About Eurowings
Eurowings (IATA: EW) is a German low-cost airline and the dedicated point-to-point and leisure travel brand of the Lufthansa Group, which also owns Lufthansa, Swiss, and Austrian Airlines. Rather than operating as a traditional full-service, multi-cabin carrier, Eurowings uses an unbundled fare model — Basic, Smart, and Best — that lets travelers pay only for the baggage, flexibility, and comfort they need.
Eurowings operates without a single dominant hub, instead flying from multiple German bases including Düsseldorf, Cologne/Bonn, Hamburg, and Stuttgart, plus a presence in Vienna, Austria through its Eurowings Europe subsidiary. The airline's network expanded significantly in 2017 when Lufthansa Group absorbed much of the former airberlin's fleet and routes following airberlin's insolvency. FareOptic compares Eurowings fares across its network to find your best EW ticket price.
