berlin (BER) and four flights a week from Stuttgart (STR) to Dubai. From 3 November 2026, three weekly flights from Cologne/Bonn (CGN) to Dubai will also resume.
The flights will be operated using Airbus A320neo aircraft.
From December, Eurowings will also resume offering the Premium BIZ Seat on all flights to and from Dubai.

Flights to Erbil remain suspended

Due to the current situation in Iraq, Eurowings flights to Erbil (EBL) will remain suspended up to and including 24 October 2026. Flights to and from Beirut (BEY) and Tel Aviv (TLV) will operate as scheduled.
Affected passengers will be informed immediately. Eurowings is offering flexible rebooking and refund options in accordance with existing regulations.

To keep your travels smooth and stress free, new, standardised rules for carrying power banks in hand luggage will apply from 1 January 2026. These updates follow international safety guidelines for lithium‑ion batteries.

What you can still take on board

Power banks remain hand‑luggage only – they cannot go in checked baggage.

Here’s what applies:

• Up to 100 Wh
  → You can bring your power bank without any restrictions.
• 100 to 160 Wh
  → You can bring up to two power banks, each requiring pre‑approval from the airline.
• More than 160 Wh
  → Power banks of this size are not permitted on the aircraft.

A quick pre‑flight check helps:
Make sure the Wh (watt‑hour) rating is visible on your power bank. If it is not printed, it must be clearly traceable through other values such as volts and mAh.

Why these rules are changing

Lithium‑ion batteries can generate heat if they are damaged or misused. The new, harmonised rules help identify and manage potential risks early so your journey stays safe and relaxed.

What this means for you

For most people, nothing major changes. The new guidelines simply make it easier to choose the right power bank and travel well prepared.

The Entry/Exit System (EES) automatically records when non-EU nationals enter and leave the Schengen area, replacing manual passport stamping. It helps monitor short stays and ensure compliance with EU entry and exit rules.
The EES applies only to non-EU nationals and requires a biometric passport for registration and use of automated border controls. EU and Schengen citizens as well as holders of residence permits or long-stay visas are not affected.

We’re taking your travel experience to the next level: Starting now, you can book our Premium BIZ seat from just €399.99 per leg. On November 22, 2025, we’ll celebrate the premiere with the first flight from Berlin to Dubai – and you could be among the few to enjoy one of just eight exclusive BIZclass seats.
Sit back and relax with an adjustable leg rest, charge your phone via USB, and treat yourself to a drink at the cocktail table. With an aperitif, premium meal, pillow, blanket, and amenity kit, we’ll make sure you feel completely at ease. Your journey won’t just be more comfortable — it will become a truly special experience.

The manufacturer Anker has issued a recall for several powerbank models due to a risk of overheating and potential fire hazard.

Please note: These specific powerbanks are strictly prohibited from being carried on Eurowings flights.

From 27 November 2024, additional countries will be eligible to apply for a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA). Travellers from these countries will need a valid ETA to enter the UK from 8 January 2025 onwards.

An ETA must be applied for before travelling. A processing fee applies, and applicants will usually receive a decision within a reasonable timeframe. Once approved, the ETA is electronically linked to the traveller’s passport, so no physical documents or paper visas are required.

Travellers may still begin their journey if a decision on their ETA has not been made by the time of departure. However, we strongly recommend applying as early as possible.

Please note that dual citizens, including those holding a passport from another eligible country, are not exempt and must also obtain an ETA.

Due to these updated UK entry requirements, please check in advance whether you need an ETA. You can find full details on the official ETA information page.
If you hold a legal status registered with the UK, please also ensure that your UKVI account / eVisa is up to date and linked to your current passport.

More information on this topic is available on the official website of the immigration department.

In a significant policy update, Qatar nationals planning to travel to the United Kingdom will now be required to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) prior to their departure. 

Following the submission of the ETA application, a processing fee will be levied, and applicants can expect to receive a response within a reasonable timeframe. Approved ETAs will be electronically linked to the traveller's passport, eliminating the need for physical documents or paper-based visas.

Update: As of now the ETA requirement applies to nationals of Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia and UAE. More countries are to follow. Individuals with dual citizenship, including citizens holding a passport from another eligible country, will not be exempted and will still need to obtain an ETA.

Passengers must apply for an ETA before travelling to the UK. If the outcome of their ETA application has not been decided before their departure date, they can still travel to the UK pending a decision.
