Freebird Airlines has launched a short Valentine’s competition alongside the restart of its Berlin–Antalya route. Running between 9 and 19 February 2026, the giveaway offers return tickets for two people on the service between Berlin Brandenburg Airport and Antalya. The competition asks participants to count the heart symbols shown in a set of images and submit the total.

The promotion coincides with the resumption of scheduled flights between Berlin and the Turkish Riviera. Freebird Airlines is set to restart operations on the route from 20 February 2026, with services running several times a week. The timing places Antalya back on the winter and early spring travel map for passengers departing from Berlin after a seasonal pause.

According to the airline, the route is aimed at leisure demand rather than one-off holiday peaks. Antalya has remained a strong performer for German outbound travel, supported by year-round tourism and a wide mix of accommodation and activities. The competition adds a short-term incentive, while the broader focus remains on restoring regular connectivity between Berlin and southern Turkey.

What becomes easier to reach

  • Antalya’s historic old town and harbour areas
  • Coastal resorts along the Turkish Riviera
  • Archaeological sites such as Perge and Aspendos
  • Mild winter weather for off-season breaks

With flights resuming in February, these attractions become accessible outside the traditional summer rush, when temperatures are lower and crowds thinner.

The Berlin–Antalya service returns as part of airlines’ continued focus on proven leisure routes beyond the main summer season. Combined with a simple promotional giveaway, the restart underlines steady demand rather than novelty. For people planning early-year escapes, the route adds a familiar option back into the schedule, supported by regular frequencies instead of limited holiday-only operations.
