As part of the continued expansion of the semi-private jet concept, Travelcoup, Europe's first operator of its kind, has unveiled its summer schedule for 2025. The company, which specializes in luxury air travel between established cities and popular holiday destinations, announces that Berlin and Düsseldorf will now be added as new locations in addition to the existing departure airports of Munich and Zurich. This expansion offers travelers more flexibility and access to a variety of destinations, especially in the Mediterranean region.
Travelcoup will offer weekly connections from Munich and Zurich to Nice (France) from May 19, 2025, followed by the launch of a route from Berlin to London Stansted on June 6, 2025. The connection between Munich and Palma de Mallorca and from Zurich to Palma will be operated from April 10, 2025, with flights operating every Thursday and Sunday. This expansion includes a total of 34 weekly flights to five different destinations, offering passengers an unparalleled level of comfort and flexibility.
Niclas Seitz, CEO of Travelcoup, emphasizes that the expanded flight offer closes a gap between classic business class and private jet travel. With a fleet consisting of two Embraer jets, the ERJ-135 and ERJ-145, passengers can enjoy the amenities and comfort of a private jet without having to bear the high costs of a full private flight. The jets offer a maximum of 22 first class leather seats in a 1-1 configuration, ensuring generous legroom of at least 109 cm, as well as free gourmet snacks and fine drinks during the flight.
A key feature of the Travelcoup experience is the first-class handling at the airport. Passengers can travel through an exclusive check-in without long waiting times and a personal security check in the private jet terminal. These aspects help to significantly reduce the stress and hecticness that are often associated with travel. Booking is done via an "empty leg platform" that makes it possible to purchase individual seats on attractive connections and thus avoid empty flights.
The reactions of the first passengers to the concept have been consistently positive. Many appreciate the comfortable service provided on board. The catering includes not only snacks, but also high-quality drinks, including wines produced exclusively for Travelcoup. Travelers report a pleasant flight experience that impresses in terms of both service and comfort.
With the launch of these new routes and the focus on a high-quality travel experience, Travelcoup is positioning itself as a major player in the growing luxury air travel market. The combination of first-class service and a well-thought-out fleet strategy could put the company in a good position to meet the needs of the discerning travelers in Europe and challenge the competition in the private and semi-private flight sector.
