My wife and I flew AB from Berlin to Budapest last year. We changed planes in Nuremberg.

We flew Air Berlin from Stansted to Berlin and back. Very efficient, friendly and had decent food. I would fly Air Berlin again. I had just noticed they were transatlantic now. Great.

I flew with Air Berlin last August. About 90 EUR from Nuremburg to Athens. Fantastic new plane, lots of legroom, good staff. One of the best short-haul experiences I've had.

Air Berlin wants to merge with Thomas Cook's Condor airline but there are currently some anti-trust issues to take care of since Air Berlin last year took over LTU airlines completely. The long-distance flights to the US and Asia used to be operated by LTU and you'll fly their equipment but with completely modified interiour.
