England fans making late plans face paying nearly £1,000 to get from Gatwick to Berlin for the Euro 2024 final this weekend.

Demand for flights to Germany soared on Wednesday night after Ollie Watkins’ late winner put England through to the final in Spain on Sunday.

And with increased demand prices for plane tickets to Berlin soared too – hitting over £900 from Gatwick.

Currently many of the flights bound from Gatwick to Berlin in time for Sunday are sold out with demand peaking on Thursday evening after England’s semi-final win against the Netherlands.

At one point, EasyJet was charging £918 for a seat on a flight from Gatwick – compared with £167 a week later.

That service has since sold out.

A spokesman for the airline said: “Since the final whistle last night easyJet has seen an increase in demand for flights to and from Berlin.

“Although we don’t artificially put fares up, our pricing is demand-led.

“This means that as quick-thinking football fans booked seats the lower priced fares sold out, however easyJet continues to have availability for direct flights between now and Sunday from the UK to Berlin in time for the game from just over £100, in addition to options for connecting flights via easyJet Worldwide.”
