Thread: Air Berlin loads to/from DUS from US West Coast?

I'm trying to plan a trip leaving from SEA to Europe this summer. I need to be in Belgrade (BEG) during the last week of July. I have about three days at the end of July to go just about anywhere in Europe on the way back to SEA from BEG.

From the research I've done thus far, it looks like the most economical way to get to BEG is via SFO on Air Berlin (A going through DUS.

On the way home from BEG, I'd like to put another pin on the map for a couple of days. ATH and Rome look like options right now but just about anywhere would work if the loads allowed it.

I'm trying to save as much money as possible so I'd like to non-rev to the maximum degree though I'm not completely opposed to buying tickets if the loads are going to be terrible.

I'd appreciate any advice and insights on planning this trip. I'd especially like to get an idea of what to expect load-wise for the kinds of flights I'm talking about, particularly AB flight from LAX and SFO to/from Europe.

Thanks in advance!
