Buy Eurowings Discover with Alternative Airlines
Eurowings Discover is a long-haul low-cost airline. It's based at Frankfurt International Airport (FRA) and flies to several destinations across the Americas and Africa. Overall, the airline flies to 18 destinations. The airline is a part of the Lufthansa Group. It's not to be confused with Eurowings. Although the airlines are closely related and use the same branding, they're actually two separate airlines. Eurowings is an airline that focuses on short-haul flights from Germany, whereas Eurowings Discover focuses on medium-haul and long-haul flights. They're both part of Lufthansa Group and are sister airlines.
In 2020, Lufthansa announced it was planning on launching a new long-haul leisure subsidiary, which it was initially going to brand as ‘Ocean’ ('Ocean Airlines'). However, in early 2021, it was revealed that the airline would launch as Eurowings Discover instead. Eurowings Discover launched in julio 2021 with two flights flying to Zanzibar and Mombasa, each of which departed from the airline's hub in Frankfurt.
The aim of the airline is to serve long-haul international destinations from Germany that Eurowings no longer flies to. This allows Eurowings to focus on short-haul flights, while Eurowings Discover focuses on long-haul flights.
Although the airline has originally launched with long-haul flights, it might fly short-haul flights that Eurowings doesn't fly in the future. The airline will adapt its route network based on demand as times goes on and the demand for leisure travel returns after the coronavirus pandemic.
