Hot on the heels of their recent expansion in both Los Angeles and Las Vegas, Air Berlin will soon begin new nonstop service between Chicago O'Hare and Berlin. Flights will operate three times a week, from March 23 through April 31, and later jump to five times a week, on May 1, just in time for summer.

We checked fares travel in both early April and mid-May and turned up round-trips for $1,069 including all taxes.

Stay tuned for further intro specials as spring 2013 approaches.
