Eurowings flies away from the record 40-degree heat

Whilst the thermometer in Germany is breaking historic records with maximum temperatures of over 40 degrees, visible changes are emerging in the travel market. As a result, more and more people are being drawn to the cooler north in summer. This trend, known in the travel industry as a ‘Coolcation’, is spreading rapidly as new temperature records continue to be set. As Germany’s largest holiday airline, Eurowings is leading the way in this trend – with an extensive route network to Northern Europe and many attractive destinations that not only promise but guarantee a cool escape.
