Berlin to Gran Canaria is one of Germany’s favourite winter-sun runs, and you can fly non-stop to Las Palmas in a little over five hours. It is a medium-haul route with year-round service, busiest in the northern winter when the Canaries offer reliable warmth. This guide covers who flies it, a fair return fare in euros, and how to book for the best price.

Distance: approximately 3,600 km (2,240 miles)

Direct flights: Yes — Eurowings, easyJet and Ryanair fly non-stop from Berlin year-round, with extra seasonal capacity from leisure carriers such as Condor, TUI fly and Sundair in the winter peak. One-stop options exist but are rarely worth it on this route.
Fares from Berlin to Gran Canaria (EUR)
Gran Canaria is a year-round destination, but demand from Germany peaks in the northern winter (November–March), when the island is a warm escape and fares are highest. The European summer and the autumn shoulder are quieter and cheaper. The table below shows when the route is busiest. We no longer print per-month fare estimates here, because they were never measured.
| Month | Demand |
|---|---|
| January | high (winter sun) |
| February | high |
| March | medium-high |
| April | medium |
| May | low-medium |
| June | low |
| July | medium (summer holidays) |
| August | medium-high |
| September | low-medium |
| October | medium (autumn break) |
| November | medium-high |
| December | very high (holidays) |
Based on typical Berlin–Las Palmas pricing, a good non-stop return lands around €70–€110 in the low season, a fair everyday fare is roughly €140, and anything under about €100 is worth grabbing. The Christmas and winter-sun peak pushes toward €250.
Airlines on this route
Non-stop (about 5h15, year-round):
- Eurowings — the most frequent operator, non-stop from Berlin (Terminal 1); bag and seat options on top of the base fare.
- easyJet — regular non-stop service, often the cheapest headline fare.
- Ryanair — early-morning non-stops (Terminal 2); lowest base fares if you travel light.
- Condor, TUI fly and Sundair — extra seasonal and leisure capacity in the winter peak, often with a checked bag included.
One-stop (rarely worth it here):
- Full-service carriers via a Spanish or European hub (Madrid, Barcelona or Frankfurt) — longer and usually pricier than the direct low-cost flights, so only sensible if the timing suits or the non-stops are sold out.
With three low-cost airlines flying non-stop plus seasonal leisure carriers, a direct flight is almost always the best choice on this route — compare the all-in price with bags rather than just the headline fare.
When to book & how to save
- Book 1–3 months ahead for winter-sun travel — November–March fills early from Germany and rarely gets cheaper close in.
- Travel in the low season (May, June, September) for the cheapest fares; the island stays warm and pleasant almost all year.
- Compare low-cost carriers on the all-in price — a Ryanair or easyJet base fare can end up dearer than Eurowings once a checked bag and seat are added.
- Be flexible by a day or two — midweek departures usually beat the Friday–Sunday holiday changeover.
- Consider a package or bag-inclusive fare in winter, when leisure carriers add capacity and sometimes undercut the light fares once luggage is counted.
Arriving in Gran Canaria
Flights land at Gran Canaria Airport (LPA), on the east coast about 18 km south of the capital, Las Palmas, and roughly 25 km north of the southern resorts around Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés. Public Global buses run to Las Palmas and to the south for a few euros (line 60 to the capital is around €3), while a taxi to Las Palmas costs roughly €25–€30 and to Maspalomas about €35–€40. The Canaries use the euro, so no currency exchange is needed.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the flight from Berlin to Gran Canaria?
A non-stop flight from Berlin to Las Palmas takes about 5 hours 15 minutes. One-stop itineraries via a Spanish or European hub take longer — typically 7 to 10 hours in total — and are rarely worth it given the frequent direct flights.
Are there direct flights from Berlin to Gran Canaria?
Yes. Eurowings, easyJet and Ryanair fly non-stop from Berlin to Gran Canaria year-round, with extra seasonal capacity from leisure carriers such as Condor, TUI fly and Sundair in the winter peak. A direct flight is almost always the best option on this route.
How much does it cost to fly from Berlin to Gran Canaria?
A typical economy return runs about €90–€230 depending on the season. Low-season deals dip to around €70–€110, while the December holidays and winter-sun peak push toward €250.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Berlin to Gran Canaria?
May, June and September are usually the cheapest months to fly. Avoid December and the January–February winter-sun peak, which are the busiest and most expensive from Germany.
Which airlines fly from Berlin to Gran Canaria?
Non-stop: Eurowings, easyJet and Ryanair year-round, plus Condor, TUI fly and Sundair seasonally. One-stop routings via a Spanish or European hub exist but are usually slower and pricier.
Which airport do I fly into in Gran Canaria?
You arrive at Gran Canaria Airport (LPA), the island’s only commercial airport, on the east coast between the capital Las Palmas (to the north) and the southern resorts of Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés. Buses and taxis serve both directions from the terminal.
How far in advance should I book?
Aim for 1 to 3 months ahead, especially for winter-sun travel between November and March, which sells out early from Germany. Low-season trips give you more flexibility, but booking early still tends to win on price.
Is it cheaper to fly on weekdays?
Usually, yes — midweek departures (Tuesday to Thursday) tend to be cheaper than the Friday–Sunday holiday changeover, when demand and prices peak. Shifting your dates by a day or two can save a useful amount on a return.
