How YOU can get to Berlin in time for Euros last

England have reached the final of Euro 2024 setting up a date with destiny on Sunday in Berlin and fans are pulling out all the stops to join them there going as far as to catch flights via Turkey or driving 10 hours from Calais. 

Since England’s triumph last night desperate fans have been scratching their heads about how best to get to the German capital due to a huge surge in demand for flights with budget airlines now booked up and replacement flights selling at extortionate prices. 

Most non-stop flights to the German capital are sold out and the only remaining direct flight from Manchester and would now set fans back £622 – a 233% increase from its previous price of £187. 

British Airways reported a 1000% increase in searches for flights after the match finished last night and are considering adding extra flights to cope with demand. 

Currently, the airline can best offer a flight from London Heathrow on Sunday which lands at Berlin Brandenburg Airport at 8.15pm, leaving fans just 45 minutes to make the kick-off.

All flights by British Airways on its website for Saturday are listed as ‘unavailable.’

However, there remain dozens of other flights to cities in and around Germany that could offer England fans some hope of reaching the Euros in time to watch England lift the cup (probably). 

MailOnline has analysed trains, boats, flights and roads to bring you the definitive guide to getting to the Euros for Sunday’s huge game. 

By Boat

For those who don’t fancy parting with half their mortgage for a plane fare to Berlin, ferries to Europe are still running. 

Simply pop down to the Port of Dover in your car and take advantage of P&O’s £99 weekender deal. 

After a presumably choppy journey you’ll have plenty of time to reacclimatize to dry land as you sit in your car for ten hours following the long road to Berlin. 

Like soldiers of old you’ll pass through France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany before arriving at the Brandenburg Gate. 

By Train

There are several trains departing from London in the lead up to the match which will get fans there in good time for kick off. 

If you were to depart London at 18:00 you’d be in Berlin just 16 hours and 47 minutes later after one change at the non unreasonable price of £315.19. 

Alternatively, fans have the option of flying from London Heathrow to Szczecin in Poland for just £316. 

After this, it’s case of hopping on a £22 train which takes you on to Berlin in good time for the festivities. 

By Plane

In what has been dubbed a ‘new Berlin airlift’, 50,000 England fans will race to the Three Lions’ first overseas final – as flight prices doubled to £552. 

Fan leaders expect 10,000 more supporters to travel from England, adding to the 40,000 who were in Dortmund for the semi-final.

However, with Berlin now out of action or too expensive to reasonably bother with, many fans have been looking elsewhere to get into Germany. 

A host of other German cities still have multiple flights in and out of them operating all weekend. 

They include Dusseldorf, Munich, Cologne and of course, who could forget: Stuttgart. 

However, these journeys are not for the faint hearted as Germany is a fairly massive country. 

If you were to travel from London Heathrow to Cologne you would fork out £387 for a return before driving to Berlin at a time of 6 hours and 30 minutes. 

A trip from Heathrow to Stuttgart is similar costing £406  before a 7 hour and 11 minutes drive. 

Gatwick to Munich costs £349 before a 6 hour drive to the capital. 

Dusseldorf is the most expensive journey of all, with return tickets from Gatwick costing £457 before a 6-and-a-half hour drive. 

Alternatively, England fans wanting to go on the ultra cheap can fly out to Berlin via Antalya in Turkey for £275 staying overnight in the airport and arriving in Berlin on Sunday morning.
