An Air Berlin Boeing 737-800, registration D-ABKP performing flight AB-6192 from Munich to Berlin Tegel (Germany), was climbing out of Munich when a strong odour developed in cockpit and cabin. All four cabin crew began to complain about tickle in the throat, nausea and tickle of arms and legs. One flight attendant vomitted and was unable to continue duties for the remainder of the flight. Enroute the odour subsided but returned during the descent towards Berlin. The aircraft landed without further incident on Tegel's runway 26R about 45 minutes after departure from Munich.

Germany's BFU reported in their monthly bulletin that all crew went for a medical checkup after landing. A technical examination of both engines revealed no anomaly.
