Sun, Sand, and Southern Europe

If Mediterranean magic is more your thing, Transavia’s got you sorted:

• From Nantes and Bordeaux, direct flights to Tirana, Albania’s coastal charmer.
• Marseille to Djerba, Funchal, and Larnaca, for that beach-hopping life.
• Lyon to Chania (Crete), because who can resist a Greek island getaway?

Oh, and for those sticking to domestic delights: Montpellier to Bastia is the new go-to for Corsican adventures.

Why Wait?

Munich: Where Beer Meets Business (and Maybe Lederhosen) 

Starting June 16, 2025, Cathay’s inaugural flights to Munich will have you saying “Servus!” to Germany’s most efficient mix of breweries and boardrooms. Four return flights weekly mean you can seal the deal in a tech hub by day and raise a stein at a beer garden by night.

It’s Cathay’s second German destination (Frankfurt, don’t be jealous), so whether you’re chasing pretzels or trying to master the tongue-twister that is "Schweinshaxe," Cathay’s got your itinerary covered. Bonus: you can totally call a beer crawl “cultural research.” Prost! 

Brussels: Politics, Pralines, and Pints 

Back by popular demand on August 3, 2025, Cathay’s Brussels route is the perfect excuse to indulge in chocolate that’s practically a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And with four flights a week, you’ll have plenty of time to balance political sightseeing with beer-tasting tours.

This is where the EU, world-changing decisions, and calorie-packed waffles collide. Whether you're a diplomat in a suit or just someone who travels with an extra suitcase for chocolates, Brussels has you covered.

Flying in Style: The A350-900 Life 

Cathay’s trusty Airbus A350-900 fleet will make sure your journey is as smooth as the butter in those croissants you’ll soon devour. Business Class? Full-flat beds for napping like a boss. Premium Economy? Just enough legroom to feel fancy. Economy? Surprisingly comfy, even if the legroom doesn’t let you bust a dance move.

So, whether your destination is Munich for meetings or Brussels for, uh, waffles (no judgment), Cathay ensures you’ll land refreshed and ready to explore—or eat.

Cathay’s European Love Affair Grows 

With Munich and Brussels joining the lineup, Cathay’s European roster now features 11 cities, including classics like London, Paris, and Amsterdam. As Lavinia Lau, Cathay’s Chief Customer and Commercial Officer, put it:

“We’re thrilled to add Munich and Brussels to our network. Whether you’re in it for business, leisure, or an epic quest for the world’s best pretzel, we’ve got the flights to make it happen.”
